(CNSNews.com) - Asked if the United States has found any country "that is willing to put troops on the ground" in Syria and Iraq, Secretary of State John Kerry told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, "Well, we're not looking to put boots on the ground. There are some who have offered to do so. But we are not looking for that, at this moment, anyway."
President Obama has said the effort to defeat ISIS/ISIL in Iraq and Syria will not involve American "boots on the ground." Obama says other countries must step up.
Schieffer asked Kerry, "Do you really think you can destroy ISIL without troops on the ground? I mean, how does that work?"
"Bob, there are troops on the ground that don't belong to us. They're called Syrian," Kerry responded.

Didn’t this commie bastard go to Paris to negotiate a “peace” with the NVA? And then threw away his medals like they were ass wipe. I guess he knew they were faked anyway. It’s not like he was really wounded in battle. He cut himself shaving.Another PH poleeze.

They’ll wait until after the mid-terms so that the liberal base isn’t angered just before voting. Kind of like with his executive order on immigration.

The DORK has nothing. He was given that from his own stories. He couldn’t organize a sock drawer.

Obama’s foreign policy is in utter chaos. It seems that Lurch has no clue what is coming from the White House and vice versa. Add to the chaos the bimbo sorority girls speaking for the State Department. It seems that no one in this administration, including Obama, has any coherent plan or are even on the same page

I can’t imagine many American troopers relish the idea of being inserted between two armies of maniacal, bloodthirsty, Muslim-toe-rags.
And the Australians must be thinking,
“WTF? You say ... you’ll be overhead?”
“And that would make us .... bait? Bugger that!”

Send Jean Karre to the ebola countries as well. He can bring his hat.
