from a military standpoint to win this fight. whether we do it politically i don t know. we need to put boots on the ground you re saying 10,000 woods. mccain and lindsey gray happen bev been talking about 90,000 additional boots, not necessarily all our boots. i saw that show and probably had democratic representative kelsy gabbert on and i have to say i agree with her 100%. i question the wisdom of sending in 90,000 troops in iraq and sirach don t think it s necessary. i also don t think that we have to go in with the intent of bringing jeffersonian democracy to syria and iraq. i think we need to focus our mission, very clearly, on defeating isis. they are the clear and present danger. they re a threat to everybody in the world, to clue people from the united states of america, and i think that once we defeat isis we can work diplomatically to remove assad from the
they arrested 21 people last night. they ve released 17. three are being held for questioning and only one has been charges with terror suspects to a failure to many people on the street. the streets are quiet but that it were not last night. helicopters overhead. police closing down many streets and telling people to get indoors. heavilyje3ç armed police raided numerous buildings, including a number in the now infamous district of the prime minister announces there was a serious and imminent attack on this city, possibly by another isis cell, and a thousand new soldiers came on to the streets of the capital, closing subways, schools, shops. those measures remain in place until wednesday so it does seem if any attack has not yet been prevent, for many the main target was abdeslam. the attacker who got aware and is still at large. people are starting to ask questions how that is possible, ten days after the raids.
people relieved the raids came yesterday after a few tense days but the tension resumes today because there s been no success. what is clear now is that many larger questions remain how to control certain areas, immigration, whether police should now be raiding house to house and people understand there s a terror threat and also need their schools back, shops back, subways back, and a lot of tension between the public and the authorities now as information isn t coming across. so we wait to see if an attack is imminent and what the authorities will do. neil. thank you, benjamin. be safe. the latest on belgium. now, how is this all factoring out here in we re obviously on higher alert here in the united states, but politically the one clear advantage has been coming for donald trump. he has been the biggest beneficiary if you want to put it that way in polls, that he was prescient on the threat of isis and those who sneak over borders but what is interesting is what is happening on t

and it s amazing because here he is a united states senator, only for five years, and yet his strongest point is actually foreign policy. smart guys like you remind it is about the economy, and hough it s doing will decide how folks vote could this be a case where concernsesé?[3ç paramount terrot if it s a constant reminder and constant threat, then that changes, doesn t it? well, i ll put it in perspective. for democrats it s all about income inequality. for inches it s about the economy and jobs in general. and for republicans already even before the isis attack, national security was their number one issue, and it is only grown. i promise you this, neil. no republican nominee is going to be successful without having a specific foreign policy,
