Hillary: ‘No Role Whatsoever’ For Ground Troops In Iraq
Hillary Clinton is taking a stand against troops on the ground in Iraq.
After a campaign stop in New Hampshire on May 22, Clinton told reporters that there is “no role whatsoever for American soldiers on the ground” in Iraq, NBC News reported.
“I think it’s a very difficult situation, and I basically agree with the policies that we are currently following and that is American air support is available, American intelligence and surveillance is available. American trainers are trying to undo the damage that was done to the Iraqi army by former prime minister Maliki, who bears a very big part of the responsibility for what is happening inside of Iraq today,” the former U.S. Secretary of State said.
Clinton added that while she doesn’t believe in American forces on the ground in Iraq, she supports the idea of American troops training the Iraqi military to fight ISIS on their own.
“This has to be fought and won by Iraqis,” Clinton commented.

I’m not Hillary’s biggest fan, but I like what I’m hearing so far.
