Fiorina: US Must Be Ready To Use Force Against Russia In Syria
Daily Caller ^ | 10/2/15 | RACHEL STOLTZFOOS

Posted on 10/02/2015 11:43:48 AM PDT by jimbo123

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said the U.S. “must be prepared” to shoot down Russian jets in Syria, if that’s what it takes to protect U.S.-backed rebels fighting Assad.

“I believe we must tell the Russians that we will conduct, we will secure a no-fly zone around anti-Assad rebel forces that we’re supporting,” Fiorina said on Fox News Wednesday night.

“Does that mean we might use force against Russian jets?” host Sean Hannity asked.

“Well, hopefully not,” Fiorina replied. “Hopefully, if we are signaling clearly to the Russians our intention, it will not come to that. But if it does come to that, I think we must be prepared.”

I agree...we need to stay out of it....now that we’ve totally screwed up most of the rest of the ME. Europe is being overrun thanks to the Obama and I can’t help but think he’s happy about this. In fact he’s so happy that he’s planting some more of them here.

Trump is right again...these are young strong men..why aren’t they fighting for their country? Obviously the answer is they are infiltrating for Islam.

Are these people nuts? These “Rebels” have proven worthless-—They have been fighting for years—now many help ISIS. Best we stay out. Or.....What? Should down some Russian Planes? They will open fire on out Carrier—maybe sink it? Attack US bases in Iraq? Ot hit use troops in Kabul? Do we really want WW III over Syria? Do we want nuke armed Bombers to take out San Diego, LA and SF?

Bibi and Trump said about the same thing this week. Let your enemies fight among themselves and then pick up the pieces when they’ve weakened each other. IOW “Get the H.out of their way!”

Remember Trump did a commercial for Bibi last time he ran for office.

I agree with Trump too, and he probably is not privy to any of the real intelligence which might be scarier.

We have no business being over there, now that we withdrew are soldiers. We have no options, and shooting down Russian planes is not an option.

I’ve been predicting that the Carter moment is about to take place here with this president. Something is going to happen which will hog tie him once and for all, like it did Carter. It will show his incompetence, his weakness, his cowardice. It will not be pretty.

In our 200+ years are presidents have not been cowards, because our nation are not cowards. We’ve never had a president cowtow to anyone.

There are no good options in the middle east, and now with Iran going nuclear... my God...yes...look what we’ve done.

Let Russian have Syria. It will be another Afghanistan for the Roosians.

We elected an anti-American - put the piece of dung in the WH and AF1 and gave him a pen and a phone. Who couldn’t see this coming except for his most useful idiots?

I wonder how many blacks regret standing in line for hours to vote for this disaster just because he has more color in his skin? How many think about this when their kids are shot, when they sign up for disability because their unemployment has run out, etc. Those Obama phones weren’t actually free..I wonder how many now realize the price was too high.

According to Mark Levin he has very little on his daily schedule so I suppose he is just coasting unless he sees an opportunity to rabble rouse some more.

If I said what I really thought...well I can’t.

Rule #1:
Do not ever go to war with another nuclear power.

Rule #2:
Do not allow crazy f&cks to obtain nuclear weapons. (Like N Koea and Iran)

Why? Because BOOM.

Why? To protect different terrorists?

They did not tell us not to fly the planes. They told us we should coordinate or risk shooting at each other.

Why does Russia have less right than we do to try and fix the problem? We are clearly failing and all of Europe is having to deal with an insane refugee problem and the threat of income terrorists among those refugees. Someone must step up to the plate who has intentions of winning.

I do not see how we should attack Russia because Obama likse the terrorists they are killing better than the other terrorists. I think the deadbeat non-reactors over here may finally stand up and fight Obama.

Right now Obama is spewing major hatred toward Russia. He is persuading few. I think he might really go off the deep end on this issue.

Snarly, STFU. You obviously have been talking with the establishment and especially McCain. Sorry but starting a war with Russia is not the same as Libya

She only says that because she knows that she won't be humping the boonies.

Where is Iran in this? Aren’t they with Russia? Wouldn’t we be taking on Russia AND its allies?

"Carly has Juan as an advisor?"

Clearly. And I'm not joking.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were in cahoots.

Not true. They told us to stop flights and remove all ground troops.

...Ms. Fiorina’s official title is chairwoman of the Republican National Committee’s “Victory ’08” committee dedicated to electing Mr. McCain as president, and she is typically described as an economic adviser to the candidate. To some extent, she is. But Mr. McCain’s campaign advisers say her real role within their testosterone-heavy circle matters more: A high-profile female face for a candidate whose support among women lags substantially behind that of his Democratic rivals...
