Bill Clinton: U.S. Has Proven It Can't Win An Iraq Land War -- CNN
(CNN) -- Former President Bill Clinton voiced support for the U.S. strategy to defeat ISIS and said only the Iraqi people can win a land war in Iraq.
Speaking Thursday night on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," Clinton said the United States has proven it can't win an Iraq war with boots on the ground, but that moderate Sunni tribal leaders working with an inclusive Iraqi government can.

Clinton said he thinks President Barack Obama's strategy to combat ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, "has a chance to succeed."

My Comment: Yes .... the Iraqi people need to be the ones who must lead the fight. But I disagree with his comment that the U.S. is not capable of winning an Iraq land war .... the problem has never been America or the U.S. military .... the problem has always been in Washington and from the politicians who run the place .... Bill Clinton included.
