to work with our allies in the region to create our own route for safe passage and then to protect people in those areas including with the no fly zone the plan is a departure from Obama's policy and Syria he said it would take a large military commitment and money to carve out a safe zone Obama also said establishing and protecting no fly zones risks a confrontation6/32
with Russia Obama secretary defense however believes no fly zones are viable and part of the overall plan to get rid of Basheer outside number of different proposal been made but I don't want to add that I think it did focus on right now I is the one secretary Kerry's trying to promote namely a no fly zone for the Russians and the Syrians who were attacking the7/32

all the kind of serious negotiation necessary to bring the conflict to an end and go forward on a political trap the number of Republicans led by senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham have demanded a no fly zone when it comes to Syria when trump says this aside to stay it tells me has no idea what that means for the region Israel isn't great threat from Iran10/32
Iran is arming Hezbollah with precision guided missiles a trip from Israel was very unnerving to say the least so the Syrian civil war is having an effect throughout the region Mr trump when you set aside should stay you need to rethink that as a secretary Clinton she says she wants a no fly zone in Syria that is a great step in the right direction well it11/32

listen Mister president there's no fly zone in Syria you fly in it applies to you and yes we would shoot down the planes of Russian pilots if in fact they were stupid enough to think that this president was the same feckless weakling that the president we have in the oval office is right now military leaders on the other hand have reservations what about the option of15/32
controlling the air space so that that barrel bombs cannot be dropped what but all in all our options where you think of that options are %HESITATION right now senators for us to control all of the air space in Syria would require us to go to war against Syria in Russia that's a pretty fundamental decision that certainly I'm not gonna make Hawaii Democrat Taussig a bard also16/32
