Securing Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles and facilities will take more than 75,000 ground troops - Pentagon

Over the years,  liberals have acted on the belief that military action apart from "boots on the ground" is always an effective option.  Problem:  this has never proven out to be true. Unless Obama is not serious about preventing more chemical strikes by Syria (or whoever),  his strategy of a limited bombing is destined to fail.  And if the GOP signs on to such a strategy,  they are complicit in the failure,  and Obama knows this  -  that is the only reason this politician has suddenly decided to go "bipartisan" in Syria.  Keep in mind that he acted as the Imperialist President that he is,  when conducting the Afghan war,  the Egyptian intervention and support of the Muslim Brotherhood,  and the Libyan Debacle.  He is a failed military leader,  and all the world knows this except for GOP RINO leadership.

From the Daily Mail:

Securing Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles and the facilities that produced them would likely require the U.S. to send more than 75,000 ground troops into the Middle Eastern country, MailOnline learned Wednesday.

That estimate comes from a secret memorandum the U.S. Department of Defense prepared for President Obama in early 2012.  

U.S. Central Command arrived at the figure of 75,000 ground troops as part of a written series of military options for dealing with Bashar al-Assad more than 18 months ago, long before the U.S. confirmed internally that the Syrian dictator was using the weapons against rebel factions within his borders.

‘The report exists, and it was prepared at the request of the National Security Advisor’s staff,’ a Department of Defense official with knowledge of the inquiry told MailOnline Wednesday on condition of anonymity.
