Sanders: Normalize relations with Iran. But we shouldn’t open an embassy “tomorrow.” Supported the nuclear negotiations.
Clinton: Support the agreement. I was instrumental in getting the sanctions imposed that got them to negotiations table. We should carefully watch them. One good day over 36 years. Go after them on their other bad behavior in the region. In terms of dealing with ISIS: no ground troops. Should go after ISIS but try to end the carnage in Syria.
Sanders: Incredibly complicated. I think Obama is doing the right thing. The nightmare is not to have learned the lesson of Iraq. Unmitigated disaster to get young people into the quagmire there. Cites King Abdullah in Jordan who wants ISIS fought by Muslim troops.
O’Malley: Obama right. Special ops advisers, yes, but need a new strategy and new alliances to prevent these things rising in the first place.
