Obama Shamed in to ISIS Fight by Putin
Obama is finally taking limited steps to at least give the appearance of participating in the War raging against ISIS Terrorists in Syria.
After Putin led the world in taking up the challenge Obama has been shamed in to action.
The number of special operations troops will be tiny, in the range of 20 to 30, said one U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to Reuters. A second source confirmed the plan but declined to provide a number.
The sources said the move, expected to be announced later on Friday, reflected a wider strategy of strengthening moderate rebels in Syria even as Washington intensifies its efforts to find a diplomatic solution to end to the four-and-a-half year Syrian civil war.
The U.S. decision comes after Russia escalated its military role in Syria in September to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Russia said it would also target Islamic State, but its planes have hit other rebel groups opposed to Assad, including groups backed by Washington.
