UK PM underlines need for ground troops to fight IS

Britain's prime minister has said that he does not believe the Islamic State can be defeated from the air alone, “troops on the ground” are needed. 

Speaking with Andrew Marr on the BBC on Sunday, David Cameron underlined that they should be Iraqi and Kurdish troops. 

“We are part of a large international coalition to degrade and ultimately destroy this organisation, but it can’t be done unless the countries where this organisation has grown up play their part to destroying it,” he told the BBC.
