Please Ignore The Freudian Slip: Pentagon Backtracks, Denies US Special Forces Are In Syria
When NBC reported earlier that DoD confirmed US special forces were on the ground in Syria "assisting Kurdish forces in fight against ISIS" it crashed the entire carefully-structured US diplomatic narrative. Not that US spec ops are or are not on the ground in Syria - of course they are - but just like with the Russia/Ukraine escalation and even the Greek negotiation with Brussels, the question has always been one of PR spin: who will be the first to admit responsibility for upcoming escalation and who will be stuck with the blame if the 'worst case' scenario were to unravel.
As such US admission would then permit Russia to admit its own troops are on the ground in Syria, "purely to fight ISIS of course" and nothing to do with protecting their vital interest, i.e., Syrian territorial sovereignty from being used by Qatar gas pipelines, in the process setting off the next stage of pre-war foreplay, one in which both sides officially admit they are on the ground, if not to challenge ISIS, then certainly to use the Assad presidency as a proxy smokescreen for whatever comes next.
Which is why we were counting the minutes until the scrambling Pentagon would vehemently deny the NBC report. The answer: just under 4 hours.
Which incidentally may be the first official "please ignore the Freudian slip" excuse in Pentagon history.

Lies
Spetznatz got your tongue?
"Why Mrs. Teasedale, I've been looking for you all afteroon"
Dear CENTCOM
What about non-military US personel ?
Again, I can't help but point out the similarities to Vietnam. Syria = Cambodia. "We were never there."

This is the exact reason why when I fart and get called out on it, I don't bother denying it.
well don't forget that in 2012 the Pentagram made lying and propaganda to the American public legal to do. I think that was their attempt to boost credibility. lol
Bingo. Smith-Mundt act of 1948. Look it up.
No balls to face Spetsnaz :) ?
Panama, central sfrica, all over south east asia, just to name a few
More truth from .gov. How long before this is retracted?
http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-09-16/white-house-refugee-pla...
Wednesday at the White House, the most senior national security officials will discuss raising the limit on the number of refugees from around the world allowed to enter the United States -- from 70,000 this year to 85,000 next year and 100,000 in fiscal 2017
Global redistribution bitchez.
Tel-Aviv Is Pleased...
Don't forget Texas. There's still a buch of 'em in Texas.
It sounds more like an update, there are no US Special Forces anymore in Syria... somebody might have kicked their butts out.
sorry, what we meant to say was the US Extra Special Forces...
I think you meant US Exceptionalist Special Farces
Special? Like the special kids that ride on the short bus?
Maybe they are relying on the UK 'Special' Forces who dress up either in burqas or as ISIS depending on which stage of the propaganda cycle we are at.
Please, stop making it so interesting!
I live on ZH now.
Stupid fucks, get the hell out.
These are not the special forces you are looking for.
DoD as fucked us as the FED.
The Greater Israel Project will not include Syria.
Putin wont allow it.
Hey Gen Dempsey, which way does the wind blow today?
Or do you know?
"The Greater Israel Project will not include Syria.
Putin wont allow it."
Yeah. You'd think the Fuckwitt in Chief would have figured that after the "Red Line" debacle. Still, has to please his handlers regardless of likely outcome, right?

If the Pentagon speaks the truth, just like Obama and the NY Times, it is by mistake
It's hard to keep track of every lie.
God has a good grip on the number. Once the Zionists exceed the magic threshold, he gives them another whupping. The dumb fucks never take the hint. They always blame the goy and start all over again.
And we all know, nothing happens by accident.
The CERN demons told DoD to issue a retraction.
They're not suppose to emerge until next week on the 23rd.
They must have come out on the 23rd and traveled back in time to today to order the DoD to issue the retraction. Those sneaky BASTARDS!
This comment will disappear in 3...2...1 - er, 1...2...3??
Looks like some journalist will have an "unfortunate accident" soon
Technicality. They are CIA.

They skew data and now press releases.
This country is being fucked.
They were there before they weren't!

They're not there until the denial comes out.... right ?
What about mercenaries, sir? Are we paying non-US military contractors, and assuming that's a big ole yes, are THEY in Syria?
Bollocks!

I love the way they take a cameraman along to film them in glorious action.
One more time, darlings and with feeling.
I think I have deceit fatigue.
I have found that this unfortunatly leads to a bad case of 'cynicism' if not treated properly.

Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.
So they do and don't know where they are...
As long as we don't open the box, we can believe in both or neither.
Maybe they are not US military special forces, but they could very well be ex-special force US mercenaries paid for by the Saudis or even the CIA.
Some reporter in Damascus was interviewed by NPR the other day and to their shock said Assad's soldiers are not only very well equipped but are in high spirits. He also siad the situation on the ground is confusing becuase it is not longer a 'civil war' but a grab by many nations for the nation of Syria. he said there's too-many-to-count militias, Russians troops, ISIS fighters, USA troops, Saudi soldiers, Kurds, rebels, A-Queda and others all fighting Assad and each other.
Plenty.
Bullshit how could anybody make a mistake like that? Yea we have troops on the ground...no wait a minute no we don't my bad, I meant we don't have troops on the ground there.
The troops were all commanded to jump into the air at the very instant the press release was issued. So technically there were no boots on the ground.
Sounds like they have so many underhanded black ops going at this time its hard for them to keep track.

Dear Pentagon, The American public is numb to war and has a bad case of Biber brain. The only one listening to your lies is Vlad who is rolling on the ground in pains of laughter.
is there a border fence to jump over?
That depends from where to where..
Ron Paul warned us in the Debates in 2011 about the fence used to hold us IN. Still a work in progress, impeaded by politics as usual.

It was the ultimate Freudian Slip. What he meant to say was "Honey, please pass the orange juice." Instead what came out was "You fucking bitch, you ruined my life."
This whole thing reminds me of Clear and Present Danger. Do we have special forces in Syria? The world is grey Jack.
Don't worry, this is a simple misunderstanding. This man is a General in the US Military. He is not going to lie to the US Congress. His words were misinterpreted by reporters and bloggers. Its easy for such laypeople to misinterpret experts. Thats why we need to leave the important things to government experts in the Military and the Fed, and do our part to consume and drive the economic recovery.
(Fill in the name of any Presidential candidate) said he would need to consult the military before staking out a position.
If your favorite Presidential candidate has uttered these words, will you still vote for him? Bonus points for multiple consultations on any number of given topics...
Should've just quoted Vinny, "Everything that guy just said is bullshit."
Nearly 160 US soldiers arrived from Kuwait aboard to the Habbaniyah air base, east of Ramadi western Iraq, yesterday to participate in the operation to recapture the city from Daesh.

If we are assiting Kurdish forces against ISIS, we could end up killing Turks who are assisting ISIS against the Kurds. Maybe Russia should back off and see if the Turks and US end up killing each other.
Putin has been doing a zen-patience kind of thing that equates to feeding us enough rope. We are just stupid enough to get in a shooting match with the Turks over ISIS, and if that happens, it will make Putin look like a geo-political genius.
Or looked at another way, he is the straight man and we are the clowns, and all he has to do is watch us make our pratfalls. Maybe shrug or raise an eyebrow, but that is about it . . .
Did ZH crash the CENTCOM website? Just went to their press release section, and the old Page not Found comes up.
It's because they told a lie to cover up the first lie, and now they have to figure out a new lie to cover up the second one, before they can post the page with the latest approved lie on it. Clear?
Seems to me they should have just left well enough alone after the first lie. Now they are saying in the press release above that they have a "coordinating relationship" with "anti-ISIL forces." That was surreal enough to crash their whole website. Who exactly are the anti-ISIL forces that we coordinate with? The Iranians? The Kurds? Or the Syrian army fighting for Assad? It makes my head spin.
Folded neat and slid into a memory hole at the Ministry of Truth.
Big Brother is watching.
I guess you'll have to watch RT to know the truth.
...lol ... What, RT as a "No spin zone" ... that's funny ....
Shhhh, don't let Putin know.
We lied to some folks.
..... and killed a bunch more ...
"... The only option open to the US will be to dump the IS altogether and bury the project to manipulate militant Islamist groups as an instrument of its regional policies and to further its containment strategy against Russia. But then, it is not so easy to kill one’s own progenies ..."
That's the view from India, and most of the rest of the world.
But not the Chosenites. This shit will have no end until they are brought down.

There are so many fingers in the pie over in the Middle East, does anyone know what is really going on? What a CF....
They're joining the Canadian Forces that have been actively training the Kurds.They're being trained by NATO.Canadians have been very open for a long time about their activities there.Who else is with the Canadian Army training,most likely everybody else in NATO too.
