DoD Admits US SpecOps "Boots On The Ground" In Syria
With the Russians on the ground at Latakia shoring up the Assad regime and with tensions between Washington and Moscow at a fever pitch over the Kremlin’s involvement, the Pentagon now says US boots are officially on the ground in Syria - you know, to help fight ISIS...
BREAKING: Defense officials tell NBC News that US special ops. forces are on ground in Syria assisting Kurdish forces in fight against ISIS
— CNBC Now (@CNBCnow) September 16, 2015
Of course, if true, the whole "assisting Kurdish forces" won't go over well with Turkey's Erdogan, the US's brand new coalition partner against ISIS who has made no secret of his distrust for the YPG.
Then again, there had to be some pretext for an imminent escalation with Russia and since it's all a convoluted, bloody mess at this point, "helping Kurdish forces" is just as good as any other excuse we suppose.

helping kurds fight turkey?
So when do we start bombing Istanbul?
I am so relieved!!! US forces and Russian forces on the ground in Syria to fight the dreaded ISIS. Things should be back to normal in no time.
picking a side in this shit show is a bitch.
G’day...
SpecOps meet Spetsnaz.
So, the US now admits it has boots on the ground in Syria fighting ISIS which the DOD and CIA have heretofore admitted they started (previously known as Al-Qaeda) to overthrow the Assad regime because the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf Nations want to sell their gas to the EU instead of flaming it off as well as screw Russia by taking EU market share and revenues away form Moscow who transit their gas to the EU through Ukraine whose government the US and UK overthrew to get some dudes in power who'd shut down the Russian gas to the EU which the UK is all for because then they could sell more North Sea gas to the Continent.
But be that as it may, the US is both supplying and supporting ISIS to overthrow Assad and fighting ISIS alongside the Rooskies who are there to keep Assad in power and we think the Russians are upsetting our apple cart..
Y'all are with me now, right?
Duplicity.. the American way.

""DoD Admits US SpecOps "Boots On The Ground" In Syria""
In Other Newz, ISIS in Syria Is Magically Gaining Further Ground against regime Of PM Assad...
DoD = Department of Death
DoD needs to go back to its name before 1947..
“The Department of War “
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_War
I prefer "The Department of Offense"
I smell John McCain
How do you know you're talking to an Academy Grad?
You see his overcompensating ring as he's picking his nose.
i cant wait till winter sets in.
Soon to be dead boots on the ground...
Just dispense with the false flag bullshit and announce they're gonna put boots on the ground with Syria........
Huh,.....what?.......you mean they just did!?
Nevermind.
Next to the White House there is a building once called the Old Executive Office building,before WWII, it contained the War, Navy and State Departments! Shows the hugh growth of the federal bureaucracy
Y'mean before all the various intel agencies were melded into one, the CIA?
Russian boots, American boots...whoeverthefucks boots...
Boot 'em all in the ass!
Maybe someday they will spend that money on shit we need in the US.

The US supports all kinds of terrorists and mercenaries in order to destabilize a secular regime they do not like, but do not have the balls or political will to go in there openly and do it themselves.
They have no moral high ground after what they did to Iraq and Libya.
There's a good possibility this could flare up and out of control faster than anyone expects.
"They have no moral high ground after what they did to Iraq and Libya. "
They never did. Didn't stop them, or anyone else for that matter.

