be a ground war with the united states sending 20,000 to 40,000 troops up against isis. it s very complicated. we ll have a greater presence in iraq to protect the iraqi government so it doesn t fall and then we have the same kind of division that we had in the past. we have to have more special forces in iraq to go against isis. we ll have to control aerospace, no question about that. we won t get help for from our european allies this time. it s not like bush and baker when they went to iraq one. i would say to that that we re not only at war against isis. i think what happened in mali on friday shows that we also are at war against al qaeda and there s a war, there s a battle going on right now between isis and al qaeda for supremacy and that is very scary. a lot of that has been i would say we re damned if we do and damned if we don t. when we talk about trying to prevent radicalization, how do
thank you. much more on how we confront isis coming up. the politics of fear. how do we remain safe and still not give in to islamophobia? i want to surveil, i want surveillance of these people that are coming in, the trojan horse, i want to know who the hell they are. erve pain, these feet. .served my country. .carried the weight of a family. .and walked a daughter down the aisle. but i couldn t bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda-approved to treat this pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new, or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet.
individual and the ability to live a life bigger than yourself. look, chuck, i tell you, i have been arguing all along we need a gulf state type coalition, including arabs. we need to work closely with the jordanians, the saudis. we need to work with the gulf states, the egyptians. we need to have a coalition and destroy isis on the ground. i ve argued for no-fly zones that would include the kurds, would include also jordanians protecting these sanctuaries so these refugees do not have to leave their country. but i m also saying that when we win the military battle, what comes next? you all ask what comes next? what we have to make sure of is that we stop the radicalization of people and we can do it together. everybody who believes in civilization and the western ethic and the ability to embrace the importance of the individuals lives here on earth. are you concerned that the front-runners in this race are basically casting all of the republican presidential
they re still in ramadi. they re still in raqqah. those are the areas we have to go after in order to be able to defeat isis ultimately. we ve got to take the territory back, and we ve got to make sure that other countries are part of the effort to try to deal with isis. all of those steps need to be taken. on that specific front, actually, on territory, helene, you had a specific question on that front. i do. but i m also really curious, mr. secretary, about you re talking right now about unifying the command and unifying the anti-isis effort. given that two of the major players three of the major players on that field are the united states, russia, and iran and these are not three countries that actually get along, they re very much adversarial how exactly do you propose that we unify this command and unify this effort? do you envision iranian and russian forces being under an american command? how does this work? no, not really, because i
