John McCain wants to invade Iraq....again?

[kentuck]

He was on MSNBC this morning and he kept talking about how we needed "boots on the ground" and not just the "82nd Airborne". I suppose he meant we need more troops than just the special forces that go in and assassinate or capture our enemies? I shuddered to think that there was someone in the US Senate that would support another invasion of Iraq. But that seems to be what John McCain is suggesting? I wish someone in the media could get him to clarify that?

But what else could they mean when they say that we need "boots on the ground"??

1. Good grief. It's like "Groundhog Day" with guns.

2. So glad...

...he and Palin are not running the country. I think he's real mad about his loss.

3. Why are you even surprised?

He's a warmonger. That's what warmongers do.

4. It's more than Iraq.

McCain wants to engage with Iran via Iraq and in Iraq and cross the border into Iran.

5. You are probably right.

If truth be known?

6. His ISIS buddies aren't enough?

7. McCain's alter ego

Lindsey Graham said the same thing on CBS this morning. He wants 10,000 now!

8. OK! Go dust off your uniform John. Gather togther any of your fellow congress critters who agree

with you and tell them to do the same. We'll b happy to provide all of you with the equipment you need. GO FOR IT! You could be forever known as "Senior Congressional Strike Force"!

9. "Not the 82nd Airborne" means NOT large combat units

He was actually being more restrained than usual, though he did call for more U.S. trainers for Iraqi forces.

10. The phrase "boots on the ground" should be banished.

It is a tired old cliche used by people to make you think they know more then they actually do.
It means the same thing as "ground troops" so why not just say that?