Is there a diagram available or something? My head hurts.
I think your avatar just about covers it
Astute observation, Agent P!
"...the UK is all for because then they could sell more North Sea gas to the Continent..."
Nope, the Uk's gas is depleted and it now has to import gas, mostly from Norway.
But the UK is all for it, mostly because Tony B liar wanted to be popular in the US and make big bucks on the talk circuit.
And that wanker Still said the Russians are "invading" Syria despite being invited by the govrenment.
Let's see what his take is on another US invasion of a foreign country nowhere near the US.
"the Uk's gas is depleted and it now has to import gas "
Pretty much.
The UK Politicinas are all for Carbon Emissions Trading/Carbon Credit Schemes because they have been promised by Big Petroleum that they can make new fortunes stuffing carbon back down into the wells.
We'ss see how well that goes -and who pays if it doesn't work or it's discovered that everyone supporting/running the scheme is really jsut full of shit and taking bribes/divvying the profits for supposed sequestration while really just dumping/releasing the carbon out in the North Sea..
What a bunch of incompetent Hitlerite facists the CIA, U.S. State Department are.
Administrations come and go, the bureaucracy still remains. If you don't think Cheney and Rummy are still running the show in foreign policy you are out of your mind.
Knucks, you know perfectly well it's for their own good and we'll be shipping in massive amounts of rainbows and unicorn pee to counter that evil Russian made rainbows and unicorn pee......
Thanks for the succinct summary Knucks, I think you got it all in one simple sentence, and it is a relief to have it figured out. (OK, two sentences...)
Ya know, working together I bet SF and Spetz would put a whoopin on CIA, oops, I mean ISIS.
Flip a coin, it's what I do for these types of situations. Then go all in.
After all, you are on the sidelines rooting, and have no actual skin in the game.
Where did I see this before? Oh yeah, last season of House of Cards.
It's like Vietnam starting all over again in a different country.
This is a fair bit messier.
Its easier to bomb all the brown people when they hide in cities rather than hiding in jungles.
In Vietnam the US was invited to help the legitimate government of the southern half of the country. The Viet Cong (akin to ISIS, I guess) were trying to overthrow that government and had help from the government of the northern half of Vietnam.
This time Russian forces were invited in to help the legitimate government of Syria and ISIS is playing the part of the VC. The US is the country assisting in the fight against the legitimate government.
So you're correct, except the roles have been reversed. Totally FUBAR. The US shouldn't go around invading countries without declaring war. At least Reagan claimed he was rescuing some American medical students, if I remember correctly, when he invaded Grenada. Or has Obama declared Kurds to be American citizens without telling anyone?
I was in Grenada about a year after the 'Murikans "rescued" the country with "Operation Urgent Fury" (<-LOL)
Our Grenadian friends told us they were a little bit mad after that happened because on the way out the Murikan troops destroyed all the infrastructure stuff built by the Soviets, Cubans. They saw that as spiteful because it would have been moar useful than piles of rubble everywhere.
The last time the US formally declared war was on June 5, 1942,when the US declared war on Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary!
Have to keep the MIC running 24/7...it's the only manufacturing left.
Can't have any charts of sales for MIC looking like Catepillar's...
In Vietnam, the poor American saps were drafted. In Syria, these idiots volunteered to go murder people for an even more corrupt US govt though LBJ was one the of the biggest scumbags ever.
"So when do we start bombing Istanbul?"
US DoD says it's Constantinople now
And, yes. They hate us for our freedom to bomb them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgc3F1XZTAw
Byzantium.
Ankara.
Too many US tourists in Instanbul.
hell why not,just blame it ISIS.
What the problem? Someone needs to teach the tan savage how to murder like real men. USA! USA! USA!
Where's Israel in all of this? Oh that's right. ISIS, Israeli Secrect Intellegent Service.
lmao. The goal always has been to remove Assad. Tell us another fairytale DoD?
Let me get this straight we are letting Erdogan bomb our spec-ops guys embedded with the Kurds.. The US does not have interests it has cocksuckers in Foggy Bottom, CIA, DOD, DIA. Whats that, the FAC's have tight orders not to allow bombing of friendlies, yea, ok.. I happen to have this bridge for sale...
They are nothing but a fucking Rothschild Cartel Backed Morons.
Let's get it straight. Mercs on the ground, not Special OPS.
If the are employed by the GRS, they are in a limbo-like no man's land. Their actions are shielded by Uncle Sam's sovereign immunity, but there's no ceremony at Dover if they get returned in bag (unless they were stationed in Benghazi).
Being a merc is basically trading in all of the bullshit honor for more cash. Who wouldn't? All it takes is a modicum of nerve.
The dumb-fuck fascists' dupes U.S. Special Ops ar apparently murdering/bombing Syrians on behalf of Qatar who wants a market for their gas.
Hope Qatar is footing the bill instead of us taxpayers.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Quater footing the bill - THAT'S a good one!
I thought this was going to be paid for with Iraq oil sales.
Oh, wait... Wrong cock n ball regime change narrative. My bad...
Prob ex Spec Ops, now Mercs.
"My greatest flaw. I surround myself with idiots."

