Lieberman: Increased Air Power, Drones, Special Ops Needed To Defeat ISIS

‘We just can’t walk away and expect that Islamic state , ISIS, won’t come back. It holds more land than al Qaeda ever did’

LIEBERMAN: "Thanks for the background because it is relevant. I have been critical of president Obama. I wish that he had gotten involved more in what was happening in Syria, frankly by doing just what he is doing now in Iraq, using U.S air power and giving better arms to the revolutionaries who were trying to get rid of a dictator, Assad. We’ve already made progress by doing what the president ordered to be done, in protecting the Yazidis, the Christians, the Americans who are there, but I am particularly impressed that the president has said that he is in this for the longer term, no deadline. And part of this is counter terrorism. We just can’t walk away and expect that Islamic state, ISIS, won’t come back. It holds more land than al Qaeda ever did and it has sworn to attack us in America the first chance they get."
