Both the Democratic front-runner and the Republican rising star think the US should declare and enforce a no-fly zone in Syria. Military experts say it could set up a showdown with Russia that would be best to avoid.
Heres a surprise Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and Republican rising star Carly Fiorina agree on something big. Both think the US should declare and enforce a no-fly zone in Syria to protect civilians and US-backed rebel fighters.
Former Secretary of State Clintons pronouncement on this emphasized its humanitarian aspects. I personally would be advocating now for a no-fly zone and humanitarian corridors to try to stop the carnage on the ground and from the air, she said in an interview with WHDH TV in Boston.
Former Hewlett Packard CEO Fiorinas words on the subject were more about fighting. She told Fox Newss Sean Hannity that the US needs to secure a no-fly zone around US-backed anti-Assad rebel forces.
This is a tricky maneuver, its a dangerous maneuver, but its a maneuver we must undertake, said Fiorina.

Carly Fiorina: Its time for the U.S. to impose a no-fly zone around American-backed rebels in Syria

Enforcing a no-fly zone against third world ragheads is one thing. Trying to enforce it against the Ruskis? Explains why the first Russian systems were modern anti-aircraft defenses.
Kind of makes the case for not electing a woman, doesn’t it?
insane! they’re both stark raving nutz!
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day.
STOP TRYING TO START WORLD WAR III, YOU STUPID BITCH.
Carly, thanks for the heads up about wanting to start WWIII. This isn’t Lucent or HP you’re setting up for destruction, nobody’s going to give you a golden parachute, and enforcing a no fly zone against Russian aircraft isn’t quite like doing it against Saddam. Doubling down on Obama’s and McCain’s follies is just plain stupid.
This option simply isn’t viable. The U.S will have no or little control over Syria and Iraq.
The question is who’s going to get Iraq? Certainly not the Iraqis. It’s Iran or Russia, Turkey a distant 3. That whole swath from Iran, Iraq, Syria Lebanon is in jeopardy.
Saudi Arabia will remain a stalwart but for how much longer? Egypt will be reluctant to deal with the U.S because of betrayal of the secular government there.
We need to pick up the pieces and work on our Southern border and our Southern friends.
Forgawdsakes, russia is not the enemey, assad is not the enemy. Why are people so eager to become ISIS’s air force
“Fiorina: US Must Be Ready To Use Force Against Russia In Syria”
Hell, why not. The world hasn’t seen a world war in a long time. Plus, by getting this next one over sooner rather than later, we won’t have to worry about another for a few hundred more years. After all, I’m just a silver-linings kind of guy!
Let us hope that this crashes the crazy woman’s poll numbers.
Starting a war with Russia? Over Syria? When they are shooting at the real threat, ISIS?
True madness.
I am beginning to believe that we are backing ISIS through the “Free Syrian Army” and that these creeps are worried that someone might actually start doing real damage to the “Caliphate.”
She is just straight nuts.
She has that Marshall Applewhite look. I think that’s what Trump was getting at.
I believe Rubio and others are saying the same thing. Just nuts.
There is no such thing as U.S. backed Anti-Assad rebels.
The Americans do not have a dog in this fight. Never have.
That “someone” is Saudi Arabia and they own these moronic politicians. ISIS is made up of their sons.
“the Republican rising star”
The leghumping media is really pushing her.
Anybody willing to fight Russia for the “Free Syrian Army” is to crazy to be elected.
What do Cruz, Walker and Trump say?
