The Second Democratic Debate: Foreign Policy Face-Off
CNS News.
After a moment’s silence to honor the Paris terror attacks, the second Democratic debate has kicked off in Des Moines, Iowa, with national security and the Islamic State the focus of tonight’s event.
Watch CBS News’ livestream coverage here.
Update: 9.19 p.m. EST: Clinton disowns the role of the United States in the current Islamic State crisis: “I don’t think that the United States has the bulk of the responsibility.”
“Face the Nation” host and debate moderator John Dickerson’s first question goes to Clinton—did President Barack Obama underestimate the Islamic State threat?
“Isis is the leading threat of an international network, It cannot be contained it must be defeated,” Clinton said. Intent on downplaying the role of the U.S., Clinton commented: “I don’t think that the United States has the bulk of the responsibility. I really put that on Assad, and on Maliki, and on the region itself.”
To kick off the debate, Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley give their one-minute opening statements:
Sanders: “We’re shocked and disgusted by what we saw in Paris. This country will rid our planet of Isis. I travel the country talking to people and they say the economy is rigged. Campaign finance is corrupt. Join the political revolution.”
Clinton: “Our prayers are with the people of France. But that is not enough. We need to have a resolve that will bring the world together to root out the kind of radical jihadist ideology that motivates organizations like Isis. I will be laying out in detail what I think we need to do. To do a better job of coordinating efforts against the scourge of terrorism.”
O’Malley: My heart goes out to the people of France in this moment of loss. Parents and sons and daughters. We must remember this. This is a new face of conflict and warfare. We must anticipate these threats. It requires new thinking and fresh leadership. As a mayor and governor I thought of the threat of a surprise attack every day.”
