Hillary Clinton on "CBS This Morning"

Charlie Rose interviewed Hillary in two segments that aired on "CBS This Morning" today.  She spoke about her plan to combat ISIS: sending combat troops would not be her strategy.  She also addressed her Wall St. ties.  She said anyone who thinks support from Wall St. would influence her does not know her.  As to why she is running for president, with the White House in the background, she said it is not to move back in there.  She called this election a watershed moment when we can either get the economy back on track for the majority, or we will find ourselves back in the economy of the 1920s.  The full interview will re-air this evening on Charlie Rose's PBS program.








Later today, she will be in Montgomery, Alabama keynoting an event commemorating Rosa Parks and the bus boycott that began with her refusal to give up her seat.

Hillary Clinton details plan to defeat ISIS, defends ties to Wall Street

In her first television interview since the Paris attacks, Hillary Clinton spoke to "CBS This Morning" co-host Charlie Rose about her plans to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and controversies over her ties with Wall Street.

Sticking by President Obama's current strategy, the former secretary of state said she could not "conceive of any circumstances" where she would agree to send American combat troops to fight ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

"We don't know yet how many Special Forces... trainers and surveillance and enablers might be needed," Clinton told Rose at the Hay Adams, across the White House. "But in terms of thousands of combat troops like some on the Republican side are recommending... it should be a non-starter, both because I don't think it's the smartest way to go after ISIS - I think it gives ISIS a new recruitment tool if we get back in the fight."
