CNN: Hillary Clinton calls for U.S. to 'intensify and broaden' efforts to fight ISIS
Hillary Clinton is calling for more allied planes, more airstrikes and a "broader target set" -- though no large-scale mobilization of U.S. ground troops -- to combat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
She urged Congress to approve a new authorization of the use of military force against ISIS, saying that doing so would signal "that the U.S. is committed to this fight. The time for delay is over. We should get this done."
In the wake of the Paris attacks, for which ISIS has claimed responsibility, Clinton said that "every society faces a choice between fear and resolve" -- an indirect shot at her Republican foes in the 2016 presidential race, who have called for the United States to shut out Syrian refugees.
"This is no time to be scoring political points. We must use every pillar of American power, including our values, to fight terror," Clinton said.
WNU Editor: Her no-fly zone will not fly ... unless she wants to go to war against Russia. Her calls for a more effective air-campaign means nothing .... current rules of engagement prohibits any hope for success. And her calls to work with our allies .... with the exception of the Kurds who want weapons .... we have far too few allies in Syria. And in Iraq .... U.S. allies in Iraq have been burned more than once by the U.S., and I doubt that many will be willing to work again in this new war. But what surprised me was her vow to keep American troops out of Syria, even if there's another terrorist attack within the US .... Clinton: No Troops in Syria, Even If Attack on US Soil (AP). I have trouble seeing how that will be acceptable for most Americans.
