He hasn't said either, that I've seen. He has said we should "go after" them or that he would "be very tough" on them, or something else deliberately vague to the point where the action remains undefined. That way people can project what they want it to mean, but he isn't responsible for defending an actual COA.That's not what he said, or at least not what I've heard him say a number of times. He has not suggested revenge killings, nothing even close. He has said that if we go get the families of these terrorists we can use them as leverage to get the terrorists to stop attacking, because even though these terrorists don't care about their life, they do care about their family. That's what I've heard him say.
Liberals want that to mean "kill" because it makes the suggestion horrific, (the other GOP candidates are willing to assume it means "kill" for the same reason), but he hasn't actually said that.
