Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Monday he supported the use of US ground troops to fight Islamic State militants in the Middle East.
Speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, the billionaire businessman said it would take American soldiers to target the militant group, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
"They have great money because they have oil," Trump said. "Every place where they have oil I would knock the hell out of them.
"I would knock out the source of their wealth, the primary sources of their wealth, which is oil," he told MSNBC. "And in order to do that, you would have to put boots on the ground. I would knock the hell out of them, but I'd put a ring around it and I'd take the oil for our country."

Blame Obama for what? Blame him because the Iraqi government was so corrupt that the couldn't hold their government together and because they turned their own army into a useless mob? Nothing was going to save Iraq from itself.
LOL!, he does have the face down!
What does that have with Trump being a Fascist?..
Missed your point... if you had one..
It is so disheartening how many conservatives are hitching their wagons to this clown. It’s a cult of personality.
Obama served Iraq up on silver platter to his Islamist allies.
OK...let’s try this again. Where in any of his books, or any of his recent announcements, campaign stops, etc., has he said that he would nationalize any industry or market?
Well knothead.. Trump wouldn’t national anything..
THE GIVERNMENT WOULD... the givernment is the dictator..
Like now under Obama..
jeese must I explain what socialism/fascism “IS”..
Socialists and Fascists USE THE GIVERNMENT to do the dirty work..
Like now in Washington D.C. except WORSE..
What does fascism have to do with anything Trump has said, promised, or done?
You're throwing out a label that is inappropriate to the target you're trying to pin it on. He's never said a word about nationalizing any U.S. industry. Unlike Zero, who's actually done it.
Your entire multi post rant on this thread fails on its basic premise.
Yeah it can get WORSE.. much worse..
What does fascism have to do with anything Trump has said, promised, or done?
Attack a population then steal their assets..
defeating their military is one thing.. attaching their assets for perpetuity is another..
You do know.. THATS WHAT FASCISM DOES... don’t you.?...
Ah!.. didnt think so..
Are you having a psychotic break? Sure reads like it.
No offense intended, but that is the some of the most convoluted, stark raving gibberish, I've seen around here in some time.
I don't know. Might be time to take a little break from all this. Seriously. Take care.
It's called, 'spoils of war'. It's an ancient concept, and quite valid in terms of warfare between nations.
Are you having a psychotic break? Sure reads like it.
Nope.. unless you think seeing Trump as a malefactor is psychotic..
actually I was for him not as prez but as candidate until I saw thru him..
Many see he is playing a game on conservatives.. some don’t..
A pretty game it is too... fooled me..
Conservative are presently for anything to get rid of Obama.. I’m not..
Not for just ANYTHING.. thats why I’m a Cruz guy..
Didn’t want go against Trump like this.. but seems too many conservatives are getting fooled.. I mean FOOLED..
It’s called, ‘spoils of war’. It’s an ancient concept, and quite valid in terms of warfare between nations.
Only thing about it is, it’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL..
Federal Givernment OVER REACH... Abberation.. Political RAPE..
Oh, yeah. The socialist draft dodger “would knock the hell out of them.” Everyone’s always “hitting” him, but he “hits back.” He’s learned feminist metaphors well. He’s a “hero” in his fantasies.
Oh I grasp it fine. If you’re a Trump supporter, you’re in following along quite nicely with the arrogance and trying to denigrate anyone personally who doesn’t fall in line and agree with you.
Although, please do feel free to elaborate beyond the cryptic personal denigration. Maybe I can learn something that I’ve missed along the way. But that ball is in your court as to whether you actually want to have an open dialogue or if you just want to hurl a few grenades and be secure in how superior and enlightened you are.
Exactly!
It’s actually laughable. All this facist nonsense.
Trump has some of the same mannerisms as Mussolini when he is on stage.
I second that, poster needs to explain.
I don’t disagree about the mechanism, but using that logic, it would not matter who is elected, then, is what you’re saying? So Ben Carson would be a fascist? Ted Cruz would be a fascist?
