Clinton: U.S. should not put troops on the ground to fight ISIS


Hillary Clinton gave a firm no Monday when Charlie Rose asked her whether U.S. combat troops should join the fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Clinton backed President Obama's current strategy, saying she agrees "with the President's point that we're not putting American combat troops back into Syria or Iraq."

The Democratic presidential candidate continued, saying she "cannot conceive of any circumstances where I would agree to do that," because she believes the best way to fight ISIS is from the air.

Watch the video above to hear the rest of what Hillary Clinton had to say about defeating ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

It appears that this was overlooked by Bernie supporters. But she did say "9-11" which has them all atwitter and apoplectic.
