Support Grows for Sending Troops Against ISIS

Mark Hensch of The Hill writes that:

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday found that 62 percent of voters in the United States would support using combat troops in Iraq and Syria. Only 30 percent would oppose it, and overall support for deploying troops against ISIS was strong regardless of party, gender or age.

This, as President Obama is asking for an Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) from Congress that would explicitly prohibit:

… “enduring offensive ground combat operations.”

Which means they would not participate in the campaign the administration wants to conduct – and, for that matter – is already waging against ISIS. 

Though not aggressively enough, evidently, to suit the American public.
