US Invasion of Syria Begins
By Tony Cartalucci
As previously warned aboutin June of 2015, the United States has announced that it will
officially begin ground operations in Syria through the use of special
forces. The Washington Post in its article, “Obama seeks to intensify operations in Syria with Special Ops troops,” would report that:
President Obama is sending a small number of Special
Operations troops to northern Syria, marking the first full-time
deployment of U.S. forces to the chaotic country.
The mission marks a major shift for Obama, whose determination to
defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has been balanced by an
abiding worry that U.S. troops not be pulled too deeply into the
intractable Syrian conflict.
The latest deployment will involve fewer than 50 Special Operations
advisers, who will work with resistance forces battling the Islamic
State in northern Syria but will not engage in direct combat, Obama
administration officials said.
