We have to understand that doctrine. that s why i love the fact people are angry and outraged at washington and want someone new and fresh, but we need someone who understands and has knowledge and experience in these areas. i can see senator graham has that experience. we have little difference of opinion, but it s not that big a difference of opinion. we want to defeat isis. we have elements in our party that don t. i will use whatever means necessary within the confines not crossing a trick wire that could turn on us. governor pataki, you support ground troops. u.s. army former chief of staff said, isis is a 10 to 20-year problem. how long would you be willing to commit u.s. forces to fight isis? i don t think it s a function of years of going after isis. they re out in the open and in cities like mosul, where we know they have their centers. they have centers we could bomb. what we have to do though is ....
Theology. you say this sounds like gobbly gook, it s what they believe. if we don t take it seriously, we ll make mistakes like invading syria with a ground force and bringing them into the battle they deeply desire. dead men don t preach anything. if you don t understand we need a ground force to go into syria, you re not ready to destroy isil. rick, there s nobody left to train inside syria. let the arabs fight this fight, pay for this war, but they need our help. the difference between me and you and others is that i see you ve got two choices. fight them over there or they re coming here. they re planning another 9/11 as i speak. paris was well planned. they wake up every day in syria trying to find a way to hit us here. if i m president, we re going in with the arabs in turkey and we ll destroy them before they hit us here. ....
Have a commitment from our government, not just for troops on the ground, but to do whatever we can to help our allies on the ground right now. the kurds are fighting. we don t give them the equipment, training and the support they need because our government insists that all aid go through baghdad. baghdad doesn t want a strong independent kurdish army. there are right now sunni sheikhs and tribes in anbar province taking on isis. they are in the process of reclaiming ramadi this week. they are on our side and they are sunni. we are not arming, supporting, training and helping them as much as we can because all support goes through baghdad. they don t want a strong autonomous sunni area. we have to put our interest first. we have to support those on the ground fighting on our side, give them every bit of help they want. to the extent it s necessary for ....
At least one u.s. intelligence report concluded in order to defeat isis and stop its spread worldwide, you have to defeat it on the battlefield. you called for more u.s. troops in iraq, but you say sending u.s. troops into syria would be a mistake. how do you defeat isis with no u.s. ground troops in the country where isis is head quartered? there s all sorts of theological reasons why we may not want to go into syria. isis is a caliphate. they established a caliphate, the first sunni caliphate since 1924. they established a caliphate and under islamic law, good muslims who see them as a legitimate caliphate are required to follow them. that s why we have people in this country who see them as a legitimate caliphate, which is the leader of the sunni muslim world. they are required under their law to follow them. how do we defeat their caliphate? it s very clear how you do so. ....
Off. bullies, when you stand up to them, back down. we have had under obama and under hillary as secretary of state, nothing but weakness in the face of russia. whether it was in the crimea, whether it was in ukraine or now in the middle east. you would give the ukrainians lethal weapons to defend themselves. if russian planes flew into violation of what we declared, yes. senator graham this is an important discussion. the american president is the strongest voice in the world until obama came along. now we re just one of many. when you ask people to help you, when you entice syrians to join your cause to take down the dictator they hate to destroy isil which will attack our homeland and you sit on the sidelines and watch the russian president kill them, it makes it ....
