One day after the Florida governor told Bloomberg¡¯s Mark Halperin that the U.S. is ¡°going to have to have ground troops¡± to fight the terrorist group, Bush, speaking at The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, said the U.S. should immediately go beyond the bombing sorties already underway in the region.
