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."

Much better strategy than what we have now.
I don’t see how it is fascist to devistate your enemy. Maybe Trump shouldn’t be so bombastic, but no other candidate seems to have anything other than more of the same. Back when we invaded Iraq, Bush was being attacked in a number if different ways, including saying he only went into Iraq for their oil. I recalling saying/writing multiple times that we should take their oil to pay for the war. I think there is a strong argument in leaving much of the ME in poverty.
Its a little over the top, he has to be a little more specific, it sounds too much like lets conquer the mid east and take their oil. What he is trying to say, is, American Lives Matter, if they are willing die for you, you have to come up with the dough to pay for their service and all the expenses that come with it.(Transportation, building, support,food and quarters) The Media will do all they can to trip up Trump, even alter his words and verbal thoughts to fit their agenda.
There was nothing racist about Mussolini’s Fascism, until the Nazis forced him into it.
I have followed Cruz since he became a Senator. I admire him. The H1 issue was it for me. Foreign workers have devastated the Automotive Design & Engineering in this country. Especially Detroit. I will not vote against my way of making a good living whomever they may be, or there party.
Trump is my guy for now. He speaks to many Americans regardless of Party affiliations. I haven't had so much fun, watching an election primary so much since Reagan v Carter.
Seems most are so stupid they do not know what Fascism “IS”... most.. even Socialism or Communism... -OR- that communism “IS” socialism..
Which means they are Goats lead to the slaughter.. often bleating like sheep..
We need to protect our enemies so they can kill our families

WHEN Givernment and Business MERGE.. it’s called Fascism..
you know... like in China.. China moved from Socialism to Fascism... as did Russia..
The difference between Socialism and Fascism is REMOTE.. subtle.. if any at all..
WOOO! Look, Cruz handlers bought him a motorhome with someone else’s money.
About time someone shouted that out. Go Donald.
Really? You got to Facist on that? Let me ask you, do you write questions for “debates”? If so, I think there’s a network for you.
Now there is a conservative policy we can all get behind
Conquer other lands and claim their resources as our own. I guess W forgot the last part. But we have to support him because he yells at the media and he is in first place 14.5 months before the election.
I would wager that Trump would use “I and me” in his presidential speeches as much as Obama does. Narcissists tend to be their own biggest fans
Actually, Rand was more right. Problem 1 is we are financing them. Problem 2 is what Ted is hammering with the bad deal with Iran. Trump is in the neighborhood of being right. But that doesn’t mean he’s walked through the door of the right house. Things are more complex than that.
Trump is EXACTLY a Fascist.. not kind of.. tending to be or almost...
BUT he’s promoting Fascism completely.. in your FACE....
Mussolini’s speech’s were EXACTLY the same.. in the same kind of situation..
Trump’s smart he knows IF THEY will not go for the democrats socialism(as he does) MAYBE THEY will go for Fascism..
Most all will never know he did it either..
SINCE THEY do not know what either socialism or fascism actually “IS”...
Pretty smart actually.. democrats are providing cover by faux attacking him... and the RINOs are clueless else they wouldn’t BE RINOs..
God our side is so full of pussies.
God our side is so full of pussies.
Public school just brain washed the shit out of them...
My tolerance tho is getting close to it’s limits.. jeese..
yes, because “take their oil” was such winner that the Fox News people didn’t want it to be heard...
