reciprocat reciprocated. as we saw in san bernardino, these people have no intention whatsoever of reciprocating our goodwill. this is unbelievable that in you are due she wrote in 2012 and in 2014 her hatred to us, the praising of 9/11 and her adherence to isis or al qaeda. here in america, we re concerned about met a data collection which the president defended for acquiescing. it doesn t seem the american people, if aware, will allow this to stand. brian, it s just obscene. again, this is all done with the air that we re going to show these people how kind 57bd courteous and how loving and how respectful we are of their customs and privacy. the folks committed themselves to the path of jihad of isis or al qaeda have no intention of returning our kindness whatsoever. that has been paid for in blood, i m afraid. with two in person
to do anything to do what isis wants the united states to do which is drive a wedge between the muslimss who live in the west and this awful terrorist organization. as i speak, wolf, the fascistic far right party in france just swept regional elections there. they took 30%. they re the first party among all political parties. this is coming right off the back of paris. i m already seeing isis say this is wonderful, it will show the muslims of france they have two choices, the fascists or isis. so the president does have to be careful, but just one final point here. he has tried to divorce, wron y ly in my view, domestic policy from foreign policy. say we must empower moderate republicans to stand up and denounce isis, this is a religion of peace, this is all and good. when muslims are being gassed and bombed and the united states is acquiescing to this, the president said we re just fighting isis, the syrian people, the syrian opposition is fighting russia, iran and the
failings that have allowed this to occur. the first was the invasion of iraq which destabilized ethnic elements in iraq and empowered iran. the second was the arab spring which created huge vacuums in libya and in syria that allowed terrorist movements to move in there and the third was the recent deal allowing iran to move forward and eventually acquire a nuclear weapon which sent bad signals, bad body language about whether we re acquiescing in iran becoming a strong piece of the formula in that world. i say as someone five years in the pentagon and opposed the war in iraq, whose son fought in iraq, i fought in vietnam. but if you want a place where we need to be in terms of our national strategy, a focus, the greatest strategic threat that we have right now is resolving our relationship with china. we need to do this because of

leadership. well, rick, others would point to the fact that putin seems unintimidated by red lines, any pronouncements. what do you make of it? it may not be leadership we can squabble about whether or not this is leadership. president obama seems to be focus ed on that word. it is clearly winning. russia is winning. they grabbed crimea. there were no consequences. what we heard when the russians grabbed crimea back then from president obama was, this is not something that is very good for them in the long run. he seems to make this argument that, you know, they re going to see that being on the offense is not good in the long run. and i think that s really dangerous for our president to say, because it looks like he s acquiescing to them. it looks like he s allowing the russians to go on offense and you look what is going on in syria, now we got the syrian army really beginning to take
