Senate Armed Services Democrat, Republican Differ on Boots on the Ground in Iraq

Melissa Quinn •   October 5, 2014

With airstrikes continuing in Iraq and Syria as part of the campaign to “degrade and destroy” ISIS, a Democrat and a Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee today expressed differing opinions on whether there should be American boots on the ground in Iraq.

Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Jack Reed, D-R.I., discussed the United States’ strategy to combat ISIS on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

President Obama has repeatedly said he will not send U.S. troops to Iraq again and will instead rely on a coalition of allies in the region to help take down the brutal terrorist group also known as the Islamic State and ISIL.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
