Grab some popcorn.

Bomb catchers?

[2banana]

They are already there...for years (my guess)

[DuncanWaring]

Embedded with ISIS?

[Wilderness Conservative]

In direct conflict with Russian forces? Not good, not smart, not justified.

[Vermont Lt]

What could possibly go wrong?

Our guys coordinate with Spetnaz, right?

[Yashcheritsiy]

Er, believe it or not, Putin is actually correct when he said that other countries can’t send troops to Syria without the Syrian government’s permission.

Like Assad or not, he IS the leader of Syria, and Syria is a sovereign, autonomous nation.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Embedded with ISIS?

Dude. That’s COLD.

(and I *hope* you’re wrong, although I’m not betting against you. ;-< )

[McGruff]

Why? Why put our best and brightest into this hell hole that will end up like Libya or Iraq? For what purpose?

[kjam22]

Embedded with ISIS?

Probably....

[DuncanWaring]

I’m hoping I’m wrong too, but there’s nothing too depraved for The Won.

Do we even know who the “good” guys are anymore?

Are they supposed to be against Assad, or defend him?

Or are they just fighting ISIS? Like they have name tags.

[SpaceBar]

For what purpose?

Easy. Get them killed, then use their deaths as propaganda to get us into a hot shooting war with Russia.

[Sacajaweau]

Ba*****

[pgkdan]

Do we even know who the “good” guys are anymore?

Arab Christians and Israeli Jews. The rest can be nuked for all I care.

[jsanders2001]

ISIS backup because they are getting slaughtered by people who are armed and can actually fight back.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

I think back in the Viet Nam-era, LBJ called this "Escalation."

But somehow, Republicans got the blame for that war.

Col. Hunt wason with Howie Carr yesterday. He said that now that the Russian have done the “Wet Work”. We are with the Russians.

[Dallas59]

To fight and kill Russians?

[wrench]

You are correct.

Was mentioned several years ago US SF entering through Jordan. Cover was a “joint exercise”, except the US forces did not return to base, still “exercising”.
