Senator Lindsey Graham wants to put 10,000 "boots on the ground" to confront the Islamic State
The South Carolina Republican, who on Thursday premiered a political action committee (http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-01-29/lindsey-graham-s-2016-exploration-takes-shape) aimed at exploring a run for president, told Face the Nation (http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/lindsey-graham-youre-gonna-need-boots-on-the-ground-against-isis/) on Sunday that the terrorist organization could launch an attack on the U.S. that would be like "Paris on steroids" and that the group won't stop executing hostages aide workers and journalists until "they're degraded and destroyed."
"An aerial campaign will not destroy them," Graham said. "You're going to need boots on the ground, not only in Iraq, but in Syria."
