Scott Walker: To Stop Islamic Terrorism, We Need To ‘Unleash the Power’ of Our Military

‘I talked to a general early this year who said airstrikes can be effective, but right now, they’re like a drizzle; he said we need to have a thunderstorm there’

TODD: "We've tried toppling leaders in Iraq and Libya. We've tried drone strike. That seems to create more terrorists. We've pulled back. We've gone in. Nothing seems to stop this issue of Islamic terrorism. What is it, what are you going to do differently that is somehow going to solve this problem?"
WALKER: "Well, different from this president and from the policy that Hillary Clinton was involved with is lifting the political restrictions in the person already there. I'll give you a good example. We have people in Iraq right now, in the military, over 3,000 troops. It's not a question of sending more in. It's about empowering them to unleash the power of the United States military.
We have people right there as air controllers who could literally draw in airstrikes with absolute precision. They can't do that. That's particularly difficult because I talked to a general early this year who said airstrikes can be effective, but right now, they're like a drizzle. He said, "We need to have a thunderstorm there."
