Do you support the prongs of the war on terror that haven't been about regime change, but have been things about drone assassination, even of American citizens, about Guantanamo? What is your hawkishness when it comes to the war on terror? Al Qaeda attacked us on 9/11, killing thousands of Americans. We have continued to see that threat that is posed by terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and isis. This is not a war that we chose, but it is a threat that continues. (27:36–27:42)
