Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush wants President Barack Obama to "unleash the military" on ISIS in an effort to defeat them.
"A strategy would be how do we mobilize support for the remnants of the Syrian Free Army, and it might require combat troops to inspire an international effort," Bush said on CNN's "New Day,"reports Politico. "I would let the military commanders give the commander in chief options rather than tell them what you want to hear. And so having - not having gotten those options, I can't tell you if we are going to have boots on the ground but certainly, a more expanded role for the special operators would be essential. And being more effective in strikes as it is relates to the air,"
"My gosh, that's not how you fight a war. You need to destroy their abilities to garner money," Bush said, referring to an incident last week in which the military dropped leaflets asking oil truck drivers to abandon their vehicles before airstrikes against them began. Bush opined that Obama just "doesn't have the will" to fight ISIS, according to the Sun Times.
"We need to unleash the military in unison with our partners in Europe and the Middle East to be effective in this regard," Bush added, according to the New York Daily News.
Bush also took a dig at Donald Trump and said, "Look, Donald Trump says these things to prey on people's fears, their anger, their frustration with Washington. He's quite effective at it, but he doesn't know what he's talking about and he's not a serious leader," referring to Trump's recent comments on the 9/11 attacks, reports Sun Times.
