Gen. Hertling Slams Trump’s Plan to Beat ISIS: His Plan Is ‘Laughable and Dangerous’

CABRERA: “Iraqis have to get responsible about it first.” 
HERTLING: “Exactly.” 
CABRERA: “Let's talk about Trump. He has a simple strategy. Listen.”

TRUMP: “Take the oil away. I take their money away. I think their source of money away.”
CUOMO: “How do you take the oil?” 
TRUMP: “Make sure that Saudi Arabia, and by the way, Iran, which gives plenty of money to ISIS, believe it or not, Iran is funneling money into ISIS, too. Iraq is going to Iran like I predicted in 2004.” 
CUOMO: “So, how do you do it? You put troops on the ground?” 
TRUMP: “I would go in and take the oil and I put troops to protect the oil. I would absolutely go in and I take the money source away. Believe me, they would start to wither and they would collapse.”

CABRERA: “General Hertling, I have to remind our viewers that Trump has once said that he is a better general than you are. That being said, could his plan work?” 
HERTLING: “Well, as he has said, he is a better general than I. So, as a military man, he knows that all plans have to be feasible, credible and practical. The plan that he's concocting right now doesn't meet any one of those categories. And, in fact, I would say, it is -- it does meet a category of laughable and dangerous. There are people around the world are listening to this and not quite understanding what is going on in America with a guy that's suggesting we just bomb and send troops in to steal the oil. It's just not a good suggestion politically.” 
CABRERA: “All right. General Mark Hertling, thank you so much for your time this morning, we do appreciate it.”
