because what he has seen is what happens when you go after donald trump. there is a large portion of the republican electorate that doesn t want to put boots on the ground. i play both sides, and it s 67% in our favor. there is something about the era of discussion. it would take 30,000 to 40,000 troops, people, to get rid of isis. that s the private assessment of the government. they re good at assessing. they say 30,000 to 40,000. no. somebody s got to come up with those troops and who is it supposed to be? the answer is if you decide to do it it will be the united states. michael leiter assess what you heard on the policy front. i m not going to ask you to weigh in on the political front. thank you very much. what do you hear from governor bush about what he got right and what he got wrong? one, assad remains the core of this problem. until we have a good strategy to get rid of assad, isis will
basically playing even and that helps the movement beyond syria and iraq see that this is an attractive army to fight for in. you said playing each and the containment line. absolutely. we are not overwhelming them with force. andrea? congressman mccall, he said we are arming foreign fighters and he is talking about the peshmerga and the failure to set up the syrian resistance against assad. where do you stand on that? what should the administration do now that paris has happened? doesn t this change the whole equation? i think paris changes everything and it s gal zhannizing the entire world to deteet and destroy isis and not just to contain them. that s been the policy of this administration is to contain them. that isis would be contained i would hate to see what isis looks like unleashed. we ve had three major external operations and the latest being in paris and the russian airliner.
coalition to replace this radical islamic terrorist threat to our country and to europe and to the region with something that is more peace loving. we have to be engaged in this. this is not something you can contain. each day that isis exists it gains new energy and more rekruts around the world. you know, everything is a divide here. there s democracy and security and stability. for instance, in dealing with isis, our coalition partners like turkey and sawudi arabia, they care about dealing more with assad than dealing with isis, should the united states push the pause button on getting rid of assad? no. i think we node to do both. we need to build that force up which is not what s happening. this is viewed as a law enforcement exercise by the obama administration. we should declare war and harness all of the power that the united states can bring to bear both diplomatic and military, of course, to be able
so good. u.n. inspectors hoping to get rid of the regime s arsenal in the next nine months. not easy. there are missile warheads and other instruments destroyed yesterday. so the process has become the gun in record time. we are appreciative for the russian cooperation as well as obviously the syrian compliance. general tom mcinerney, fox news military analyst. good day, sir. this would be record time for the u.n. if this is true. this would be history, right? it will be historic, bill. i must tell you i was skeptical initially. i m immensely impressed how fast and how far they have done. it will be historic if they stay on the same schedule. how do you figure out in the end if you have everything that you need to go after and assad isn t hiding this material? so your deep concerns are what
thorny issue of syria s chemical weapons in a way that has the put the issue to the side now. they can, negotiate this for the next five years. but as long as assad isn t using the weapons, obama has won. he scored it. he scored what he wanted to achieve. if you look at boehner, you know in the last couple weeks he had probably the worst couple weeks in washington. because he is in the center of this republican circular foreign squad. obama wisely did not get engaged with negotiating a budget deal or get involved in negotiating a debt ceiling hike. he will get to that s eventually. he sort of stepped back. let the other side, self-emulate. spectacle tonight of ted cruz trying, doing a fake filibuster, while most of the republican party, mitch mcconnell and others are scratching their head and saying this is just really dumb. and the republican look like they re like they don t have a consend us. they don t have a strategy. they can t work together with each other. let alone neg
