The USA must combat ISIS by putting boots on the ground

" 'This is not relevant to this debate because by putting boots on the ground we would be combating as forms of ISIS. Just because they have three groups does not make them any more advanced'Knowing the groups that make up ISIS and the motivations for joining ISIS is very relevant to this debate. I am not saying that this makes them more advanced but that brings up strategic opportunities. It is far easier to undermine one of the groups motivations to join ISIS that to deal with them as a whole. The undermining most be in such a way to remove them as a treat other wise you just turn them in to another threat. " What you are basically saying is if we don't combat ISIS directly and try to take for example an economic approach it will be harder to stop them because they have different groups. That is helping to prove my point because it is showing by taking another approach then putting boots on the ground will be harder. "Haider al-Abadi Iraq's Prime Minister was asked by AP during an interview about the US or international community sending boots on the ground. He stated: "Not only is it not necessary," he said, "We don't want them. We won't allow them. Full stop." "The only contribution the American forces or the international coalition is going to help us with is from the sky," al-Abadi said. "We are not giving any blank check to the international coalition to hit any target in Iraq."Though the prime minister might not love the idea we need to do what is best for our country and that is to stop the people who have declared war against us. Did we care what the Prime Minister of Russia though when we went into the Cold War."US boots on the ground will not win against ISIS. It will make the problem worse. The Muslim Brotherhood is publicly stating that there is no ISIS. That it is the US doing it as an excuse to to bring back the US military to the area." This contradicts everything you have said in your arguments. Now you are saying that ISIS doesn't exist. What about all the beheading, or the extortion the list goes on and on. In your last sentence you say that the US practically made this up. Maybe you should say that to James Foley or Peter Kassig. They lost their sons who were just trying to show as what was really going on and now you are saying the US made it up."The Iraq government will not allow US troops into Iraq, and sending them any way just will turn Iraq in to a enemy."You are making an assumption based on what the Prime Minister said 3 months ago. Are you trying to say the solution to solve ISIS is one that Iraq doesn't want to happen? Think about all the attacks ISIS has made to Iraq to try to gain land and power. The amount of land they controlled was half the size when that Prime Minister spoke."The US interest are better served sending troops to Turkey."You need to clarify what are you saying because are you saying we should waste our tax money on sending troops to a place NOT in war or are you saying that we should send troops with Turkey's to fight ISIS? The latter would be that you are agreeing with my proposition as we would still be putting boots on the ground to combat ISIS.I have shown that ISIS needs to be stopped and the only way to do that is by putting boots on the ground. The general population is even in agreement with me. A recent poll by the Huffington Post show people wanting to put boots on the ground rise 24 percentage points. It went from 34% to 58%. This show that the majority of people want this to happen and we need to listen. My opponent has contradicted himself on multiple occasions and has provided substantial evidence to why we should put boots on the ground. According to our President Barack Obama," ISIS is a cancerous tumor that needs to be stopped." ISIS can be stopped by putting boots on the ground before the cancerous tumor gets to big and kills the US with another 9/11. We need to save our country and do what is best for the American People not the Prime Minister of Iraq. Also, my opponent has failed to mention an alternate solution as the air strikes have cleary not been working. His only solution is agreeeing with my proposition. Therefore, the only way to truly end ISIS is by putting boots on the ground.
