FARGO (KFGO-AM) - Democratic North Dakota congressional candidate George Sinner says he doesn’t have an opinion regarding whether U.S. ground troops should be used in the war against "Isis."
Sinner says he believes the threat imposed by the organization is "very serious," but he's not sure what kind of strategy should be used against the terror group.
“I just don’t have enough to really make a qualified statement on what I think I should do,” Sinner said. “I am really uncertain. I have to back both the congress and the administration. I don’t know what honestly is the best method because I’m not privy to the same information that they get.”
When asked specifically whether he would support using ground forces against Isis, Sinner said, “I’m not in a position to answer that question. I don’t have the same information that our congress people do and our administration.” “Am I ready to put boots on the ground? Not without the information, I’m not.”
Sinner is running against Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer. Cramer recently voted to support training and arming Syrians to combat Isis, as long as certain accountability measures are followed.
