Amid conflicting reports about Moscow targeting U.S.-alllied groups in Syria, GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said late Wednesday that she backs military readiness against Russian forces.
“I believe we must tell the Russians that we will conduct [and] we will secure a no-fly zone around anti-Assad rebel forces that we’re supporting,” she said on Fox News’s "Hannity."
“Does that mean we might use force against Russian jets?” host Sean Hannity then asked. “Well, hopefully not,” Fiorina responded. "Hopefully, if we are signaling clearly to the Russians are intention, it will not come to that.”
“But if it does come to that, I think we must be prepared,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO added.

She getting military advice from Ashley Wilkes?
No current candidate should say anything! They don’t have access to current intelligence, nor are they being updated by anyone at State or DoD. Carly is stuck on stupid.
The option of using force in any way against Putin and the Russian Federation in any way will not even exist until some time after the Current Regime has departed from the Oval Orifice.
It would take a while to purge the upper ranks of the military of the politically-correct and experiment-minded officers and civilian administrators, and simultaneously, gear up the weapons modernization and deployment plans now gathering dust in some file cabinet or data base.
Syria will only be a milepost back there somewhere in relation to where the world shall be in 2017.
Was she married to General Wesley Clark at some point in her past?
Yes, if necessary.
If we’re clearly prepared to use it, we diminish the likelihood that we’d ever have to.
We need to reconstitute our armed forces and project a willingness to assist our allies. This is missing under Obama’s administration. Our SOS Kerry is even weaker and less competent than Hillary was and that is weak indeed. We now project the image that we won’t help ourselves let alone assist our enemies.
2 calls the first day in office.
One is to Iran
the other to her good friend BB. She is working for Israel...that is where the money is.
Neither side in Syria is worth helping (except just enough to make sure they go on killing each other for many, many years.)
“Getting rid of Assad will create an even bigger power vacuum in the Middle East.
It’s more urgent to get rid of ISIS than Assad.”
Do we actually have a strategy?
We help Iran get the bomb.
We help the Saudi’s against Assad (Iran’s ally).
We help overthrow distasteful governments with no plan for a stable successor (Libya).
Putin is a Russian nationalist and wants to control the Ukraine and Mideast oil. He seems to have a strategy. What’s ours?
Well at least Carly now has a use for those defective printers HP produced during her tenure there as CEO. She can carpet bomb the Russkies with them.
Does not a CINC make.
The woman is box o' rocks stupid.
Armed with a single M2 .50 caliber Browning, this much feared naval vessel carries up to 30 rounds of full cardboard jacketed paper bag piercing ammunition. It is the first in an entirely new naval architecture class -- technically, “clitoral” (not to be confused with “littoral”) -- being pushed on the Pentagon by the defense minded wussies in the Obama Administration as a cost-saving measure. If you look closely, you can see the heavy-duty seat restraint which prevents the helmsman/gunner shown here – Seaman 4th Class Kenneth “Kamakazi” Kowalski – from leaping from the vessel prior to engaging the enemy. The 12 V trolling motor – which lacks a reverse function -- propels this sophisticated craft forward at a top speed of 4 knots. Reverse travel – at approximately 35 knots -- is achieved by firing the Browning.
The no-bid contract to build 300 of these fearsome warships was awarded to the Obama-Soros-Emanuel Shipbuilding and Stormdoor Manufacturing (formerly General Dynamics) and will be administered by trusted Obama associate, Chicago Mayor and former Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel who commented that, at $12 million each, they are a bargain. Constructed exclusively at the company’s facility in Kenya with major subcomponent production (rivets and miscellaneous fasteners) at the company’s Harlem and Skokie plants. Delivery and sea trials of 100 of these began in 2013 with the remaining 200 to follow as soon as the subcontractors’ funds are safely in the contractor's numbered Swiss account.
Now we know who’s funding Carly’s campaign, it’s the Saudis.
The botox is strong, in that one.
Seriously, you first, Fiorina. That’s all we need - a secretarial chicken hawk threatening Putin.
She is a complete joke. Please back away from the levers of power, you psycho-b*tch.
I’m all for staying out of the muzzie’s business, unless they start flying jets into US buildings. Then you go in briefly, flatten the country, exit, and let them rebuild. Oh, and all muzzies are banned from coming into this country, either by immigration or by visa. That’s my plan.
What a maroon as Bugs would say. Does she want nuclear winter?
WHAT “force”? Odungo has gutted the army, replaced soldiers with social experiments, and removed any generals who were more than armchair quarterbacks. In effect, he has lifted the bar across the door of the fort, to let the enemy (his TRUE constituents) in. TRAITOR!!
Is she insane? Might as well elect McCain
