Specific proposals to end the appalling violence in Syria, Yemen, and territories controlled by the Islamic State group are scarce in the nascent presidential campaign. That is about to change.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina -- who tells Yahoo Finance he’s “92-and-a-half percent sure” he’s running for president -- wants to send U.S. troops back to the world’s most volatile region to stamp out vicious terrorism and remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. “Assad has to go,” he says in the video above. “We’re going to have to send some of our soldiers back into the Middle East.”

Unintentionally funny excerpt:
Graham is an Air Force reservist who has spent 33 years on active and reserve duty in the Judge Advocate General Corps, which gives him more credibility on national security matters than others with no military background.

He isn't happy unless ISIS kills all the Shia and enslaves the rest of the minority communities in the ME.

Assad is no good and neither are the people who are backing him - hezbollah, Iran, etc.
But the ISIS crowd is no great improvement over Assad.
About the only thing we can hope for a long-running bloody stalemate.

Topple Assad, giving way to the unchecked savagery of true islam.
Are Graham and McCain right in any of their views? I was going to say ‘positions’, but the word doesn’t work in a Graham thread.
