Wants 10,000 more troops in Iraq

Interview0 Comments

Graham says that Syria remains a threat to the U.S. and if he is elected President he plans to send 10,000 more troops to Iraq. Graham:

Syria is the mostly likely launching pad for an attack on the United States. it’s going to take reengagement by the U.S. military in the region to end ISIS. I think that 10,000 troops will allow us to train the Iraqi army at a faster pace and give them the capability they don’t have. I am sorry it’s going to take reengagement by the American people. There no way to win the war without some of us being over there doing the fighting so they don’t hit us here at home.
