Speaker of the House John Boehner appeared on ABC's This Week and said that the U.S. may have 'no choice' but to send ground troops to Syria to fight ISIS.
"If the goal is to destroy ISIS, as the president says it is, I don't believe the strategy that he outlined will accomplish that. At the end of the day, I think it's gonna take more than airstrikes to drive them outta there."
Boehner went on to criticize the way President Obama has handled the effort.
BOEHNER: If I were the president, I probably wouldn't have talked about what I wouldn't do. And maybe we can get enough of these forces trained to get ‘em on the battlefield. But somebody's boots have to be there.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And if no one else will step up, would you recommend putting American boots on the ground?
BOEHNER: We have no choice. These are barbarians. They intend to kill us. And if we don't destroy them first, we're gonna pay the price.
