You have countries like Saudi Arabia sitting right, sharing the border with Iraq which has the fourth largest defense budget in the world more than U.K., more than France. They have 200,000 soldiers in their army.

Ed, where are these guys? They have a major air force. You have Turkey sitting over there. If this becomes a war between the United States and ISIS, the West and the East Christianity and Islam, it`s a losing proposition. It is what ISIS wants.

This is, as I understand it, a war for the soul of Islam and if that is the case, the Muslim countries in that area have got to stand up and they have got to fight. They have got to provide the ground troops.
Should the United States, the U.K., France be supportive, provide weapons?
Yes, but should we be putting ground troops in there getting involved that what I`ve see as a quagmire, perpetual warfare in the Middle East, I think that that would be a disaster.

Can you imagine Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton speaking about the Middle East in this manner? If anything, Jeb Bush says he still would have authorized the invasion, even with everything we now know about the war.

The Middle East needs Senator Bernie Sanders, not a neoconservative Hillary Clinton
