US House Speaker: No Choice But To Send Ground Troops To Fight ISIS
2014-09-29
[Ynet] US House Speaker, republican John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner
... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans...
said in interview to ABC that the US may have no choice but to send American ground forces to fight Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group.

"I think it's going to take more than air strikes to drive them out of there. At some point somebody's boots have to be on the ground."

"We have no choice," Boehner warned. "These are barbarians. They intend to kill us, and if we don't destroy them first, we're going to pay the price."

#5  Hey, we don't need no Constitution, I'm Commander-in-Chief, plus I got a whole slue of E.O. notepads in the lower left hand corner of my big Oval Office desk. I can just jot one off before I head out to the Congressional Golf Course. See, I do my best thinking out there and technically, the way I see it, I am in touch with Congress, by using the Congressional Golf Course. Yeah, that's it.

Get that in writing. BTW, that is your responsibility under the Constitution (not that the document seems to matter to you and your fellow drones congresscritters).

#1  "Its not pronounced 'Boner'"! > D *** NG IT, WHO SEZ!

Don't be ridiculous - next thing you're going to tell me is that the Clintons never pronounced ARKANSAS as "AR-KANSAS", as opposed to "ARKAN-SAW"???

lol.

Anyhoo, ... ...

* WORLD NEWS >[New York Post] US MILITARY CHIEF [GEN. Martin Dempsey, USA]: 15,000 GROUND TROOPS [12-15K] NEEDED TO DESTROY ISIS.

ARTIC > GEN. DEMPSEY = there absolutely positively categorically undeniably ... @etc. MUST be a ground component to the US' anti-ISIS campaign.

"MUST, MUST - spelled M-U-S-S-E - MUST"!

FYI the Pentagon has sent to Iraq approxi 500 personnel from the HQ section of the US Army's First Infantry Division, aka "The Big Red One", ostensibly to help advise, org, + train the troubled Iraqi Army under post-Maliki, new Shia PM Al-Badi.

versus

* SAME > [Inquisitr] ISIS HAS RECRUITED 6,000 NEW FIGHTERS SINCE THE US LAUNCHED AIRTRIKES.

Monkeywrench???
