Trump Says He Will Declare War Against Is If Elected

CLEVELAND (US), July 18 (Bernama) -- Republican presidential Donald Trump has said if elected he will "declare war" on the Islamic State (IS), but would send "very few" US troops on the ground to combat the dreaded terror outfit, reports the Press Trust of India (PTI).

"It is war. By the way, it is war," Trump told '60 Minute' of the CBS News in an interview.

"We have people that want to wipe us out. We're gonna declare war against IS. We have to wipe out IS," he said in response to a question.

"I am going to have very few troops on the ground. We're going to have unbelievable intelligence, which we need; which, right now, we don't have. We don't have the people over there," he explained.

"We are going to have surrounding states and, very importantly, get NATO involved because we support NATO far more than we should, frankly, because you have a lot of countries that aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing. And we have to wipe out IS," he said, adding that he would send "very little" US troops on the ground.

Joining Trump in the interview his vice presidential running mate Mike Pence said this is the kind of leadership that is needed in the US.

"This is the kind of leadership that America needs and it begins with deciding to destroy the enemies of our freedom," he said.

Trump claimed the US under his administration would get rid of IS, big league.

"We are going to get rid of them fast. And we're going to use surrounding states. We're going to use NATO, probably. And we're going to declare war. It is war. When the World Trade Centre comes tumbling down, with thousands of people being killed," he said.

When pointed out that Pence also voted for war in Iraq as did his Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Trump said the Indiana Governor is entitled to make mistake once in a while, but the former Secretary of State is not.



How the feck did he get this far.

Martha Oakley lost again in 2014 to Charlie Baker in the gubernatorial election.

There's a fair amount of socially moderate, fiscal conservatives there. Romney was a two term governor. Plus, the Kennedys are an institution unto themselves there.

That's not as weird though. You more than others know how strong the Republicans are in state politics. That Senate race was a shock and rightly so.

Who of the Kennedy's are left anyway? Caroline?

That was a shock, but Brown was also part of the TP crowd. In 2010. And MA-ers aren't afraid of voting in Republicans. Hope they learnt their lesson though. That supermajority-killing vote was pretty damn pivotal.

As for Kennedys

All those interns belong to his office?

If not, why is he catching the flack here? If they do, then I'm not sure a "lol crowd so white" is productive.
 
I see a token asian guy in the 3rd row...

Was watching Donald/Pence interview for 60 minutes. You when you see someone is about to make a mistake, but you don't say anything, because you hope it'll be a learning experience? That's how I feel right now.
 
This will be a hot mess - from half the GOP establishment boycotting, to Trump featuring his entire family giving speeches as opposed to actual Republicans, to the potential for violence outside - and that's all before Trump himself says something stupid.
 
Roger Ailes removed by Murdoch.

Will be interesting to see if Fox still gives Drumpf the platform freely in the coming weeks after this.
 
Can't say I'm surprised - both of Murdoch's sons have loathed Ailes for years and it seems they finally convinced the old man to can him after all the recent allegations came out.
 
Now Trump's motorcade has been in an accident in New York en route to the airport, so he may not be able to introduce his wife tonight.
