Did John Boehner just take a swipe at President No-Boots-On-The-Ground?

Or is it?
Twitchy readers know that we’re not exactly the biggest fans of Rep. John Boehner. But we are gracious, and we’re willing to give credit where credit is due.
And it kinda sounds like credit is due here:
Godspeed to the men & women of our armed forces leading the fight against #ISIL terrorists. Nearly 2,000 on the ground in #Iraq.

“On the ground,” eh?
This is brilliant https://t.co/aggBrDPkDS

Of course, it’s possible that Boehner’s phrasing was purely coincidental. But, well, we choose to believe it wasn’t.

President Obama’s no-boots-on-the-ground narrative is collapsing before our eyes. And he deserves to be called out on it.