So the DOD has boots on the ground fighting the CIA-ISIS....., Got it.
@ Dr. ,
Yep! We have Mercs fighting the Banker funded, Armed & trained AL- CAI Duh terror organizations.
Mercs in disguise who will fire on Russian soldiers, prompting a response from Putin, turning this into a hot war that the West can blame on Russia?
Yes, on a war that the Pure Evil Psychopaths at the CIA can blame on Russia.
"So the DOD has boots on the ground fighting the CIA-ISIS....., Got it. "
As insane as that sounds it might just be closer to the truth than any of the official lies bandied about.
What if this shit is really a proxy war between various militarized bureaucracies, ALL fighting with nearly unlimited and unchecked resources absconded from the US Citizenry who are pretty much powerless to cease the funding or stop the fighting?
The whole ME situation ha reached the point where everything claimed or done is as dubious as any explanation of the JFK assassination, and just a likely an inside job or turf/fiefdom war of some kind between goon squads from 3-Letter-Agencies and/or their respective contracting arms running amok in black face...
It's fucking disgusting but seems possible. The "warrior" classes from the same sides fighting each other. How pathetic.
There has to be a parallel in history we could compare that to.
The Man With One Red Shoe with the exception of Carrie Fisher in jungle undies.
Sounds similar to the Thirty Years War. That was a shitfight too.
"My greatest flaw. I surround myself with idiots."

Catch 22
Bitches
Milo, the quatermaster who has parlayed his position into a big barter business, writes a contract with the Germans to bomb his own Unit with the Units own planes and pilots.
The Col. joins him in the control tower of the airfield and is easily convinced that only Communists would protest the completion of a contract.
Written in fifties, Heller's book was a big hit, and struck acord, if not an Symphony of truth.
I guess since we can seem to stir up a big enough shit storm we have to make up an enemy then send in the war machine to fight it.
Pure genius really for the war corporations... supplying arms and machines to both sides of a war that we created to facilitate their greed. GENIUS!
Can't believe those bastards didn't think of this sooner!
Imagine that. And all it took was a little Russian cattle prod to get them started doing what they have seemingly been unable to do for 4 years which is go after the problem instead of trying to instigate it.
Now they will look like the good guys? Can't have those evil Russkies taking the moral highground and the US the baffoons that they are. LOL
right, Russia chooses to be more directly involved(they've always been there) and forces the US to admit some things that would be hard to explain if operatives were KIA on Syrian territory.
I wonder what other confessions might arise in the future. :)
Turkey bombs SpecOps, DoD blames Russians
What could go wrong...
To the DoD... nuttin'...... It's always been the fucking plan.
"Turkey bombs SpecOps, DoD blames Russians
What could go wrong..."
Plenty. It's Putin that needs provoking, not the psychos from the US. Putin simply wouldn't respond. It'd be another MH17 fizzle.
US starts rocket strikes against Russians, blames ISIS. Now you're talking.
EDIT: Then again,"ISIS" might just then retaliate against US forces. Check again says Putin, your move.
"My greatest flaw. I surround myself with idiots."

And Russian forces are descending on Demascus....
Ahem...they're "advisors". It's on like Tonkin Kong.
Well played.
it was my understanding via ZH Rules....NEVER TRUST CNBC.
I don't even trust the Gold shilling by weekend Tyler.
Repo squad trying to steal back the US equipment ISIS is using.
Or looking for some cherry picked cunts at wholesale prices from the CIA-SIS. Can't let a crisis go to waste ya know.
"Repo squad trying to steal back the US equipment ISIS is using. '
Or, figure out exatly where ISIS really are, Russian allied really are, etc.: so that communications can be coordinated and munitions/supplies can be delivered without fear of interception/delivery to Russian allied.
I gather that it's getting pretty 'war foggy' in the theater and the desk brass are demanding better communications.
Well, now that the Russian are helping, I am sure ISIS will be licked in no time. Good news indeed!

