Not really 'Fake News' - this is simply Non News. Tell us we already know , then congratulate yourself on your journalistic excellence! HA!

The Defense Department might propose President Donald Trump send combat forces into northern Syria for the very first time to help defeat the Islamic State, according to news reports.

Pentagon officials are considering the option — and it is among several being weighed by the agency, CNN reported.

Defense Secretary James Mattis could present the option to the president at the end the month, in accordance with an executive order Trump signed in January calling for a plan to defeat ISIS within 30 days.

"It's possible that you may see conventional forces hit the ground in Syria for some period of time," a defense official told CNN.

However, any such move would be up to President Trump, the official said.

Send the ****ing politicians on Capitol Hill. I think the men and women in the U.S. military have done enough. I’d like to see a few wingtips and penny loafers on the ground over there.

They might stop by Obama’s old neighborhood for a certain neighbor of his on their way first.

Not really 'Fake News' - this is simply ‘Non News’!

Just a liberal’s wet random druggy dreams posing as news.

"So in conclusion: This is not even fake news! It's ‘Non News’!

How true. Non-news. One option among many is to send in troops. So, you report the administration might send in troops. Wow!

If your not gonna use B52s then don’t send ground troops ....we will just end up with rules of engagement that handcuff our troops, spend money and lose time and get Americans killed for jack shiite.

The Iranians will come in an pick up the pieces.

If anything we should start and finish a war with Iran...no holds barred. Without Iran the whole muslum terrorism thing dies.

They’ll screw this up. Too many Generals are deeply invested in the removal of Assad. US troops will be used to build a “safe zone”. Otherwise known as safe home base for rebels.

B-52s are all I would like to see. Raqqa needs to look like Dresden.

The Vietnamese took everything we had. But two weeks of B-52s over Hanoi had them running to Paris. No boots without insultingly massive firepower.

**No boots without insultingly massive firepower.**

I wholeheartedly agree. ‘Carpet’ Bombing will solve the problem...

When CNN, or anyone else, manipulates the presentation of news to make it seem like something it isn’t it’s still Fake News!

How about we just stay out of the way? Let Assad control his own country, as he has wanted to do for years.
