to be asking about this and anybody who does i am a living example is shouted down and called a tool is putin. it s s a insane. i applaud you for feeling the umbrage tucker: i m attacked all the time. i i don t care. i care about when and where we commit american troops. i have a son who is 21. it s not a joke. it s not a question of committing troops, sure, there will be troops. we are talking about degrading their air force, degrading the helicopters, doing something we didn t do tucker: what does degrading mean? having so many of them tucker: plus not use euphemisms. lets blow up airplanes and helicopters, if there are people in it, so be it. they ve made their choice, aligned with assad. these are the very people who are dropping i think we have had photographic evidence dropping chlorine bombs on civilian populations. do i feel badly about that? no. should we be doing it? yes. tucker: what s the goal? we take assad out don t tell
so it undermines, i think, the threat of american diplomacy. secondly, it sends a message that he won t attack putin. he won t take putin on. he loves putin. he s unoverwhelmed by putin. this is an opportunity for him to say, you meddled in our election. you shouldn t do that. let s work together on syria, on getting assad out and onnize to maybe find a way to help on north korea because russia can help us a little bit. they are on the border with north korea and and instead, you know, we get sidetracked by this love affair that america seems to have with vladimir putin and siding with him over our own top intelligence officials. that doesn t make sense. the president said that he

first of all, you ve got russia holding their hand. so it s not as easy as saying we re going to go and take assad out. you ve got russia holding their hand. basically allow thg to happen. you ve got iran supporting the situation. haley says now that the u.s. has destroyed isis and syria, the u.s. has its eye on assad. we re not done. this is still playing out. this is all still happening. so you see u.s. actions that could effectively push assad out. i think you can, it s not that we are going to push assad out. but we re not going to let chemical weapons happen. we re not loing to get iran take over. we re not going to allow that to happen. these are all planned on how we can go forward, but the overall message is we are not going to stand by a cruel dictator that uses chemical weapons on his own people. if we ll sanction north korea for that, why are you allowing iran to get a pass?
beforethe chemicalattackwe heard from the secretary of state, the u.n. ambassador that essentially the u.s. was okay with assad being in power, that they were going as nikki haley say sit here and focus on getting assad out. after the attack we heard from the secretary of state that there were moments under way to remove him. last night the white house would not say whether or not they were trying to remove assad. why can t they get on one page here? there will be another round of statements when rex tillerson is expected to be on the sunday shows tomorrow. it s what you get when you hear people say we need a policy. we need some consistency. during the campaign trump was criticized as a chaos candidate. they sort of poo-pooed that. it was the establishment. you brought us a mess. we go in and do things entirely different. this is what entirely different looks like. you have no idea where they are coming from. i ll add one more wrinkle to it.
