The military know you can't beat ISIS with an air assault only. They will hide in schools and hospitals, like the Pals. And the doctors, farmers and dentists of the Syrian rebellion are no match for ISIS soldiers. Even Obama knows that.

>> President Obama has said there would be no "boots on the ground" in the fight to stamp out ISIS in Iraq and Syria, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that he would recommend ... Obama doesn't have a history of following military leadership advice. And it hasn't worked out well (see: Afghanistan and Iraq, both problems that were made far worse by Obama's arrogant incompetence). He has said no boots on the ground and Obama was being put on notice by the Join Chiefs that boots on the ground are needed and he will not be able to obscure that fact. This idea that you go to war and limit it to air strikes is just stupid. If you can get away with it, great. But Obama has proved he is an idiot by ruling out doing what is necessary to solve the problem.
