Is Hillary Clinton Correct When She Says We Are 'Finally Where We Need To Be In The Fight Against The Islamic State?



Yahoo News: Hillary Clinton criticized over ISIS comments, Trump recruitment video claim

Republican presidential candidates are blasting Hillary Clinton over the Democratic frontrunner’s assertion that the United States is “finally where we need to be” in the fight against the ISIS — and her unsubstantiated claim that the terror group is using a video of Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric as a recruiting tool.

“We now finally are where we need to be,” Clinton said during Saturday’s Democratic debate in New Hampshire. “We have a strategy and a commitment to go after ISIS. … And we finally have a U.N. Security Council resolution bringing the world together to go after a political transition in Syria.”

Her GOP rivals and other top Republicans pounced.

“No @HillaryClinton,” former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tweeted. “We are not ‘where we need to be’ in fight against ISIS.”

WNU Editor: When I heard her say that my eyebrows went up. But she is stating what many Americans want to hear .... that America is slowly degrading ISIS and we are doing so without committing massive numbers of American troops. The Republican alternative (with the exception of Trump and to a lesser extent Ted Cruz) .... is to escalate and expand the war by committing massive number of U.S. ground troops .... a position that I suspect many Americans do not feel comfortable with. As for that Trump recruitment video that she says the Islamic State is using .... Trump supporters are having a field day .... Donald Trump Recruitment Video.
