Democrats say no to more troops in Middle East
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders agree that they do not want to see large numbers of American ground troops return to the Middle East.
Debating Thursday in the first one-on-one Democratic debate, the two describe the US role as providing assistance, through supplies, weapons and special forces -- but not a massive ground force.
Clinton says sending ground troops "is off the table."
Sanders says his goal would be keeping the US from getting "sucked into never-ending perpetual warfare within the quagmire of Syria and Iraq."
He adds, "It must be Muslim troops on the ground that will destroy" the Islamic State group.
