Bush: More US troops to Middle East
“I can make a forceful case against her… hell yeah, I can do it”. If he cant break through on this, then hes not going to break through at all.
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says the United States must commit USA ground forces to the Middle East to fight the Islamic State.
“I think the biggest threat today… is Islamic terrorism, this asymmetric threat that is organized to destroy Western civilization”, Bush told the FOX Business Network.
“We don’t need to be the world’s policemen, but we must restore our place as the leader and indispensable power of the free world”, he said, calling for expanding the size of the active-duty Army and Marine Corps and for accelerating the Pentagon’s purchase of new ships and planes.
However, Mr Bush was chided by President Obama on Wednesday after the Republican suggested that Syrian refugees should prove that they are Christians before immigrating to the United States.
In addition, Bowers was removed from Hillary Clinton’s Virginia Leadership Council, a campaign spokesperson who called the mayor’s remarks “outrageous” told Buzzfeed.
The impact of Friday’s attacks in Paris on the US campaign for the November 2016 presidential election has been swift and powerful, with national security thrust back to the top of voter concerns.
Bush has urged the White House to declare war on ISIS, insisted on more troops in the region, called for a no-fly zone over Syria and advocated for the reauthorization of the National Security Agencys bulk collection of US phone data.
Other candidates have been more cautious.
Bush repeated the core of his defense policy speech earlier Wednesday at The Citadel in SC.
So what explains the sureness that voters who are anxious about terrorism will come around to Jeb Bush?
“If ever there were a time for such a program, it is now, and yet too few in Congress were courageous enough to defend this program when it mattered most”, he said.
Bush, who has fallen to the middle of the pack in polls, is looking to revive his political fortunes. Of course, said Reed Galen, a veteran of former President George W. Bushs campaigns.
Cruz explained to Karl that his legislation would bar not only Syrian migrants but any Muslim migrants from countries with a serious Al Qaeda or Islamic State presence – an idea very similar to legislation that Cruz’s fellow Republican presidential contender Sen. He has no military or direct foreign policy experience. There are several new ads on the topic from Ben Carson, John Kasich and Donald Trump.
The speech came amid a fierce political debate within the U.S. over whether to limit or halt the resettlement of refugees fleeing war-ravaged Syria.
After Bush submitted his paperwork and his $1,000 check to get on the ballot with Secretary of State Bill Gardner, he sat down in a chair to speak with the press about the strategy he feels must be waged in the global battle against ISIS, asserting that the USA must do more to fight the terror group.
He certainly isnt talking to the base when he says something like that, Rollins said.
