“Boots on the Ground” Inside Syria? The Pentagon Comes to the Rescue of the “Islamic State” (ISIS)
On October 27, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced that the Pentagon is contemplating “direct action on the ground” in both Iraq and Syria, “in an effort to combat the self-proclaimed Islamic State terrorist group.” (Sputnik, October 27, 2015).
The not so hidden agenda, however, is not “to combat” but rather
“to protect and come to the rescue” of the Islamic State terrorist
group.
What’s new? Are we witnessing a process of military escalation?
The US and its allies already have boots on ground inside Syria. It’s not official, it’s a so-called “covert operation” which everybody knows about.
The Pentagon together with NATO, Turkey and Israel, et al, have
routinely dispatched their military advisers, special forces and
intelligence operatives to the Syrian war theater. These foreign forces
have operated within rebel ranks from the outset of the war on Syria in
March 2011.
