Clinton Details A More Aggressive US Plan for Middle East, Terrorism
November 19, 2015 By Kevin Baron
The
Democratic front-runner calls for an ‘intelligence surge,’ increased
special operations, and more of nearly every U.S. tool to fight
terrorism.
Less than one week after the Paris attacks, Hillary Clinton called for intensifying the U.S.
attack on terror groups by launching an “intelligence surge,” deploying
more special operations forces to Iraq and Syria, directly arming Kurd
and Sunni fighters, and establishing a Syrian no-fly zone to undergird U.S. efforts at peace talks.
Delivered Thursday at New York’s Council on Foreign Relations,
Clinton’s detailed plan distinguished herself from her 2016 presidential
campaign rivals, whose post-Paris pronouncements have consisted
generally of sound bites (or even inaccuracies), and from Obama, whom critics have hammered as too passive.http://www.defenseone.com/politics/2015/11/clinton-lays-out-comprehensive-more-aggressive-us-plan-middle-east-terrorism/123855/?oref=defenseone_today_nl
