The top U.S. military leader opened the door Tuesday to U.S. troops on the ground in the fight against the Islamic State, testifying before Congress that he could recommend "U.S. military ground forces" if the international coalition being formed proves ineffective against the terror group.

...Dempsey said he could change his recommendation if he found circumstances "evolving" in the region.

The anti-war/isolationist pacifists who make claims like "We don't need to be dragged into another war" or "Let the middle east deal with their own problems" or "It's not our job to police the world" in regards to ISIS are essentially supporting and justfying ISIS through the back door.

ISIS needs to be destroyed, period

There is a time and place for the whole "We don't need to police the world" mindset, I agree with it most of the time, but not with ISIS

Isis probably wants us to attack them. Let us get involved in another Unwinnable war and go even deeper in debt

No one is disagreeing with this. But the ME (especially Turkey/Iran) can step up and do this. The only reason they don't is b/c they know we will.

So everytime a group starts to garner headlines, U.S. troops have to go in? You sure are a fan of the status quo

ISIS only exists because warmongers like yourself want America involved in every conflict on the planet. ISIS is a direct effect of America meddling in the affairs of others.

Exactly. This will once again be seen as the U.S. with the shiites vs. the sunnis
