Destroy ISIS; disallow North Korean & Iranian nukes

ISIS must be destroyed where ever it festers. We need strong leadership in Washington with a clear mission to destroy this evil. If we elect to do nothing we will witness evil and genocide continue to destroy human life. Radical Islam will influence the youth in the region taking generations to eradicate. We need to lead a coalition of forces from the region to destroy this evil. North Korea and Iran must not be allowed ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons. We must put more pressure on China with trade policies to influence them that a nuclear Asian peninsula is not in their best interest.

ISIS must be eliminated at all costs

Defense is vital to our nation's security and our state's economy. We can't afford to lose Federal contracts. Connecticut's economy depends on preserving the defense contracts. ISIS must be destroyed where ever it festers. We need strong leadership in Washington with a clear mission to destroy this evil. If we elect to do nothing we will witness evil and genocide continue to destroy human life. Radical Islam will influence the youth in the region taking generations to eradicate.

Strong proponent of the war in Iraq

In a debate with U.S. Rep John larson; Concerning foreign policy, Larson said the United States needs to avoid "the tragic mistake in Iraq'' in any future conflicts and must avoid being "the police force'' of the world. But Corey, a U.S. Navy veteran, had a different view. "Whether you believe there [were] weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or not, it was a war worth going into,'' Corey said.
