Clinton: U.S. should not put troops on the ground to fight ISIS

Hillary Clinton says she won't deploy combat troops to fight ISIS

Hillary Clinton gave a firm no Monday when Charlie Rose asked her whether U.S. combat troops should join the fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Clinton cannot "conceive" any circumstance for combat troops

Clinton backed President Obama's current strategy, saying she agrees "with the President's point that we're not putting American combat troops back into Syria or Iraq."

The Democratic presidential candidate continued, saying she "cannot conceive of any circumstances where I would agree to do that," because she believes the best way to fight ISIS is from the air.
