"Rick Perry Calls for More U.S. Troops, Airstrikes Against ISIS"

I hope that he is calling for these along our southern border!

[Tennessee Nana]

acting like a president !!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well as a former air force pilot Rick at least has a clue about air strikes as opposed to the Choom In Chief sitting in the Whitehut or rather out on the golf course.

[TADSLOS]

What southern border?

[Paladin2]

Just fixing the Mex-Tex border would be sufficient Mr. Indictee.

"What southern border?"

My bad! Make that Mexico's Northern Border! ;-)

[1010RD]

Let him ride this all the way into the WH.

[South40]

He made clear that he believes increased support for Iraq means more boots on the ground in a country many Americans hoped the U.S. military was done protecting.

Typical of Mumbles Perry to get it wrong. Not one more American should shed his/her blood for a people who hate us.

Perry's "boots on the ground" position is going to kill whatever slim prospects he had of getting the nomination and to that I say, good

[MIchaelTArchangel]

And we should not rule out using neutron bombs to kill ISIS, their goats and camels, and anyone standing too close to them.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah, boots on the ground is pretty much a campaign ender in America today.

We need to deal with Isis but we can provide arms and air cover for the Kurds and Iraqis which seems to give them the edge.

Exactly. Arm the Peshmerga and provide air support. No more dead Americans for a people who hate us.

[South40]

You should think a bit before you cheer lead Perry’s grievous errors. Perry’s “boots on the ground” position could end his campaign before it even gets started. Less than 1 in 5 Americans approve of sending troops back into Iraq. It’s a losing campaign strategy. If Perry lacks the intellect to avoid making such boneheaded comments one would think his advisers would know better. Apparently not.

[Iscool]

Rick who???

[Georgia Girl 2]

I am applauding his airstrikes strategy. I agree we don’t need to get boots back on the ground. I am hoping he backs off on that idea.

[Georgia Girl 2]

BTW I think Perry is referring to advisors etc and we always have CIA and special ops crawling all over the place. I don’t think he is advocating sending troops.

[Wolfie]

Maybe his kids are going to enlist. Or not.

[South40]

I don’t think he is advocating sending troops.

You should do a little more research on your hero. He absolutely is for sending troops back into Iraq and has said so dating back as far as the 2012 presidential debates.

Perry: "I would send troops back into Iraq" ~January 8, 2012

[Georgia Girl 2]

“Air power is a major part of it, but it’s also going to take more special operations, intelligence, and advisor support than we’ve offered so far,” Perry said”

Just so we are accurate about what Rick Perry is saying today. He’s not calling for putting the troops back in.

[South40]

Maybe his kids are going to enlist. Or not.

Or maybe he is just a completely clueless dumbass who wants other peoples' kids to die for a people who hate us.
