Rubio: Put U.S. attacks against ISIS on YouTube
The Florida senator has tried to play up his national security expertise, a focus since he was elected to the Senate in 2010.
Rubio said government agents who misuse surveillance technology to spy on American citizens should be “fired and prosecuted”, but added that the bill significantly curtailed “valuable tools in the war on terror that allow us to learn more about the terrorists than they know about us, and allow us to identify them and potentially disrupt plots before they’re carried out”.
Fellow Republican Candidate John Kasich appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday, where he said he’s outlined a plan for boots on the ground, but believes the battle is much more complex than just sending troops to a war zone.
Titled “A Civilizational Struggle”, the 30-second spot features a solemn Rubio speaking into the camera about why the US must eliminate the threat posed by the self-described Islamic State.
Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio called the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris a “positive development” for America’s issue of national security.
These aren’t disgruntled or dis-empowered people, Rubio says. The ad will air nationally beginning on Tuesday.
“We should be carrying out attacks against (ISIS) leadership nodes, videotaping the whole thing, and putting it up on YouTube so the world can see these people are not invincible”, Rubio said. These are radical terrorists who want to kill us, because we let women drive, because we let girls go to school.
Marco Rubio vows he will use American forces to inflict “high-profile, humiliating defeats” on ISIS. The latest poll in the early caucus state shows him trailing front-runner Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson.
