Since the regular troops --- close to 4,000 of them --- will remain mostly as "advisors" and trainers for Iraqi and Kurdish militaries, inside mostly military bases..... US SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES, therefore, are the only way to go, when you put small, kill-any-one-on-sight operations inside ISIS strongholds in both Iraq and Syria... as seen by the DELTA FORCE last week, to rescue those 70 prisoners from Hawija prison...

And I've been saying for over a year now... simply treat this as a TERRORIST engagement, NOT as a full blown war... since there are no more than 20,000 to 40,000 terrorists who string themselves very lightly across vast lands from Iraq and Iran's borders all the way to Latakia and Turkey...

Special operations forces of 100 to 200 groups should be able to take on the absolute majority of these ISIS gatherings and hide outs; and then move on to the next target, and so on... so we don't have to stay on the ground as usually must be done, in full blown war invasion acts...

These SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES, of course, don't need to be on their own. They should go with well trained special operations forces from the Kurds, like this last week, from the Iraqi army, from other trusted allies like Jordan (whose pilot was burnt alive in a cage, broadcasted to the world, so they are more determined than any other nation there), like the Saudis, who are on the uppermost mind of ISIS who want to bring down the ruling families in Saudi Arabia...

WASHINGTON -- President Obama announced on Friday that he had ordered several dozen Special Operations troops into Kurdish-controlled territory in northern Syria to assist local fighters battling the Islamic State, authorizing the first open-ended mission by American ground forces into the country.

While the deployment was small in scale, it was large in import for a president who until now had refused to send American ground troops for any sustained operations into a country devastated by more than four years of civil war. But with the fight against the Islamic State stalled, Mr. Obama concluded that a change was needed.

But, per Mr. Obama's usual friendly telegraphing manner, he told ISIS: even though I will send some troops over, formally stationing them ON THE GROUNDS, as in "boots on the ground," don't worry, he assures ISIS and Al Qaida, way ahead of time...

It's gonna be just 50 SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES!

Don't freak out, if you haven't already by now, after 12,000 missiles, bombs, etc. from the sky!

50 solidiers, albeit special ops, ain't gonna hurt you too badly, Obama assures ISIS and all their friends.

What a sigh of relief!

It's always nice, these days, to have your enemies tell you exactly how many troops they gonna field against you, way ahead of time, and where they gonna go! LOL

I love Mr. Hussein Obama. This man is a military genius, just one grade below Sun-Tzu himself!

Mission Creep creeping



More special ops forces going to the Mid East. So, eventually, we gonna have close to 10,000 American boots ON THE GROUND in Iraq and Syria, alone.

Kurds in both Syria, like in Kobani, and norther Iraq, Kurdistan, already noted that there's been quite a few American-looking special operations forces among them, as they train and fight ISIS.

The joke has been that there reason there hasn't been American "boots on the ground" is that most of those soldiers are wearing sneakers!

As a gun and bible loving, God fearing, peaceful religious Cons, I wish this spineless President would send in 20,000 American troops and MAKE the Turks and Saudis and Qataris and all other Gulf States contribute tens of thousands, too, saying, with a righteous finger pointing at them: You either do it our way, as we tell you, OR NO MORE WEAPONS AND FIGHTER JETS coming your way.

Let them buy Russian and Chinese weapons and fighter jets, if they want.

But once a REAL MAN like Ben Carson or Donald Trump assumes office at the White House, you gonna see, we gonna kill them all. All of them. Just bomb the hell out of them and incinerate the whole place, through carpet bombing, so there won't be any more converting into these Islamists again in the future.

We gonna kill them all, whether it is 20,000 or 50,000 or 500,000 or 5M or 500M... if they don't bow and submit to God and us, righteous Christian nations and the good guys, we have the means and will to kill then all, using all means at our disposal!

And then as the Great Man Donald Trump, future-president Donald Trump, said: bomb the shit out of them and TAKE THE DAMN OIL; that's what you sacrifice so much form ain't it? Why not take the damn oil, once you've bombed the shit out of these Islamist Middle Easterners?

Put barb wires around those oil fields and signs saying: AMERICAN PRIVATE PROPERTIES, NO TRESS PASSING, OR YOU WILL BE SHOT DEAD... and all of them should be the message!
