When we were in Iraq, the Iranians were giving weapons to the Shi'a militia who were killing American soldiers, right. The Iranians were making us pay a price. We need to make the Iranians pay a price in Syria. We need to make the Russians pay a price. [...] you want to covertly tell the moderate opposition that you're supporting to go after -- this is a big deal -- to go after the Russians and the Iranians who are on the ground.
