Clinton also challenged Turkey to step up and become full partners in combating ISIL. “This is their fight, and they need to act like it,” she said. “So far, however, Turkey has been more focused on the Kurds than on countering ISIS.”
And she specified how she would run a no-fly zone in Syria, saying it would be “principally over northern Syria close to the border, cutting off the supply lines, trying to provide some safe refuges for refugees ... creating a safe space away from the barrel bombs. I would certainly expect to work with the Russians to be able to do that.
“This is a time for American leadership. No other country can rally the world to defeat ISIS. Only the United States can mobilize common action on a global scale,” she said. “The entire world must be part of this fight, but we must lead it.”
The balancing act for Clinton remains how to position herself in relation to Obama, who last week, just hours before the coordinated attacks across the City of Light, said the Islamic State in Iraq had been geographically “contained.” Clinton is seen as the most hawkish Democrat in the 2016 race but also the only candidate who can be directly connected with helping put together Obama’s ISIL containment strategy as secretary of state.
“We have to look at ISIS as the leading threat of an international terror network,” Clinton said at the second Democratic debate last Saturday. “It cannot be contained; it must be defeated.”
In a Q&A following her speech, journalist Fareed Zakaria pushed Clinton to draw contrasts with her foreign policy vision and that of Obama, but she did not take the bait. She called her proposals “in many ways an intensification and acceleration” of Obama’s current strategy to defeat ISIL.
