Jill Stein on ‘Peace Offensive’: ‘ISIS Is Not About to Launch a Major Attack Against’ Us

RUSH EXCERPT:

"And we have a track record now of fighting terrorism. Not only ISIS but Al Qaeda before that and the Taliban before that. This track record is not looking so. Good we have spent $6 trillion, according to a recent Harvard study when you include the costs, the ongoing costs of health care for our wounded veterans who deserve the highest care possible. $6 trillion, since 2001. We have killed a million people in Iraq alone which is not winning us the hearts and minds in the Middle East. We have lost tens of thousands of U.S. Soldiers who have been killed or severely wounded. 

"What have we got to show for this? Failed states, mass refugee migrations, and repeated terrorist threats that get worse with each cycle. So ISIS grew out of the catastrophe of Iraq. Al Qaeda in turn grew out of Afghanistan. And in fact, in Afghanistan, it was CIA and the sudden youis together who created the first jihadi movement with the mujahideen to make trouble with the soviet union. So this has been a very ill conceived plan that has been back firing madly against us. So what we say is that we need a new kind of offensive in the Middle East. "
