that without putting american soldiers on the ground, it is impossible. and i would go a step further. i think all these issues that are around the world today, if ronald reagan were president, they would still be there, and there would be no answer to them, unless you wanted to commit united states forces on the ground in nigeria, in egypt, go on down the list. do you want to do that? the american people don t want to do that, we don t have the money to do that. the idea of leadership, what does leadership mean in this? when obama tried to get people to do sanctions, none of the europeans would do it. now they re thinking about it. i repeat what i said last week this is the worst nightmare putin could have. i would like to think so, his poll numbers are still really high in russia. state run media, they don t know what s going on half the time. they believe the ukrainians shot down the jet. kimberly, if russia is the culprit, we can do things, bring back a missile defense system,
with the crisis with no policy reform. i think that contributes to people having less confidence in their government. i would say that obama has put more resources, more money, more people on that border than any other president. to no effect? is the incompetence so great drug traffickers. you have to do more then. that wasn t sufficient. if somebody is bleeding on the operating table, get in, all hands in to stop the bleeding. you don t say i tried now but it is still really bad. that s what you re saying, do more. what s going on is reflecting greater ideology. you can t just say he s sending people back when legal immigrants are getting driver s licenses. we are creating new rules for people that are these are undocumented to use the politically correct phrase. we re creating pull factors for people from other countries to come here. they know they can get all of
this is a way to kick the can down the road. they were waiting for the irs investigation, waiting for the va investigation. why don t they send investigators in? how are they going to get there? how do they get there when people are shooting at them? people are being shot at. you said we have the most amazing army and now we can t go to the ukraine? you want to put them on the ground in ukraine? if you want to be a war monger in the ukraine, do it. boys. that s bull [bleep]. i want to protect the crime scene there. the urge to defend president obama is like overtaking everyone s common sense and sensiblity. i tell you what, the world deserves a better policeman than one that can only fight and defend, a president that should at this point be able to build a coalition. that s all it is. not talking about invasion. the world doesn t have faith and confidence in us to have
in 1988, bob, you know more about this than i do, when the pan am flight was blown up over scotland, the west pulled together and isolated libya and did it fairly rapidly. it is not apples to apples necessarily, but i do think in this case you see some strong rhetoric from our ambassador, samantha power at united nations. i don t know if it is a strategy for the white house comments from the president not to match up with strong rhetoric from samantha power at the u.n., but seems to me it might be able to help if they could make those two match up and back it up with action. could help the policy position to get europe to try to take the lead. do you know that you said the president of the united states was responsible for the downing of this airplane? no, i didn t say that, bob. if you go back, you said that plane was down because obama s weakness. i did not. i think the point she was trying to make, bob, she said if you have diplomacy, it only works with threat of military
if president obama isn t sending troops to secure the border, rick perry will. today, the texas governor announced plans to deploy 1,000 troops from the national guard. i will not stand idly by why citizens are under assault and little children from central america are detained in squaller. we are too good a country for that to occur. that is why today i am using my executive authority as governor of texas an ad activating the national guard. 1,000 troops in support of the department of public safety on-going surge of operation. strong words and rhetoric, backed up by action, jesse, from governor perry. about time.
