Obama Has No Middle East Strategy? Good!
by Ron Paul
Last week President Obama admitted that his administration has not worked out a strategy on how to deal with the emergence of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as a dominant force in the Middle East. However, as ISIS continues its march through Syria and Iraq, many in the US administration believe it is, in the words of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, a threat “beyond anything we have ever seen.”
Predictably, the neocons attacked the president’s speech. They believe the solution to any problem is more bombs and troops on the ground, so they cannot understand the president’s hesitation.

I dont think government’s classify “Special Forces” as boots on the ground IIRC.
There could be several thousand over there then?
Boots or special boots…………still, someone is paying the bill…….
or ……delaying payment of the bill………..
It is called those of us living in the US of A. (At least theoretically!)
And, The Beat Goes On
124 reported US air strikes on ISIS.
UK joining in with air power.
405 reported new US troops to Iraq,now nearling near 900.
Who knows how many troops,air strikes and special forces are operating in that region,alone?
