Hillary Clinton failed to mention that her agreement with a precipitous withdrawal and declaration of victory in 2011 helped left swaths of territory and weaponry from ISIS. She failed to mention that she described Bashar al-Assad as a positive reformer and opened an American embassy. She failed to mention a complete failure strategy in Libya, which now is enabling ISIS to move into Libya.

Carly Fiorina

Egypt is going to be, potentially, a failed state if we don't help them.

Edgar Bronfman, Sr.

Sinai is demilitarized in accordance with the Israel-Egypt peace agreement.

Tzipi Livni

Egypt under Hosni Mubarak had deteriorated to the status of a failed state. We must wipe the slate clean and start again.

Mohamed ElBaradei

When we toppled [Muammar] Gadhafi in Libya, I think that was a mistake. I think ISIS grew stronger, we had a failed state, and we were more at risk.

Rand Paul

As a young politician, I voted against the return of Sinai and peace with Egypt. I was mistaken.

Ehud Olmert

We've seen what happened in Libya, what a disaster that's been driven by Hillary Clinton, and the disaster in Syria and almost disaster in Egypt. What a close call that's been. We're not out of the woods yet with Egypt.

Jeff Sessions
