Hillary & Trump Announce Opposite Positions on ISIS

[protectionist]

Two very contrasting positions about how to deal with ISIS were just stated by Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Asked by Fox News host Bill O’Reilly if NATO troops should now launch a ground and air offensive against unspecified terrorist targets. “I would say that would be just fine,” Trump replied. Essentially a repeat of his often repeated phrase >> "We should knock the hell out of them, and take the oil."

Hillary Clinton was asked about Trump’s comments during her own appearance on CNN around one hour later. She said >> “It is a very different kind of war,” adding that "ISIS would love to draw the United States into a ground war in Syria. They actually think the end times would be hastened if we had some confrontation in that region. So we’ve got to be smart about this, not get pushed or pulled into taking action that doesn’t have the positive effect it needs to have.”

So what is her position ? Go to war or not ? And what does she mean by "doesn’t have the positive effect it needs to have.” Of course it would have a positive effect. By exterminating ISIS, we eliminate their threat of coming here and nuking us, we stop all the havoc they're causing here, in the ME, N.Africa, and Europe. And yes, we take their oil. Every drop.

Hillary added that "We need to have an intelligence surge." This coming from the woman who as Sect of State had zero intelligence on Libya. And just what good would having intelligence on ISIS do, if you're not going to fight them, as her policy appears to be ? If and when we get the intelligence, then what ? Use it for a new round of TV Jeopardy ? Make more $10 Million speeches from it ?

Fact is, this woman has no clue on foreign affairs. As Sect of State all she did was take an all-expenses paid (by US taxpayers) trip around the world, wining & dining with foreign leaders, and doing nothing. Her claim of foreign affairs "experience"is a joke. Had she not married Bill, she'd be little or nothing. That's why she puts up with his cheating. He's her meal ticket. Bill even had to come to her rescue in the email case.

Sorry Hillary. Being Bill's wife doesn't qualify you to be the Commander in Chief, and you don't stop terrorists who are out to kill you, by getting intelligence about them, and leaving it at that.

Also, Hillary has gone 272 days without a press conference (as opposed to Trump who has one about every day) Another notable OPPOSITE.

Trump would probably feel neglected if he didn't have daily pressers lol. The man is clearly a workaholic.

There's no neat and tidy answers for ISIS. I like the idea of taking over their oil though.

Interestingly enough I've heard Hillary described as a workaholic as well. It may be true but it was used as a reason why she doesn't seem to have many other interests and thus people have a hard time relating to her. (Not because other people don't work hard but the lack of interests)

Prep-school general is gonna knock the hell out them, like they did the rival school & doing so w/ 5 deferments to Veit Nam & an alleged bone spur to boot.

You would be smart to sell it to the Kurds & let them deal w/ it....

Imagine the workings of that & the commitment to protecting those assets there.... Stupid idea by a prep-school general.... Just talkin shit, straight outta his ass..

I read her answer and like all her answers to questions, it isn't an answer at all....I still don't know what her position is...

Hillary added that "We need to have an intelligence surge."

like this hasn't been done?

But there is no reason for (more) US ground troops - we have several thousand in Iraq and Syria as it is now.

The Iranians/Kurds/Shi'a militias -and even some Iraqi regulars (shocking!)are working in tandem to kill and remove ISIS in Iraq..

They are capturing cities near Mosul right now - the last great liberation of Iraqi cities might even start this year.
