This morning in an interview on MSNBC, Donald Trump admitted it was a Republican president who made America less safe by destabilizing the Middle East. Trump told Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski that he was “very unhappy with the Bush years” and that President Bush's 2003 invasion of Iraq “destabilized the Middle East.”

Trump’s comments come just days before President Obama’s final State of the Union and following 7 years in which the President decimated Al Qaeda’s leadership, eliminated Osama Bin Laden, and built a coalition of more than 60 countries to degrade and destroy ISIL/Daesh in Iraq and Syria. In recent weeks, the U.S.-led coalition lent air support to the expulsion of ISIL<http://www.defense.gov/News-Article-View/Article/639410/iraqi-forces-reach-strategic-milestone-in-fight-for-ramadi> from the key Iraqi city of Ramadi, took out senior leaders of ISIL’s financial network<http://www.newsweek.com/us-says-it-killed-three-isis-leaders-air-strikes-403947>, and crippled the stolen oil resources<http://money.cnn.com/2015/12/10/news/world/isis-oil/> on which ISIL relies for financing. To date, the U.S. has trained nearly 16,000<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/30/world/middleeast/isis-ramadi-iraq.html> Iraqi troops to take on ISIL. Meanwhile, yesterday the British Parliament decided they would debate this month over whether or not to deny Trump entry into their country based on his offensive rhetoric that is playing into the hands of ISIL recruiters.

“Trump’s comments are a reminder that any of the Republican candidates would drag America back to a misguided, go-it-alone, and dangerous foreign policy. Alienating our allies and helping ISIL’s recruiting efforts with offensive rhetoric are exactly why the GOP doesn’t have any credibility on national security,” said DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda.
