isis iraq airports
The front line with ISIS isn't just in Iraq and Syria, it's in Kennedy Airport and the Rio Grande. Border security is national security.
war army air
Using overwhelming air power to utterly and completely destroy ISIS. To put things in perspective, in the first Persian Gulf War, we launched roughly 1,100 air attacks a day. We carpet bombed them for 36 days, saturation bombing, after which our troops went in and in a day and a half mopped up what was left of the Iraqi army.
fighting air isis
We need to use overwhelming air power. We need to be arming the Kurds. We need to be fighting and killing ISIS where they are.
air isis cities
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.
isis air firsts
We need to do whatever is necessary to utterly defeat ISIS....We're not using our overwhelming air power. We're not arming the Kurds. Those need to be the first steps. And then we need to put whatever ground power is needed to carry it out.

I like John McCain. He can always be counted on for a good quote.
declare rests war
The authority to declare war rests in Congress, not in an out-of-control president.
bad federal government
The federal government has not been effective enough monitoring and surveilling bad guys.
I'm not serving in office because I desperately needed 99 new friends in the U.S. Senate.
cool hang ted
I'm not cool enough to hang out with any rock stars. Jay-Z doesn't come over to my house. I don't hang out with Ted Nugent.
block democrats house introduced passed prohibit senate stood took
I introduced legislation in the Senate to prohibit President Obama's amnesty. The House of Representatives stood up and led. It took the legislation I introduced and it passed it. But the Senate Democrats stood as one uniform block and said, 'No, we will do nothing to stop amnesty.'
agree foreign good rand
I'm a big fan of Rand Paul; he and I are good friends. I don't agree with him on foreign policy.
No major entitlement, once it has been implemented, has ever been unwound.
abroad centuries citizen federal natural
It's been federal law for over two centuries that the child of an American born abroad is a citizen - a natural born citizen.
