Iraq: boots on the ground?
"We will consider request to send American ground troops to Iraq", says Hegel today.
On Sunday, US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel confirmed that he may
consider sending US ground troops to Iraq in order to help with
locating ground targets that the international coalition aircrafts
intend to target.
He point out that the ‘Khorasan’ network still
represents a “serious threat” to the United States.
In a conference on national security strategies held at the Library
of the former President Ronald Reagan, California— Hegel stated that “he
will consider the request to send US ground troops to Iraq in order to
help identify ground targets, which the international coalition
aircrafts plans to target.”
He said, “We will deal with that
recommendation, but it has not been suggested yet.”
Hegel refused to confirm whether the US air strikes against what is
known as ‘Khorasan network’ had led to the death of its senior leaders,
but he also stressed that the network remains a serious threat to the
United States.
