Regardless what the news reports are, there is no denying what Lerch said on Face the Nation. Huh? Not asking anyone for boots on the ground? But this is not the first time he acted like a you know what. Almost to the day last year when ratcheting up for war. I was stunned when I saw this yesterday. Anyone still wondering what we have going on in the WH? At least last year the WH admits we have zero allies for Syria attack September 9, 2013.
I guess this time we are not even going to ask. Here we go:
Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Secretary of State John Kerry when asked if any nations have volunteered to supply combat troops to fight ISIS on the ground said, “We’re not looking to put troops on the ground.”
Bob Schieffer asked, “Mr. Secretary, you’ve gotten any specific commitments for military help? For example, have you found anybody that is willing to put troops on the ground in to this fight?”
Kerry answered, “We’re not looking to put troops on the ground. there are some who have offered to do so. but we are not looking for that at this moment anyway. The answer is, yes, there are some that have said that. There are some that are clearly prepared to take action in the area alongside the United States, and to do airstrikes if that’s what they’re called on to do.”
He added, “There are troops on the ground that don’t belong to us they’re called syrian. the syrian opposition is on the ground. one of the regrettable things is, it has been fighting ISIS by itself over the course of the last couple of years.”

Obama’s war is going to turn into the FUBAR of all time.
The size of the IS will grow by 400-500% in the next six months as faction after faction all over the globe join to bring about the caliphate. Watch for it.

“Lerch.” exactly.
You mention the media not remarking on how he’s not asking for boots on the ground but he’s always said he won’t put troops on the ground, hasn’t he? Imagine ANYTHING for America that would cause this clueless president to actually fight with gloves OFF? that’ll be the day.

I had a better pic of left over boots on the ground my old buddy from Korean War sent me. Tried to find it on web, but couldn’t. This one will have to do.
Where did they come from? Huh?

We might as well give up. Clueless. I am surprised that the media didn’t pick up on him not asking anyone for boots.

Well … if Kerry says it we know ‘it has to be true’ right?
Wonder how many are already on the ground and have been for some time.
Another hot air balloon-er – time to cut his string.

In my opinion this war is already lost. Just as Hamas, Al Queda et al became part of tyne accepted landscape so will ISIS. The government contractors are oiling up their cash registers. And once they set up shop on the Mexican-US border the cartels will cover ISIS’ asses and Jerry Brown will issue them drivers licenses.
