Yeah... I don’t know that I believe very much of this. I keep thinking of Dustin Hoffman and an Albanian woman holding a cat..... But I do believe that we can defeat Isis without boots on the ground. I do believe we can deter and destroy them with air power and missiles.

You are dreaming, my FRiend. Iraqi armor, in the first Gulf War, was intact after more than a month of sustained bombing. In the case of one Iraqi battalion, it ceased to exist after 15 minutes in contact with an American tank force. Boots on the ground is what gets the job done.
