<div>It's true that some Republican candidates
tried to use the "ISIS crisis" to portray
Democrats as "weak on national security." But
these Republicans haven't yet been forced to
put forward and defend any specific "more
aggressive" alternative policy in the court of
public opinion. It's one thing to say that you
think the President is doing a bad job
confronting ISIS. It's quite another to be
forced to say what exactly you would do
differently.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do these Republicans want to see U.S.
ground troops engaged in combat against ISIS
in Iraq and Syria? If so, let them say so on
the record; let them introduce and vote for an
authorization of force for Iraq and Syria that
includes the use of ground combat troops...</div>
