air war na syria, 60 air strikes report last 24 hours alone. the u.s. believes they re primarily targeting rebel forces fighting government of al assad. back with tulsi gabbard, member of the armed services and foreign affairs committee, iraq combat war veteran, at the same time. getting information from the prime minister of iraq, received a letter from russian president vladimir putin asking for greater cooperation between iraq and russia in the fight against isis, greater cooperation a host of areas, the iraqi prime minister is open to. is this good? i think it is. i think that, as we deal with the situation and this continued and growing threat from islamic extremist groups like sis, al qaeda, al nusra and others we ve got it see where we can build alliances to defeat them wherever they are. we re seeing them sprout up in
us 0en 9/11 and trying to defee at the same time supporting them with arms to overthrow the syrian government. you don t want the u.s. government to provide arms to the rebels. i don t want the u.s. government to provide weapons to al qaeda, to islamic extremists, our enemy. it s a simple concept in my mind you can t defeat your enemy if you re arming them and helping them at the same time. makes so neense. have you told this to officials. it s important for the american people to stand up and say, look, we don t want to go and do what happened in iraq with saddam hussein. do what happened in libya with gadhafi. these are countries that have fallen into chaos and taken over because of actions the united states and others took. any candidate who supports safe no-fly zone in syria must admit u.s. coalition ground air troops are needed to enforce. yes. that s a statement directed
different kettle from iraq, saying pakistan is next to afghanistan. that country has nuclear weapons. so, it s aif he was trying to explain his position now, but there s no question that he said something different two weeks ago. as far as jeb bush and his campaign are concerned, this is exhibit a of what they ve been trying to push for the past five days or so, that donald trump is not ready for prime time on foreign policy. not just that, it s they re trying to paint him as liberal, even akin to the liberal filmmaker michael moore. yeah, and they re going further than that. but jeff, for his supporters among republicans, it doesn t really seem to matter, does it? it hasn t up until this point. i mean, we could string together a series of examples. remember that hugh hewitt radio interview before the cnn presidential debate, he was unable to sort of identify, you know, things right geographically and leaders. that didn t hurt him at all. he s still the leader in the polls. but
many different regions. does it not concern you al assad s regime has been brutal killing at least 200,000, 300,000 people with barrel bombs and reports of hundreds of thousands of people who have been left homeless, billions in fact, refugees, and the u.s. is obviously, so many other international powers upset about that and want to get rid of him as a result of what he s been doing to his own people over the past four years? yeah, wolf it concerns me deeply to see this tremendous and tragic human suffering. i think it s important for leader of the world, leaders here in the united states, to look at this issue, though, and say, okay, if you do, in syria, what happened in libya, what happened in iraq because the same things that are being said about assad right now were said about gadhafi, said about saddam hussein by those advocating for the u.s. to go in and intervene, overthrow those regimes and dictators, the fact is, that if that happens here in syria, as
director john brennan testify before your committee as a result of the hacking of his personal e-mail account? i would leave that up to the chairman, devon nunez, but i would certainly urge that we have director brennan come in and give us a full scope and explanation as to what happened, because this goes far beyond john brennan. it goes, could any secrets have been compromised, and what steps are going to be taken in the future to prevent this from happening? and also, is there anyone else at the cia who s using, you know, private e-mail, and whether or not any government documents go on those personal accounts. are you using private e-mail? i use it for totally nongovernmental. i use it for personal and political. for personal and political reasons, because you can t use government e-mail for political reasons, fund-raising, stuff like that. you saw the reports from barbara starr at the pentagon, oren liebermann in jerusalem. it looks like that whole region now is on fire,
