Gen. Anthony Zinni: ‘I Think They’re Going To Continue To Kill Americans’

Posted by | September 3, 2014 07:30 | Filed under: Politics Radio Interviews Top Stories War & Peace


Former Commander in Chief of the United States Central Command, General Anthony Zinni, told me on radio Tuesday night what he believes should be done regarding ISIS.

COLMES: What should be our reaction to the latest beheading?
GEN ZINNI: I think clearly this group will have to be dealt with and dealt with firmly. The atrocities they’ve committed, near genocide in some cases, the beheading that are absolutely horrific. I think we need to do what we are capable of to destroy especially their conventional capabilities they’ve taken from the Iraqis and from others in Syria and Iraq. I support the airstrikes. “They may step up to bombing, our embassies may be at risk, American tourists at risk.”
COLMES: Should have gone into Syria sooner?
GEN. ZINNI: I don’t think we should have gone into Syria, if you were to take out Assad, what would you get, you would have another civil war between ISIS and the moderate force.

Zinni also reiterated that the Iraq war was one that should not have been fought.

Zinni is promoting his book, Before the First Shots Are Fired.

    I bet McCain, Graham and all of the other warhawks are hating this man about now. But, as an aside, I think this cartoon is apropos:

    Unfortunately we are going to end up with boots on the ground. Air strikes can only do so much. Obama needs to get many other countries to commit to the cause of wiping out ISIS. Good luck with that though…
