full title....Obama says he WOULD order U.S. troops into ISIS territory - if they get a nuclear weapon: President conjures nightmare scenario that justifies 'boots on the ground'

But, speaking at a news conference in Australia today, the President insisted he would personally order the operation should the U.S. uncovering the terrifying intelligence.

He said: 'There are always circumstances in which the United States might need to deploy U.S. ground troops.

'If we discover that ISIL had gotten possession of a nuclear weapon and we had to run an operation to get it out of their hands, then yes, you can anticipate that not only would Chairman Dempsey [the top U.S. general] recommend me sending U.S. ground troops to get that weapon out of their hands, but I would order it.'

If they get a nuclear weapon, then we need to NUKE them, not send troops.

Idiot.

In other words, he won’t use military force unless and until the situation escalates to where the troops (and everyone else, us and them) can be wiped out easily and in great numbers — and almost certainly would be.

Brilliant.

So, he won't send in ground troops until ISIS has a nuclear weapon to bomb them with? And he didn't disintegrate ISIS when he had a chance, when they were moving in a column over the desert?

Wow. When does the military say "enough"?!
