the isis leaders would be. they're gone. because everybody's talking about how iraq which is us with our leadership goes into fight mosul. now, with these 200 admirals and generals, they can't believe it. all i say is this. general george patton, general douglas mcauthur are spinning in their grave as the stupidity of what we're doing in the middle east. >> secretary clinton, you want assad to go. you advocated arming rebels. it looks like that may be too late for aleppo. you talk about diplomatic efforts. those have failed. cease fires have failed. would you introduce the threat of u.s. military force beyond a no-fly zone against the assad regime to back up diplomacy? >> i would not use american ground forces in syria. i think that would be a very serious mistake. i don't think american troops should be holding territory
