| BLUF from Ralph Peters and 'Mad Dog' Mattis: [The Daily Caller] Former Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters gave his analysis on Monday night's episode of The O'Reilly Factor. The FOX News contributor said that while the incident was good news, it was a "one-off," since "the terrorists are warned, so if we try to do it again ... it's going to be a whole lot tougher." He concluded that "like it or not, if you want to beat Islamic State, it takes boots on the ground." Gen. James Mattis, the former head of U.S. Central Command, has warned that ruling out combat troop deployments would "reassure the enemy in advance that they're never going to face them." Sending in warfighters, he told a congressional panel, would potentially require a commitment of time and resources. |
