""People are going to have to go and get it," secretary of state Marco Rubio said at a congressional briefing earlier this month, referring to the possible operation."
""I personally think a ground operation using special forces supported by a larger force is extremely, extremely risky and ultimately infeasible," Spencer Faragasso, a senior research fellow at the Institute for Science and International Security, tells WIRED."

Experts warn that any ground operation would be complex and dangerous, with significant risks to American troops. The operation could take weeks and involve multiple targets that are not close to each other.
