and just over the weekend, larry korb, uae, and the saudis announced they would send planes.nce last week said the same thing. it sounds like the idea of just bombing this group is very popular, but not necessarily sending in soldiers. >> well, there is much less risk. you saw libya all of the bombing and none of the planes were lost. and the other is it doesn't inflame the local population. i don't think it's a problem in iraq, because you have the iraqi forces, the peshmerga, and some members of the government, and the shia militias. the real problem is going to be syria. the free syria army may be ready at some point, but it is not going to happen very, very quickly. in syria, you don't want to help someone you don't want to help. you get isis out, and you bring in the al-qaeda offshoot, or assad. i think the hope would be in syria that we could do kind of a decapitation strike like we did with bin laden or something, and hopefully at some point have the russians intercede to come up with a solution down the road. but it's hard to see us taking over on the ground. >> was t
