Marco: "You will not defeat ISIS from the air"

want to have you here you know his thoughts were echoed in a lot of places over the weekend is there going to be a fundamental reevaluation of Howard domestic

politics rather than what's in the best interest of the outcome which is Victor and that's what happened with the White House they ultimately

reluctantly came to deal with this issue what much later than they should have and even then they did it in a way that hash back to the night two thousand eight campaign in two thousand twelve campaign as

far as being the president who can brag about this engaging us and mentally as opposed to approaching this as what is the best strategy to

defeat and you're seeing the results of it you cannot defeat an army on the ground simply from the air and to put all your eggs in the basket of hoping that local ground forces will be able to do the job with

a deeply flawed strategy from the beginning at the ideal outcome but it's also increasingly the least likely the

likeliest outcome necessity here is that they will involve some coalition ground forces from outside of Iraq to defeat I alright

it we've been talking to Turkey Turkey now says that they'll allow us to begin missions from Turkey

I do you think we should be pressuring them as well to have put ground troops on the line in this fight you

know in fact we shouldn't be pressuring them at all they should be wanting to do that Nico Bonnie is on their border half an essence all of those refugees all the people playing a certain massacre there

are going to go into Turkey the problem with Turkey is that this whole issue has become a mess in their own domestic politics an innate view that

the the curtains on the other side of the border as equally bad border as equally bad so in their mind they're not quite sure what to do to match from their domestic political perspective but

the bottom line is they and me and the army in the short term the Turks have more at stake here than we do know and

their members of NATO they should act like a member of NATO and we're sending an American assessment team Iraq

to begin the training process that the belief is that there's about four thousand fighters perhaps that are ready

people are available and that we're going to nineteen to start working on that I think I support all those things that would be great the problem is that this conflict is more Sir

than our ability to identify train equip and place in the field %HESITATION these rebel elements or anybody for that matter isis

it's not just in Kobani it the progress they've made now on the outskirts of Baghdad and other parts of the country never

let me let me tell you what what if they succeed in Kobani it will completely demoralized our ability to rally any sort forces

on the ground to confront them that's one people strip off their uniforms they abandoned ship they abandon their pope well

does not define the strategy of the coalition with respect to does the body is one community and it's a tragedy of what is happening we

to me like he's preparing everybody per per failure there that's an absurd statement I'll tell you why imagine for a moment if you are a SUNY or she or for that matter on the ground in Iraq who

is preparing to go on fighting confront I and you're all fired up because the U. S. is hitting them from the air and yet despite these airstrikes they keep when now

would I join the losing side I'm it's better for me to flee into Turkey or Jordan or Lebanon or anywhere for that matter it

it would be deeply demoralizing to the software to allow them to take territory in for John Kerry to say that proves
