What The 2016 Candidates Would Do About ISIS, In One Chart
Clinton called on Silicon Valley along with the private sector to assist the government to stop the online growth of ISIS.
Instead, Clinton sought to ramp up pressure on Iraq’s Shia-led government and on Turkey to set aside old grievances.
The older the voter, the more likely he or she is to disagree with the president’s assessment of what ISIS stands for. Turning away orphans, applying a religious test, discriminating against Muslims, slamming the door on every Syrian refugee: “That is just not who we are”, she said. And by calling on Congress to quickly authorize the use of military force, she is challenging her former colleagues to do what they refused to do when the president asked for such authority in 2013.
“We have to fit a lot of pieces together, bring a lot of partners along, move on multiple fronts at once”, she said, speaking to a small audience gathered at the Council on Foreign Relations in Manhattan.
“We need to challenge our best minds in the private sector to work with our best minds in the public sector to develop solutions that will both keep us safe and protect our privacy”, Clinton said.
The Anbar Awakening was only made possible by the surge in US forces which Clinton then opposed and now supports.
Reading her speech at a brisk clip from a teleprompter at the Council on Foreign Relations in NY City, she slowed momentarily to mock three words – “radical Islamic terrorism” – that Republicans often accuse President Barack Obama of purposefully avoiding.
Clinton echoed that sentiment one day later, declaring: “This is a time for American leadership”.
This alone is enough to differentiate her position from a few of her Republican rivals.
“After making clear that the heart of the crisis is the conflict between Sunni and Shia adherents of Islam and the loss of territory in which Sunni can feel they have a voice, Clinton states that…” we need to lay the foundation for a second Sunni awakening.
“Hillary Clinton has demonstrated she is the wrong person to take on and defeat the growing threats facing the United States”. “I think it’s improper to turn our back on those people now”, he said.
Clinton criticized Republican Sen.
Yes, she called for more airstrikes, a no-fly zone over Syria and boots on the ground.
And she made news Saturday by saying that ISIS “cannot be contained; it must be defeated”.
Then-New York senator Clinton in 2002 supported George W. Bush’s push for war.
Top Democrats are starting to break with Obama over Syria, further weakening his waning influence inside his own party. “When NY was attacked on 9/11, we had a Republican president, a Republican governor, and a Republican mayor, and I worked with all of them”. But it does call for the mobilization of the United States military in broader air strikes in Syria. ISIL terrorists, who control parts of Syria and Iraq, have claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks. And let’s not forget: She was the one who gave him that “reset” button.
The former Secretary of State said in order to accomplish that objective the USA must recognize that ISIS is “demonstrating new ambition, reach, and capabilities” which must stopped.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is spending the coming weeks promoting a series of tax benefits that she says will help boost the take-home pay for middle class families.
The United States and its allies have been conducting airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria since past year. She said success will only be achieved if Arab countries and Turkey step up involvement in a “much bigger way”.
Ms Clinton’s cautious comments on stage at the Democratic debate, viewed by eight million people, reflected the mood of Democratic primary voters who are more focused on the economy.
