Rep. Peter King on US response to Paris attacks; How Ben Carson would combat terror threat
FOX News ^ | 11-15-15 | Chris Wallace

Posted on 11/15/2015 1:59:45 PM PST by smokingfrog

WALLACE: So what does this brutal attack in Paris tell us about the growing terror threat and how the U.S. needs to respond?

To discuss that, let's brings in Congressman Peter King, chair of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism.

Chairman King, what's the latest intel that you have received? Was it in fact ISIS? Were these homegrown terrorists? Or had they been trained and directed from Syria?

REP. PETER KING, R-NY, SELECT INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE: Chris, the picture is still not entirely clear. Having said that, though, it is clear it was ISIS. Whether or not it was out of a central command, or whether or not it was entirely homegrown, I think it was a combination of both.

I think French President Hollande is right on that. And also France has a special problem, because they've had up to 2,000 of their citizens have gone to Syria to fight alongside ISIS, and now they're working their way back into France.

Let me just say, Chris, I was listening to Ben Rhodes, what he said about the robust vetting about refugees is untrue. There's virtually vetting. There are no databases in Syria. There are no government records. We don't know who these people are. And when you meet with the people doing the vetting, they tell us that.

So, this is really -- they are rolling a dice here. We know that ISIS wants to bring in terrorists with these refugees. So, this --

(CROSSTALK)

WALLACE: Let me ask this directly. Are you saying that the president -- are you saying the president should suspend the idea of bringing in 10,000 refugees from Syria?

that’s why i dont watch fox or any talking heads anymore?

who gives a @#$@#$ what the answers are?

if we tortured ourselves with this bull#### analysis in the early 40s, we would have lost!!!

was it the nazis are just Germans?

was it a select few who backed the Pearl attack or just fanatics?

do the majority of Germans support the war?

#####!!!!!!

stop analyzing and blabbing and boring me to TEARS!!!!!!!!

just kill every mother @#$@#$ that whispers support. or even doesn’t, i dont care.

Like Michael Corleone said, He doesn’t feel like he has to kill everyone. Just his enemies. He wouldn’t even take the chance of leaving his weak minded brother alive. And YES, Fredo was forever a risk.

muslims are our enemies. kill them.

stop the hand wringing and the talking head @@@@ and kill!!!

that’s what’s done in a war.

Peter King sounds almost sane here. Is he feeling well? Did someone knock him out and have Rep. Steve King move his jaw and fake his voice?

Gentle Ben Carson was pathetic in his responses to Wallace. If I ever leaned toward him, I take it all back.

Carson is a fool. Obviously not stupid, but then the more intelligent a person is, the bigger fool he can be.

Carson and Hillary are on the same page - no fly zone - which means war with the Russians - so cleaver so smart where do we find these people? Under what rock, and how many have to be turned over to produce this crop of winners?

Wallace asked him something about what he would do if he established a no fly zone in Syria and a Russian plane violated it and we shot it down, and the Russians then shot down one of ours. Carson answered something about negotiations, talks, and no-fly means no fly. He just waffled all over the place.

He was about the same on his response to the Paris attacks and ISIS. Talks, being sure it was ISIS, blah, blah, blah. I give him a vote of “no confidence”!

WALLACE: But you’re talking about getting potentially into a shooting war with Russia over Syria?

CARSON: Well, if we established a no-fly zone and we make clear the rules, if they violate it, that’s why you have a no-fly zone. That’s the very definition of a no-fly zone. You can’t fly there.

I’m betting it was those damn muslims again. And yes, we need to quit importing them and throw out any already here.

Yes, the term that comes to mind is mental masturbation...we talk about things too much and nobody (except the bad guys) seem to do anything.
