You resisted Obama, unlike other Republicans, when he wanted to send soldiers to Syria. So my view is, having served in Iraq, I want a very strong military. I want peace through strength. But what I don't want to do is get involved in some commitment that there's not a clear rationale for what we're doing. And there's not a concrete identification of what does victory mean. And I think we get in trouble. Like in Iraq, we were there first for wmd, then that wasn't. (33:00–33:09)
