Inhofe: Obama ‘Flat Not Telling the Truth’ About Ground Troops in Iraq

Senator Inhofe: Obama ‘Flat Not Telling the Truth’ About Ground Troops in Iraq (National Review Online)

After hearing the Pentagon’s testimony in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Senator Jim Inhofe is more convinced than ever that U.S. “boots on the ground” will end up being used to confront the Islamic State — and he’s accusing President Obama of “flat not telling the truth” about the matter, including the fact that there are already special forces on the ground.

Inhofe spoke just hours after the hearing with CNN’s Jake Tapper, who asked the Oklahoma Republican how he interpreted General Martin Dempsey’s admissionthat U.S. combat troops may be sent to fight against the Islamic State should air strikes prove insufficient.
