    Are they really going to think people believe them that we didnt have troops there before? Who armed the "Moderates" then? Who trained the "moderates" then?

    Does anyone believe this (*)(*)(*)(*)?

    It's the usual hoodwinking of the American public that prefers to be hoodwinked than to face the truth that there is no such thing as an adviser, merely a fighter under another name.

    To support moderate rebels.

    There are no moderates save Assad, secular, economic free market.

    We're on the wrong side, with Russia et. al. On the other.

    Cheers

    I'm not a lefty. I thought him getting the Nobel Prize was a joke, it really did demonstrate how full of (*)(*)(*)(*) some institutions are. Obama's drone policy is a disgrace and he lied about boots on the ground. Are you surprised he lied?

    Now that I've answered your questions maybe you can respond to the substance my previous post instead of attacking me. Didn't the right want the U.S. to get more involved in Syria? How do you feel about is getting more involved?

    The United States is set to deploy troops on the ground in Syria for the first time to advise and assist rebel forces combating ISIS, multiple officials said Friday.

    A senior administration official said that the U.S. would be deploying "fewer than 50" U.S. Special Operations forces to Kurdish-controlled territory in northern Syria. The American troops will help local Kurdish and Arab forces fighting ISIS with logistics and are planning to bolster their efforts.

    The deployment of U.S. Special Operations forces is the most significant escalation of the American military campaign against ISIS to date.

    The U.S. Special Operations forces will first be deployed to northern Syria to help coordinate local ground forces and U.S.-led coalition efforts to fight ISIS, the senior administration official said.

    The U.S. will also boost its military footprint in confronting ISIS in Syria by deploying A-10 and F-15 fighter jets to an airbase in Turkey. And the U.S. is also eying the establishment of a Special Forces task force in Iraq to boost U.S. efforts to target ISIS and its leaders. President Barack Obama has also authorized enhancing military aid to Jordan and Lebanon to help counter ISIS.

    The U.S. has bombed targets in Syria since September 2014 without stopping ISIS, and it has largely failed in a mission to recruit and train moderate rebels in Syria to take on the terror group. In recent months, the U.S. has also bolstered its aid to local forces, air-dropping weapons, ammunition and other supplies to rebel forces inside Syria.

    Obama has long resisted an American military presence on the ground to combat ISIS in Iraq and Syria but has reluctantly escalated U.S. involvement in that fight over time since launching the military effort in 2014.

    I'm fairly certain that the British SAS are already there.

    Exactly; we heard the same 'advisor' crap with Vietnam-and look what a cluster(*)(*)(*)(*) that turned out to be.

    How about not advertising to your enemy what you're going to do? Is that lying? Before D-day there was a massive disinformation programme which convinced the Germans that the Normandy landings were going to take place elsewhere. Of course we could have telegrammed map references to Adolf if you prefer...

    The troops will be in Syria to give training and advice to the Syrian rebels with no combat on the part of U.S. troops.

    Didn't we recently pay out $500 million to train 60 Syrians on how to run away?
