Moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News asked the candidates about the ongoing siege of Aleppo in Syrian . The regime of President Bashar al - Assad , along with its Russian allies , are bombing the rebel stronghold where an estimated 400,000 people -- 100,000 of them children -- are trapped .

" Later , discussing Syria , Trump predicted greater upheaval in future and turned to Clinton , saying " wait ' til you see what happens in the coming years , " and blaming her .
What led to the formation of an all - out Iraqi force to liberate the Mosul ? Mosul had been invaded by Wahhabi ISIS mercenaries obsessed with dominating the region with a tyrannical and merciless code of behavior ( which ISIS falsely claim is instructed by Islam ) , and the people cried out in agony and fear and hopelessness under this evil . Women were raped and enslaved , children beheaded and brainwashed , and men slaughteredconflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle— all because they were considered not as Islamic or pious or religiously pure as the ISIS invaders . Of course this is also a great hypocrisy , since the ISIS takfiri fighters are constantly ingesting Captagon ( supplied by Saudis and US CIA and Mossad ) and other drugs to animate their bloody actions . This suffering , which incidentally was funded and encouraged by Saudi Arabia , Israel , the United States , and European nations , led to a great cry from the people of Mosul , and the leaders in Iraq heard it and have answered .
The Trump campaign responded by going after the Democratic nominee as well as the President . " Hillary Clinton has proven herself unfit to serve in any government office , " a Trump statement said , listing a number of policy concerns .

Trump did not arm ISIS and systematically exterminate Christians throughout the Middle East .
At least Mrs. Clinton never engaged in crude , private trash talk that was recorded on tape . And all of her disparaging , condescending , hate - soaked , fiction - laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured , solemn , well - rehearsed tones . And she deeply respects women and homosexuals , including the 49 people who were slaughteredconflict.attack.nain the Orlando nightclub . Clinton ’s Role in the Rise of ISIS and the Stratospheric Growth of Worldwide Terrorism ISIS , which evolved out of Al Qaeda in Iraq ( AQI ) , grew into the most powerful , well - funded horde of bloodthirsty barbarians in world history , right under Mrs. Clinton ’s nose , and precisely during her watch as secretary of state .
But she lied , and it ’s a big story . ” Mr. Comey , testifying last month to Congress , said that “ we have no basis to conclude she lied to the F.B.I. ” But he also said he could not say whether Mrs. Clinton ’s many public statements on the issue were truthful . Mr. Trump , in a written statement meant to respond directly to the president ’s remarks , called Mrs. Clinton “ unfit to serve in any government office . ” He also accused Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton of allowing Americans to be slaughteredconflict.attack.selfdirectedbattlein Benghazi , Libya ; letting veterans die waiting for medical care ; and releasing immigrants into the United States to kill innocent people .

It ’s easy to get caught up in symbolism . Apologies are indeed important , but , like any other symbolic action , they are significantly less important than actual tangible action . There has been drastically more discussion of apologizing — an immaterial action — than there has been of not wasting $ 1 trillion on new nukes that should never again be used , lest hundreds of thousands more civilians be slaughteredconflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle. Yet this does not come as much of a surprise , considering how the commentariat expresses time and time again that it is much more concerned with obediently echoing ruling - class rhetoric , policing “ civility ” and stifling dissentious discourses than it is with the trifles of actual substantive political policy . Calling for symbolic action like apologies for crimes committed more than seven decades ago is within the parameters of acceptable debate .
“ President Obama ’s veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act is shameful and will go down as one of the low points of his presidency , ” he said in a statement . ADVERTISEMENT “ This bipartisan legislation was passed unanimously by both houses of Congress and would have allowed the families of the nearly 3,000 people slaughteredlife.die.deathcausedbyviolenteventsby radical Islamic terrorists on September 11 , 2001 , the opportunity to seek justice in an American court of law . ” Trump added he would approve the controversial legislation if he were occupying the White House instead of Obama . “ That President Obama would deny the parents , spouses , and children of those we lost on that horrific day the chance to close this painful chapter in their lives is a disgrace , ” the GOP ’s presidential nominee said .
Mr. Comey , affirming a month ago to Congress , said that “ we have no premise to close she deceived the F.B.I. “ we have no basis to conclude she lied to the F.B.I. ” But he additionally said he could n’t say whether Mrs. Clinton ’s numerous open proclamations on the issue were honest . Mr. Trump , in a composed proclamation intended to react specifically to the president ’s comments , called Mrs. Clinton “ unfit to serve in any government office . ” He also accused Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton of allowing Americans to be slaughteredlife.die.deathcausedbyviolenteventsin Benghazi , Libya ; letting veterans die waiting for medical care ; and releasing immigrants into the United States to kill innocent people . Mr. Trump ’s statement said . “ We need change now .
Because WikiLeaks has numerous back - ups , the cut - off has n’t slowed the steady release of embarrassing revelations about Clinton and her campaign . If that is the sum total of Obama ’s retaliatory repertoire , it is no wonder the Russians are acting with impunity around the globe . If Biden is right , President Obama is moved to confront Russia not over hundreds of thousands being slaughteredconflict.attack.selfdirectedbattlein Syria – not because of the barrel bombs or chlorine gas – nor over Russia ’s takeover of Crimea from Ukraine , with whom we have a security treaty . He is not inspired by Russia selling a missile defense system to Iran over U.S. opposition , guaranteeing the security of Tehran ’s inevitable nuclear program . He is unmoved by Russian threats to shoot down our airplanes and their attacks on U.S. allies in Syria .

" Hillary Clinton has bad judgment and is unfit to serve as President , ' he added .
This approach leaves Syria as a broken country and a breeding ground for extremists for decades . Instead of focusing on Iraq in 2003 , Obama should have thought more about what happened there in 1991 . In the north , we protected the Kurds -- in the south , we were not intervening while the Shia were slaughteredlife.die.deathcausedbyviolenteventsand gassed by Saddam Hussein . To stay back from an intervention is not always a good solution . SPIEGEL : Meanwhile , structures of IS are being relatively successfully attacked in Iraq and Syria .
