A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Obama expected to deploy US forces, attack warcraft to 'assist' in Syria | 30 Oct 2015 | Barack Obama has ordered up to 50 special operations troops to northern Syria, a senior administration official told the Guardian on Friday, in an apparent breach of his promise not to put US “boots on the ground” to fight Islamic State militants Russia in the country. The Pentagon has also been “consulting” with the Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, to establish a special operations taskforce, with an unspecified number of US forces aiming “to further enhance [US] ability to target Isil leaders and networks” across the Syria border in Iraq. The forces will be supported by an additional deployment of A-10 “Warthog” attack aircraft and F-15 jets to Nato's Incirlik base in Turkey, in what amounts to a major escalation of US force levels in the region.
