President Obama has authorized sending "less than 50" special operations forces to work in Syria with "local opposition" forces to "train, advise and assist" them in their fight against the Islamic State, a White House spokesman confirmed on Friday.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the troops would not serve in combat roles, but admitted that they could find themselves in harm's way, like Army Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, who perished during a special operations forces raid in Iraq last week.
"They do not have a combat mission; they have a training, advise and assist role," Earnest said. "They will not be charging to take a hill."

Says the punk boy child who has never laced up a pair of combat boots in his miserable little life.
Neither can I and I know nothing about military strategy but even I know this is stupid! Fifty is more like guarding a college football game instead of a military exercise.
Hello Obama you fool! Didn’t we try this I. Benghazi and how did that turn out.
BTW, which “reporter” is going to ask Obama how he knew Clinton’s private email address in order to exchange emails with her?!
Obama lies, he will make sure US "advisers" have the ability to down Russian aircraft.
The Russians will target ISIS and US backed terrorist "rebels".
A US "adviser" will take out a Russian aircraft, Russia will shift targets, and attack with ferocity, and target any aircraft that responds to aid or extract said "advisers".
It will be on, and the Russians will not back down, as their gear has been working well so far.
No, he needs them here in America for his National Police Force.
Is Yeb a little light in the loafers. I saw a video of him standing on his tippy toes at a debate. Of course he never wore combat boots either.
A couple of military experts were just on CNN saying 100,000 would be needed to do the job right.
Do we even have 100,000 left to send any more?
I see you're acquainted with Obama's ancestry.
That’s sounds like a terrible idea.
God Help Our Soldiers and please keep them safe!
He was just daydreaming that he was in heels.
You must not doubt the One.
Questions?
Well, something is sure up, and I hate to say it but that scenario makes as much sense as any at this point.
Puff puff indeed... if not snort snort... or huff huff...
Actually, troops on the ground are necessary for defeat, capitulation, withdrawal and payoff. See: Mogadishu.
No reporter alive today... (next question, LOL)
Fifty is just enough to put one or more guys out there in a small group to get them killed.
Then he’ll game the situation, which nobody will buy off on.
Who does he think is supporting him now.
Supporters of the military don’t.
Those that hate the military won’t.
This is a ploy that will never gain traction.
Sounds rational to me. I agree with your thoughts.
They are already there and already engaged , This is merely a politically oriented statement . Yet ANOTHER thing we should not be telling the world . Just let them do their thing
Maybe as a pretext to get us into a shooting war with Russia?
Got it!

Looking over the fence...
from the outside in...
We should complete the transforming of America to a third world country by having a military coup.
See how that MoFo likes that.
Maybe we need Egyptian Military Advisers in the Pentagon, assuming Obama and the DemonRats haven't compromised every flag officer in the US Military.
