this is inexplicable behavior. if we can t protect the kurds, if we re unwilling to do that on the ground, it seems to me if we were the country we were five years ago or even a month ago, wouldn t we be trying to air lift kurds out of harm s way? well, i think we could have deterred turkish advance. i don t think there is any chance if we said, look, we re going to maintain our presence there, backed up by u.s. air force and naval air, i doubt seriously that turkey would have considered the option of encountering and combat u.s. forces. if they did, the russians attacked us last year and we killed several hundred of them. so the point of military power at its best is deterrence, and that s what mr. trump took away. the kurds have nowhere to go now. they re beleaguered by the turks. the iraqis tortured them for the
there, backed up by u.s. air force and naval air, i doubt seriously that turkey would have considered the option of encountering and combat u.s. forces. if they did, the russians attacked us last year and we killed several hundred of them. so the point of military power at its best is deterrence, and that s what mr. trump took away. the kurds have nowhere to go now. they re beleaguered by the turks. the iraqis tortured them for the last three generations. they re in a terrible fix. and, again, to remind our viewers, they were the essential part of dismantling the isis threat to europe and the united states. they took massive casualties. supported by u.s. special operations and air power. so we have thrown them to the wolves and we didn t get anything for it. death toll of 11,000 at our sides the entire time. general, i want to show this
know, this fellow down the street and i hear the closest coming out of the bush, it s only 500 feet from the police station. i feel a little bitter about that. reporter: mr. champaign echoing what we ve heard from many residents, that it appears that the two individuals have holed up in what is perhaps one of the worst places in canada when it comes to terrain. just about anywhere you go you ll run into woods or wetlands. this could potentially not only help investigators track them down, it could potentially limit their movements because once you get to gillum, manitoba, you can t really go further north without encountering any any other rather, the further north you go, the less kind of population that you potentially see. it s certainly something that is could potentially lead to a challenge for investigators. at the same time, also make it harder for the individuals to hide. uh-huh. paolo sandoval for us this morning. thank you.
