McCain: Jordan Will Step up Against ISIS, but We Need ‘American Leadership’ Too
‘That’s going to require American participation, American air power, probably more American boots on the ground’
"I think we need to do something short term, Joe, like establishing a no-fly zone in Syria, like arming and equipping Free Syrian army, like continuing our training and equipping of Iraqis. But in the long term what our goal should be is to have an Arab force in Syria and in Iraq that can fight, do the bulk of the fighting. That's gonna require American participation, American airpower and probably more American boots on the ground. But our ultimate objective should be a force of Saudis, hopefully Turks if we can have some reconciliation there, Jordanians and others to carry on this fight against ISIS. It's gonna be long and it's gonna be hard.”
