United States presidential candidate Hillary Clinton calls for more aggressive action in

She called for working “with the coalition and the neighbors to impose no-fly zones that will stop Assad from slaughtering civilians and the opposition from the air” – steps that Obama has so far refused to take.

Sanders met with reporters before speaking at a rally organized by the SC Democratic Party and afterward filed his paperwork as a candidate in the state’s primary. “I will not deny, if the election were held today, we would lose”.

This alone is enough to differentiate her position from a few of her Republican rivals. “But the threat from ISIS can not wait”, said Clinton.

Clinton, meanwhile, has the particulars of her record – specifically, why Isis grew so strong on her watch – to answer for. “I do agree with her, and I do agree with Obama insofar as taking the 10,000 refugees that he has said we would take”.

Clinton echoed that sentiment one day later, declaring: “This is a time for American leadership”. She noted that US goals in the region have shifted as ISIS has expanded its reach and its threat has evolved.

In her remarks, Clinton echoed President Obama, and said she did not believe it was a “smart move to make” to “have again a hundred thousand American troops in combat in the Middle East”.

Below, we attempted to compile all of the candidates’ views on a series of topics related to the fight against ISIS.

Clinton referenced the successful “Sunni Awakening” of the Iraq war, during which Sunni tribal leaders fought alongside United States forces against Al Qaeda.

NY Mayor Bill De Blasio, who just recently endorsed Clinton’s candidacy, sat in the front row, joined by Vernon Jordan, a longtime adviser to the Clintons, and Richard Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations.

The lead Democratic presidential candidate outlined a three-pronged strategy to defeat IS, disrupt and dismantle the infrastructure that facilitates the flow of arms, fighters and propaganda across the world, and to bolster global defenses against radical jihadism. She called on the United Nations to update rules aimed at choking off finances to the terror group, said asked that other Arab allies including Saudi Arabia do more to prevent their citizens from funding extreme groups.

“Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism”, she insisted at one point, accusing those who spoke of “radical Islamic terrorism” of aiding the enemy by “alienating partners we need by our side”.

She was toughest on Turkey, a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation ally.

Clinton did not say how many additional special forces should be deployed.

Republicans, however, say that her resume is also a liability.

President Obama has been criticized for doing little to change U.S. policy in Syria following the attacks in Paris, Beirut, and Egypt. Secretary of State John Kerry flew to France to show solidarity and assess the situation there. In a speech at the Citadel on Wednesday, Jeb Bush called for American boots on the ground. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida support it.

“What we have done with air strikes has made a difference, but now it needs to make a greater difference and we need more of a coalition… flying those missions with us”, Clinton said. “I don’t think it’s useful to go back and re-plow old ground”, she said.

“The entire world must be part of this fight, but we must lead it”, Clinton said Thursday at the Council on Foreign Relations here. She would “roll up her sleeves-not only lay down the policy, but be involved with implementing it on the high levels that would be required”, Galston said. Republicans among the 2016 field and in Congress and state houses have sought to bar refugees, at least temporarily, for fear that terrorists might be among them.

“Turning away orphans, applying a religious test, discriminating against Muslims, slamming the door on every single Syrian refugee-is just not who we are”.

The two parties are nearly tied when it comes to the question of who does a “better job keeping the U.S. prosperous”.

Her proposals are much sounder than President Obama’s, at least in theory, but perhaps less honest. None other than conservative columnist David Brooks of the NY Times wrote of Clinton’s speech in his column on Friday, ” The speech was very impressive.
