House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on Sunday said that he thinks the U.S. may need more than airstrikes to defeat the Islamic State militant group in Iraq and Syria.
“If the goal is to destroy ISIS, as the president says it is, I don’t believe the strategy that he outlined will accomplish that,” the Speaker said on ABC’s “This Week.” “At the end of the day, I think it’s gonna take more than air strikes to drive them outta there. At some point somebody’s boots have to be on the ground.”
Boehner said that President Obama should not have promised that the U.S. would not send troops in to fight ISIL. The Speaker said the U.S. may end up with “no choice” but to send in American troops.
“These are barbarians. They intend to kill us. And if we don’t destroy them first, we’re gonna pay the price,” he said.
He added that he would bring Congress back from recess to vote on a resolution authorizing military action in Iraq and Syria.
Institute the draft.
Everybody needs an opportunity to put their TeaTriotism on the line for their right to bear arms, etc.
Thankfully, it’s not your decision.
It’s scary that this boozer is second in line behind Biden to become President!
“US May Have ‘No Choice’ But To Send Troops To Defeat ISIL”
Because that worked so well defeating the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
OK, Chickenhawk. You go first.
