Rick Perry Tells Fox Panel He Supports A Unilateral No-Fly Zone Against Syria
(By James Crugnale, Mediaite) - Rick Perry made a bold policy proclamation Monday night on 'Special Report with Bret Baier', declaring he supports a no-fly zone in Syria without approval from the United Nations.
Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer had asked the Texas Governor if he would support armed resistance in Syria.
“Let me back up and say we missed some great opportunities,” Perry opined. “Iran is the real issue in the Middle East from my perspective and we had the opportunity in 2009 with the Green Revolution to use economic sanctions, to use diplomatic sanctions over covert. We had the opportunity to help the citizens overthrow that very oppressive regime and to stop them in their quest to get a nuclear weapon in 2009 and we failed. Naively, the president and the administration was talking to Syria and the Iranians and we wasted a great opportunity. The point should always be when there is this type of oppressive regime obviously working with Iran in that area to be very hostile to our oldest friend and longest serving democracy Israel, we need to put everything on the table there. There should not be anything set aside that keeps the pressure off those individuals.”
