Amid conflicting reports about Moscow targeting U.S.-alllied groups in Syria, GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said late Wednesday that she backs military readiness against Russian forces.

“I believe we must tell the Russians that we will conduct [and] we will secure a no-fly zone around anti-Assad rebel forces that we’re supporting,” she said on Fox News’s "Hannity."

“Does that mean we might use force against Russian jets?” host Sean Hannity then asked. “Well, hopefully not,” Fiorina responded. "Hopefully, if we are signaling clearly to the Russians are intention, it will not come to that.”

“But if it does come to that, I think we must be prepared,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO added.

She's nuts. Just plain nuts.

Load her in a B2 and drop her on Moscow.

Win/Win.

Did Carly bother explaining exactly why American Mothers' son's lives should be lost to oust Assad?

[miliantnutcase]

You have to “plan” to use force against them of course... but Syria is the LAST place to do it.

[going hot]

The Rat is strong in this one.

[PghBaldy]

Trump needs to do a “daisy” commercial about Carly.

[TheTimeOfMan]

Agree with all the comments above. Dangerously stupid.

What a disastrous situation. We shouldn’t have trained anybody and now that we did they are killed by Russians. The world is watching what we will do.

It’s a no win situation, but I’d rather obummer be humiliated and our dependability be questioned than start WWIII.

Besides, wasn’t Syria already bombing them? We didn’t shoot down their jets.

Reason number one is that it is not her son[s] that will die. Reason number two through infinity, refer back to number 1.

[Norm Lenhart]

Need a judgement call on this one Steve. Does this count as another foot or is it too obvious to bother with?

[Sacajaweau]

Whoah girl....Russia has been an ally of Syria for over 50 years.

We don't even have diplomatic ties with Syria. We closed their Embassy in DC and sent everyone.

We have no interest nor do we belong in Syria.

[grania]

I repeat. Up until Monday or so, we were told that we weren't supporting anti-Assad forces. We're supposed to be supporting forces that are fighting ISIS. And that those soldiers the US trained have handed their weapons over to terrorists.

So Fiona is supporting that we continue to fight Saudi Arabia's war? While they crucify teenagers? Wow. It all adds credence to the speculation that the US doesn't actually want to defeat ISIS.

The ex-HP employee swiftboat ads were going to be bad enough. Now the Dems will bring back the LBJ Daisy ad too.

[jennychase]

She is clueless.

[Ray76]

What? We should help them wipe out the “rebels”.

[Politicalkiddo]

Oh, gosh. Someone needs to muzzle her.
