I hope by the time I am president that we will have pushed ISIS out of Iraq.
I close with two words, ‘Kill ISIS!’ God bless you all!
If you look at ISIS, General MacArthur, and General Patton, they're spinning in their graves.
It's not a world war yet, but we're at war, because ISIS has declared war on us.
You would carpet bomb where ISIS is, not a city, but the location of the troops. You use air power directed - and you have embedded special forces to direction the air power. But the object isn't to level a city. The object is to kill the ISIS terrorists.
I assure my fellow citizens that the vast majority of Muslims experience the same fear they do. ISIS and Al Qaeda are my enemies, too. Most of the people killed by these groups have been Muslim.
Together, leading the world, the U. S. A. will rid our planet of this barbarous organization called ISIS.
One great lesson from history we need to keep on re-learning. It is that sometimes your adversaries tell you exactly what they're going to do. How many times did [Osama] bin Laden say prior to 911 that he was coming after the U. S. ? ISIS made clear that when they established their caliphate in Iraq and Syria, they were coming after the United States too.
It's a response from Donald Trump [to the Pope]. It says, "If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS. . . " Their primary thing. . . You've seen what they've done all over the Middle East. Their primary goal is to get to the Vatican. That would be their ultimate trophy. They want to do what they won't to all of these magnificence artifacts and all of the beautiful museums that they've totally destroyed all over the Middle East, right?
First, I would say, is ideology. I have never spoken to any member of these groups, not just ISIS, but also Al Qaeda, Shabab, etc. , who wasn't driven by the ideology. Beyond that, a lot of people are wounded in some way - they've fallen out of society in some manner. All of the ones I've spoken to seem to have veered off course from lives we consider acceptable and successful. Of course, there are others like Osama bin Laden, who was a wealthy and successful businessperson.