About a week ago it was alleged US drones struck Syrian forces. Are the US special forces going to attack the Syrians also?
http://fortruss.blogspot.de/2015/09/breaking-us-drones-strike-syrian-arm...
According to the statements of high-ranking military in Syria, it was drones, and not “terrorist MiG’s” which attacked the Syrian army. This is not the first time that US forces have struck the Syrian army, hiding behind the Islamic State.
We refugeed some folks...
CNN denies any US SPECOPS in Syria. BUT *if* they ARE there, they are there to do good.
As opposed to Russian personnel of any kind, who can only be "bad."
< s i g h >
Just another day at the Ministry of Truth in Fascist AmeriKa.
Forward air controllers and laser designators are both needed for air warfare,they've been there for months
Actually according to many sources in the SPECOPs business, they have not been there. Thats why our air campaign sucks. They are afraid of collateral damage. You know, like weddings.
Russia, the compare the steppes of Ukraine in 1942 to all battles. They figure they have a ways to go before there is much collateral damage.
Are there Archduke's in Syria?
Only way this could seriously happen is if they are embedded with ISIS or Al Qaeda in Syria (Jabhat Al Nusra). The Syrian Unicorns (aka non-jihadi moderates) not only get their lunch money stolen by ISIS, they get a head lopping for their trouble
This is one big gigantic clusterfuck all started by amerisrael
"Chosenitis"
The symptoms of Chosenitis are: thinking anything you say and do, even your failures are actually very long, very costly (to your wallet and international image), very roundabout ways to success that short-term thinking peons like us just are incapable of seeing for the eventual successes they will turn out to be.
Chosenitis, if not combatted effectively, will make you as ugly and as hated as israel and could result in a wave of painful death throes - see Soviet Union
It's a tradeoff for getting into the club for Erdogan. He's always been a western tool. The rest is just posturing.
He knows that in the end the kurds are bound to get a shit deal anyway.
And kudos to the "DoD" for admitting THREE YEARS LATER that we have boots on the ground. They'd have us believe their fairy story about merely "training" fighters, and never crossing the border themselves until just yesterday? Only an infant would believe that.
Everyone we train goes to the other side.
I wonder if our Spec Ops guys will go to the other side?
Everyone we train in this manner does exactly what we've trained them for.
People don't just 'stay bought' any more than they stay at the first job that bothers to train them even marginally.
Loyalty is a stupid idea unless there is advancement.
As people learn new skills and their skill sets improve they reasonably expect better compensation and benefits.
I would be incredulous to hear any assertion that this somehow does not apply to the various arts associated with waging war.
That's not what I meant at all. None of this is about loyalty. It's about loosing the agents of chaos upon the target you wish to destroy/weaken.
The Kurds are like dumbass Charlie Brown and Lucy holding the football. Bald fucker always lands flat on his back afterwards
Glad to see the Middle East is reverting back to its natural state (total chaos).
Now, who wants Chili's for lunch?
There are now obvious divisions between the NEOCON leadership and other interest within "intelligent" organizations including the Pentagon. It is now very difficult to tell what these type of press releases mean and who is really supporting who. Other than Russia who is openly supporting Assad and is currently sending troops and heavy weapons in support of this. It should be clear Russia has the upper hand here and it seems the moral high ground as well. An alignment long since departed from corrupt western "leadership".
American Foreign Policy is crafted in Tel Aviv. Both Kissinger and Ariel Sharon said so

Not really surprised. AmeriKans said "NO!" to war in late 2013, and Obama, bless his little heart, listened to us. /sarc/
Zionistas were still determined to have their war by other means. They're exposed now as partnering with the offensive oil monarchies to support known terrorists.
A Salafi, Hebrew approved attack dog state in the M.E. whre once secular Iraq and Syria stood, giving Russia, Iran, China and anyone else who gets too uppity the shits, backed by USSA, Saudi-Israelia and the GCCs and controlling energy and energy routes seems to be the goal of the West. Keep Europe and the M.E. on permanent boil, crimping the Eurasian economic plan for a long time, maybe permanently.
#NeverForget that time Call of Duty started a game with a President named Al Assad getting kidnapped and executed on live internet stream by "rebels" in the capital.
I'd be curious what the chatter is between Xi & Putin right about now. You just gotta know they have a strategy in all this. And the 'DoD' knows it too...
Their answer is wait until we have more than one carrier in the Persian Gulf. Then unleash the Kracken.
How can they top our strategy of
lying about everything we do?
No longer a strategy. it's pathological now. They couldn't stop if they wanted to.

