People Are Beginning To Understand

I Said That We Needed To Have People On The Ground, Troops On The Ground In A Coalition Similar To What We Had In The First Gulf War.

You Know, It's Trying To Put Toothpaste Back In The Tube. Not Only Are There A Lot Of Outsiders Intervening But This Also Involves A Vicious Internal War. There Are Many Who Believe The Alawites Will Fight To The Death Because They Believe That, Should They Lose Power, The Majority Would Take, Would Show No Compassion For Them. They Ruled That Country For A Long Time, Ruthlessly. It Is A Vicious Civil War That Makes One Want To Cry Every Day.

Well, It's Not All Americans. But I Understand Those Polls. But As A Result Of That, That's Not Going To Change My Position. I Mean I Don't Think It Is Even Practical And I Don't Think It's Right. I Mean Just Because Somebody Happens To Be Of The Muslim Faith, Doesn't Make Them A Terrorist Or Make Them A Threat To America. And We've Had Relations With People All Over The World Of The Muslim Faith.

We Have To Go Massively, Like We Did In The First Gulf War Where We Destroyed Saddam's Ability To Take Kuwait. We Need To Have A Coalition That Will Stand For Nothing Less Than The Total Destruction Of Isis And We Have To Be The Leader.

Let Me Just Suggest To Everybody, And I Hear - Last February [2015], I Said We Needed To Have People On The Ground In A Coalition With Europe And Our Allies. This Is Not Going To Get Done Just By Working With The Sunnis. And It Is Not Going To Get Done If We Just Embed A Few People.
