Rick Santorum Calls For Ground Troops To Fight Islamic State

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who is considering another presidential run, called for putting 10,000 U.S. troops on the ground to fight the growth of the extremist group that calls itself the Islamic State.

Speaking at the annual Conservative Political Action Committee’s convention in Maryland on Friday afternoon, Santorum accused President Barack Obama of failing to understand the gravity of the threat.

“I won because I stood for someone — the little guy, the American worker,” he said. “And if we’re going to win in 2016, we need to stand for the little guy too.”
