Trump on ISIS: 'I would knock the hell out of them,' and then 'I'd take the oil for our country'
Business Insider/Reuters ^ | 08/10/2015 | Susan Heavey

Posted on 08/10/2015 1:48:25 PM PDT by nhwingut

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."

Facism is a governmental system led by a DICTATOR having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.


WRONG thats a form of Fascism.. there can many forms.. LIKE CHINA.. RUSSIA.. you read the words.. missed the spirit of it..

"So, if Iran is going to take over the oil, I say we take over the oil first by hammering out a cost-sharing plan with Iraq. If we protect and control the oil fields, Iraq will get to keep a good percentage of its oil—not to mention its independence from Iran—and we will recoup some of the cost of liberating the Iraqis and also pay back the nations that fought with us in the war."

You might try reading the entire thing rather than cherry picking words that fit your agenda.

“It’s UN-Constitutional to STEAL another country’s assets..”
ROTFLMAO !!!! That’s a doozie.


Actually it’s un constitutional for the federal givernment to steal it’s own citizens assets..

Let alone another country’s.. the fed. gov’t is NOT “THE GOV’T”.. it is one of our three gov’ts..
Total revenue to the fed should be gifts from the States..

My Dad always told me “you can’t reason with unreasonable people” so I guess I will leave it at that and wish you goodnight.

That’s not fascism - rather that is taking it to the enemy and taking no prisoners. If he were lucky enough to get the nomination and actually win the presidency, then I’d support Trump 110% to wipe ISIS off the map - and nuke every other Islamic jihadist enclave on the planet with them.

This is an us or them contest. There is no such thing as “radical or moderate” Islam - there is only Islam. A totalitarian political ideology that is no more religious than was Nazism. Islam is not a religion. You only need to actually read the Qumran and the Hadith to understand the true goals of Mohammad and his phony religion. believe me when I state that nuking these people into oblivion is the only logical response to their existence. It’s is no different than stomping out a plague that is 100 percent fatal. You don’t discuss and debate the matter, you just get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I see. AND If he turned Traitor like Obama..
by saying one thing as candidate and doing other things as President what would you DO?....

BUZZ.. it’s too late then........... it’s a matter of TRUST...
Trump IS simply NOT TRUST WORTHY...

He’s republican this week, whispering into conservative ears WHAT they want to hear..
AND THEY..... are “like dogs” begging for more bacon bits..

CURS so beaten down by Obama and the liberals..
They are GLAD to hear anything remotely reasonable..

Sure theres Ted Cruz saying the right things and has been doing the right STUFF... AND IS TRUST WORTHY..

BUT they go with Trump’s “EAR SPITTAL” like IT WAS TRUE..
With absolutely NO REASON to believe it is not BULL SPERM..
When it very well may be.. and probably is..

Ted Cruz is the real deal.. proven.. confirmed.. tested..
AND Trump........... SIMPLY............. ISN’T..

How is it fascist to decidedly go after and wipe out a group that perpetrates and further advocates the wanton slaughter of every human being who does not carry their brand? These idiots, and those of their ilk, have declared to rid the entire world of all things and persons not Islam. Are you deaf, dumb and blind, or just obstinately stupid?

George S. Patton would call you a cowardly ass. My guess is that you are another isolationist, hiding behind the Constitution.

By your measure: Wilson, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, GHW Bush, GW Bush, and Clinton were also “FASCISTS” ...

Germany did not attack us (not in WWI nor WWII - at least not until we began sending armaments to their enemies).

North Korea did not attack us. North Vietnam did not attack us. Grenada did not attack us, Croatia did not attack us, and Iraq did not attack us.

I guess we should also return most of the American Southwest to Mexico, or Spain, or France - depending upon which treaty you wish to abrogate. Perhaps we should just give it all back to the Great Britain ... or rather to the Indians.

So, basically, sir - you have a very selective memory.

In short - you are totally full of crap.

To: Does so

Then we would immolate them with a massive nuke strike. I have no problem with slaughtering Muslims by the billions. In fact, Islam should be wiped off the face of the Earth, stomped out of existence, and every Mosque leveled to the ground. It’s called “total war” - it generally works every time it is put into practice. You don’t just defeat your enemy, you erase him and his culture from existence.

That does not make Trump a Fascist.. other things do..
Business merging with givernment does...

IF.... you think Trump is a conservative.... he isn’t..
Isn’t even close... right wing maybe.. I say maybe..
He isn’t PROVEN.. not tested... cannot be confirmed..

He is a an unproven quantity politically .. takes FAITH to believe in him..
Especially unproven conservative wise..

WHEN....... we have Ted Cruz who IS proven.. tested and confirmed to stand for all the things conservatives want AND need..

Yet.. some go for TRUMP.. a completely mystery.. except for what he says.. spews.. and vomits..
Some conservatives are like baby birds.. natural fed by vomit..

Others are NOT... want clean political food.. (metaphorically)..

Whats your diet.. what tastes good to you?...
I’m for Ted Cruz... I think little birds are cute tho..

OK, you’re a “Cruz guy” - and by your measure Cruz is not a FASCIST ...

Have you considered that his wife is the CEO of the Houston branch of Goldman Sachs?

You know ... The global banking & investment firm that has itself leveraged to the nth degree with credit default swaps (guaranteeing against default on the debt of other nations) and derivatives (a ponzi scheme involving the multiple bundling of unfunded risks)?

GS - the same entity that has its agents (tentacles) in every department of the US Government. The revolving door between the White House and wall street ...

Oh, but the “federal” government, in bed with a regime of rogue global banksters, would not involve FASCISM! Oh heaven’s no! That would never happen! ... ‘Cause, as we all know (after being told a billion times), Cruz & Co. are as pure as the wind-driven snow (job)!

Yup. He has everything we need, except the media savvy to break the MSM blockade against him. The one thing he needs to actually get elected....

YES.. I’ve considered it and it bothers me...
BUT not as much as Trump bothers me...

I trust no one.. not even Cruz...
I still remember what was done to Barry Goldwater..
AND Joseph McCarthy..

Currently I have zero other choice.. than Cruz...
Even Trump looks better than the others..

You have to go with somebody... I’m left with Cruz..
Course I could learn Chinese.. if we’re totally SCREWED..

And to be honest we may be...
It could way too late to STOP THE Fascism...
America is in transition from socialism to fascism NOW..

You do know both Russia and China have slowly moved from socialism to Fascism.. don’t you?..

Both being different flavors of the same thing..

He can BUY that when needed.. current Trump is running interference blocking..
But time will come for serious media savvy..
Hopefully Cruz has connections..
