Play of the Day: What 'Boots on the Ground' Look Like

Stephen Colbert looks at America's latest commitment to the Middle East.

While President Obama has promised not to send ground forces to fight in Iraq, the rest of America is still quibbling over the footwear question. What does a "no boots on the ground" strategy really mean? It doesn't seem to matter: Stephen Colbert thinks it's all a load of "croc" anyway. 

Plus: Vice President Joe Biden doesn't mind his gaffes, Scotland allowed teenagers to vote on their independence from the United Kingdom, and elementary-school children ask Obama if he fought in the Civil War.
