The Covert Action Everyone Knows About (Video)
31 Oct 15
Wasn’t the entire Obama Presidency supposed to be built on the foundation of no more American soldiers in Iraq? Why are US soldiers fighting (and dying) in Iraq again? Oh wait, the President says it wasn’t his fault…

‘This Should End Really Well…’ Obama Orders Ground Troops To Syria
Fulfilling long-held predictions of “mission creep” by critics, sources within the Obama administration will on Friday announce that U.S. ground troops will now be deployed inside Syria.
In strategic leaks to various media outlets, the Pentagon has made clear the president’s plan to send approximately 50 Special Operations soldiers inside the war-torn country. Reports also note that expanded ground operations will also be taking place in neighboring Iraq.
“US Special Ops headed to Syria to ‘advise and assist.’ This should end really well.” —Jeremy Scahill, investigative journalistUnnamed U.S. officialsreportedly “stressed” to Reuters that the new boots-on-the-ground in Syria were “not meant to engage in front-line combat but rather to advise and assist moderate rebels.” One official told Reuters the key role of the troops would be “logistical” and designed, the news agency reported, to “ensure that weapons and other supplies are delivered to the moderate forces whom the United States supports.”
An official announcement from the White House or the Pentagon is expected later on Friday.
According to CNN:
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.
The announcement for military escalation comes as Russia, the U.S., and other regional powers, including Iran, met in Vienna, Austria to initiate a new round of diplomatic efforts aimed at ending Syria’s civil war and countering the rise of the Islamic State in both Iraq and Syria.
Since President Obama first announced the bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria in 2014, critics have warned that such tactics would likely lead to “mission creep” in the two countries. As the number of troops in Iraq has steadily grown over the last year and a half, this will be the first acknowledge presence of U.S. soldiers in Syria—a country which the U.S. has not officially declared war against.
