As posted by CNN in light of recent events by ISIS in Iraq:
"The U.S. will need to do what it can to buck up the Iraqi military. This could easily lead to sending additional advisers, but under no circumstances should it involve the use of combat forces. We may well have to use airstrikes and drones against ISIS. And this is tricky, because it risks feeding jihadi sentiment. That's why a new political arrangement is mandatory.
But even without it, the United States must face the reality that ISIS -- with money, passports, and a base of operations -- will emerge as a threat to our friends in the region, to Europe and ultimately to us."
So- are boots on the ground inevitable, in light of recent events like those of reporter Foley (RIP)? Do you support armed conflict to address ISIS?
