Unfortunately scientists have been demonized. The most intelligent people in the world that want to save human lives are demonized. How did that happen? Oh, yeah, money.
ISIS and Late Breaking News
President Obama and his statements today.
Iran.
Sanders - I think we have to do is more aggressively as we can to normalize relations with that country knowing we disagree about some aspects of that country in their support of terrorists. I believe we are seeing a thaw in our relationship with Iran. I don't think we should open an embassy in Iran tomorrow, but, we should bring better relations.
Clinton - she was responsible for sanctions put in place in negotiations - we have to be sure they are going to go along with the agreement and then we have to go after them about their other issues such as their involvement in Syria
Ground Forces
Clinton - The iraqi army is beginning to show more ability - disrupt supply chain of foreign fighters and money and internet space - slow down and end the carnage in Syria
Sanders - the USA has to learn the lesson of Iraq and getting our young people involved in the middle east again would be an unmitigated disaster - King Abdullah of Jordan states they need to put their own troops on the ground along with other countries in the region to protect their countries.
O'Malley - we need to reduce the threats before it rises to this level - we don't use the words in our debates the Republicans do "Boots on the Ground" - basically it dehumanizes our soldiers.
Sanders - opposed the invasion into Iraq - there wasn't any kind of thought about what happens after the invasion - "You have incredibly wealthy countries in that region......They need to put some skin in the game and stop asking the USA to do it."
Planned Missile Strikes against Damascus
I think that is an unnecessary question. Chemical weapons came out of Syria. What line in the sand didn't occur?
Credibility? Ask Assad.
Sanders - Syria quagmire - Assad is a butcher of his own people - beyond disgusting - first priority in the region - getting rid of ISIS and then working with Iran and Russia to bring Assad's methods to an end.
O'Malley - the USA does not have human intelligence to know what happens after there are actions by the military. Don't need to repeat ISIS.
Russia
Clinton - What we got a new START treaty reducing nuclear weapons, signed on to sanctions in regard to Iran, there were many issues solved because of the RESET button.
Currently Putin has a mixed relationship with the Russian people. I think the USA has to be careful in what we are seeking. The Europeans have to be more willing to stand up and be more united to prevent a more aggressive stance by Russia.
Tech Companies
Privacy vs security
O'Malley - warrants should be required when privacy is at risk - collaborative leadership with Silicon Valley - we have rights to be secure in our homes and we should require warrants - we need to develop juris prudence to address issues of security.
Lone wolves
Sanders - I voted against the US Patriot Act - it isn't the government we only have to worry about - I agree. There is enormous disregard to Americans in the degree Wall Street digs through personal information for their profits. The American people privacy and constitutional rights are important and more important than anyone wants to address.
Basically, Sanders has similar views as O'Malley.
We never got to lone wolves.