They need to invite the turbans in Tehran to their hoe-down. Someone is going to have to do the wet work
Russian pilots or whatever aren't going to be enough to get rid of ISIS or Jabhat al Nusra anymore than carpet bombing Iraq or Afghanistan got rid of the Taliban or the Iraqi resistors
"Haha, Xi, the Americans have pretended to fight Daesh. My fighters will go in and kill all of them."
"Let me know if you need air support, Vlad."
Joseph Heller was soooooo far behind the times when he dreamt up Catch-22. In the end, Heller only managed to get Milo to contract the Germans to bomb his own airfield. Our DoD have this shit soooooo figured out. When it's hard to pick sides... hedge your bets, pick all sides. You can't lose. US fighters flying from Turkey; US spec ops embedded with Kurdish freedom fighters; US advisors embedded with ISIS. All we're missing are the US assets who will shortly liaise with Putin's boys and voila... full coverage.
Sorry Joe. Fiction will never beat reality, no matter how hard you try.
In the end Mercans are paying. Look around at your local crime-ridden, drug-infested Third World shithole. War is for loser$; every time!
USA have always had boots on the ground, they bought the boots for Al Qaeda / ISIS / FSA / Al Nusra / Khorasan / Mama San / (...fill in the blanks...)...
Pentacon Kill Industries will go on killin' coz that's what we're good at...goddamn it...at least unless a real army is involved...oh sheet the Russians are comin'!
And have been there for over 3 years.
When the first US soldier is paraded in front of the cameras, in a slickly-produced ISIS video, I hope they understand that they might not get the "USA! USA! Rah! Rah!" reaction from as many Americans as they are hoping for.
That being said, I'm certain we WILL see something like that in the near future. And for the poor unfortunate bastard who ends up in the orange jumpsuit, I hope to hell his friends and family realize exactly how he got there, and why.
And when they realize that, I hope they DO get angry, and pissed-off. But not at ISIS, or any of the other faux 'evil threats' used to manipulate us into going to war, but at this government and its bloated military complex that chews these young people up and spits them out with no more thought than I give to trimming my toenails.
ISIS and the others like them are scum, to be sure. But lot's of people are scum, aren't they? Do we really need to be going all over the planet on some scum-removing operation?
We can start right here at home. We've enough here to keep us busy for decades.
Bath House has been importing fighters for the last several years.
At the appointed time, they will rise up against white Christians.
Americans have in general no idea about The Plans of Bath House Barry.
He and Ayers have had six years to build up an army. They will strike with complete abandon.
Arm up or die.
These People have planned for and intend the overthrow of the US Goverment.
Most Americans have NO idea of the Evil in plan for them.
White American males are dumb beasts as they cheer on Trayvon thugs in the NCAA, NFL, NBA like a bunch of fan boy sissies. They cheer on white genocide and support it with their viewership. Morons.
The US Govt was overthrown already.
Xcept for those of us who do not have TV and do not watch "sportz," Freddie.
What are you talking about? ISIS doesn't attack American (or Israeli) military targets. You don't bite the hand that feeds you
Here's another one for you!
In 2012 Putin was willing to arrange the end of Assad's rule...
THE US SAID "NO" BECAUSE IT DIDN'T GIVE THEM A SAY IN ASSAD'S SUCCESSOR.
Why is the West reporting this NOW? It is a negotiating ploy. They know they have lost. Now they are trying to see if this old offer could still be put on the table.
The West isn't reporting this. The Russian media is.
I didn't read about this in the MSM.
The US has had personnel in the area for a long time.
This will brush up against Spetznaz.
Go get'em boys. Kick some Muslim scum ass. And this time get the oil and keep it. If the Ruskies want in on the action, great we'll just share the oil with them. There's plenty of it over there.
Turn off your TeeVee for awhile..
This will be just what they needed to jump-start the price of oil...
Ah, can't have a discussion with out a little racists zionist shit thrown in. Americans PEOPLE (not our zionist government) have more in common with Muslims than we do Jews, your just spewing their racist PR.

What's racist about hating people that belong to an intolerant, violent religion? Has nothing to do with race. Has nothing to do with Israel. Muslims hate any non-believers, it's their ideology. If Muslims can't find non-believers to hate, they hate each other. Look at the ME today. Look at the world today. Can't have a discussion without some clueless dumb ass criticizing Israel or Jews can we?
Silly me. I thought the violent, intolerant religion you were referring to was Zionism. Which has become a religion
Ha...let's see the response if ISIS chops off a couple rooski heads. Seems like the beheading production has slowed down a bit...maybe that routine is getting old.
if Russia commits ground troops, it will be done right... no rinky dink operation. I I think Iran will do it... large formations. not like BS US army tactics.
ISIS will run and hide and dress like women.... ISIS will be totally overpowered and obliterated. It shall be a nice show to watch.
But will the main stream media broadcast it?, or will I have to find free Russian news channels on the Internet?
TPP allows a kill switch on the Internet. Obama won't let you read Russian anything when the fur starts flying
