- 8 years ago
Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio on Sunday was calling for more ground forces in Syria, pressing the hawkish foreign policy for dismantling the Islamic State terror group that also has helped him rise in popularity polls.
The Florida lawmaker told "Fox News Sunday" the strategy to defeat ISIS, which has claimed responsibility for the deadly Paris attacks, is to have a ground force of mostly Arab Sunnis with some American "special operators."
"It's the only way to do it," he said.
Rubio is currently in second place in New Hampshire and in third place in Iowa, according to a Fox News poll released Sunday morning.
