It is my opinion that our European Allies and Israel should finally contribute boots on the ground. They are at greater risk than we are and we've already spilt more blood than was necessary. Germany and France have yet to commit boots on the ground in Iraq nor has Israel. Or is there a logical reason they should not and that we should?

The Brits & the US have spent enough lives in that God-Forsaken country - Let the Europeans and the inhabitants of the region handle this crap. Add in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. We are hated enough as it is. ISIS is NOT our problem. Our presence in Iraq again would be the greatest recruiting tool ISIS could ever dream of. As a matter of fact, they want the US involved again with troops. I stand with Obama on this issue.

IMHO the leaders of people who might be our allies don't trust Obama. They don't like Obama. As such, they won't support Obama with ground troops. Why should they? They know that Obama would abandon them in a heartbeat, if it pleased Obama to do so.
