All the targets in one
package
The old man forgot Russia and Ukrainian crisis
A powerful US senator is pushing President
Barack Obama to put more American boots on the ground in Iraq and Syria.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., says "it is
obvious that President Obama currently has no coherent strategy to achieve his
stated goal to 'degrade and ultimately destroy' [the Islamic State]."
Part of any such plan,
McCain said in a statement Monday, should recognize that "American boots
on the ground are necessary to defeat [the group] in Iraq and Syria."
Specifically, McCain
wants to embed more US special operations forces as advisers with US allies on
the ground.
The hawkish 2008 GOP presidential nominee also wants Obama to adopt an
unambiguous stance against Assad's rule, referring to embattled Syrian leader
Bashar al-Assad.
