Kelly Clarkson and Jason Aldean win an #ACMs (Single of the Year) for Don't You Wanna Stay. Powerful, emotional, jammed out many times to it

I spy 3 #IDOL winners at #ACMs: Kelly, Carrie, Scotty. I wonder if @TheXFactorUSA @nbcthevoice winners will have similar post-show success.

Whoosh, indeed:

Whoosh! And the news cycle moves on RT @SkyNewsBreak France have launched their first airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq

But there are limits to what France will do. From the BBC:

President Hollande said on Thursday that French air strikes would only target the jihadist group’s positions in Iraq, and not neighbouring Syria.

He also insisted that he would not send ground troops.

Is anyone willing to send ground troops?
