The Special Ops Forces that got Bin Laden, Saddam, and Zarqawi are finally being sent by the dozens to go after the Islamic State’s leaders. Can these troops turn the tide?
The Obama administration is dispatching a targeting force of elite U.S. special operations troops into northern Iraq, after top U.S. defense and intelligence officials warned the ISIS network is growing faster than the coalition that’s fighting it, senior U.S. officials tell The Daily Beast.
The new special operations task force, led by the elite Joint Special Operations Command, is aimed at denting the so-called Islamic State group’s popularity by decimating its leadership and gathering the intelligence needed to cut off more of its operations before they can launch.

About time.
Good God why is this being broadcast? Go kill them but don’t tell them how we are going to it.
If true,should we really be reading about it?
“No boots on the ground” Il Douche
Not in my opinion.
Yes, and he was going to close Guantanamo, too. And he will stay say he ended the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A guy who wears a ring engraved with Arabic characters meaning `Allahu is God and Mohammmed is his messenger’ orders our troops into ROE battle.
What could go wrong? Everything.
Its hard to know exactly what our guys will do or role theyll play.Theres a good possibility Chairman O will continue playing his shell game of war. In that case the ROI will be so restrictive the operation will be ineffective. I think this annoucement is window dressing, consumption for the media and public, why else would you do such a thing?
“If true, should we really be reading about it?”
Democrats don’t take actions for national security, they take actions to affect the world’s opinion...about them.
Bullcrap! Special Ops doesn’t want a welcome wagon and Obama just sent out the invitations!

“What could go wrong? Everything.”
I think he wants something to go wrong for our guys.
Just not sure if it’s for his own pleasure, or the moderate beheaders he supports. Does he want our guys killed so he can blame Assad, or Putin? I venture we’ll know sooner, rather than later.
Yes, they are dispatched. But will they be allowed to do much? We’ve seen the same game with bombing missions.
That’s what Trump would say. Why the hell are we telling them our plans?
For political gain would be my answer.
Is their target ISIS, or Assad?
They are special operators who infiltrate and identify and target locations for bombing and missiles.
It is a new tactic.
Obama and Joe created it themselves.
If these guys don’t get the air support they need, then they are screwed.
Obunga is setting a trap to get our guys captured and/or killed. Bet on it.
