“we already have our CIA in there and now they are considering giving the training of the “rebels’ to the Pentagon—special ops...just read it in WSJ...HUH?
don’t special ops wear “boots”?”

“don’t special ops wear “boots”?”

You are making too much practical sense. The slippery eels don’t count special ops as “American troops.”

I posted before (but haven’t been able to find the link for substantiation) that there is a plan on the drawing board to send special ops into Syria to “secure the chemical weapons.”

Insane madness [redundancy intended], but ask yourself, How will it be possible to secure chem weapons without “boots on the ground.” Kerry/Obama adm fudge by saying we will take out Assad’s chem delivery system. Absurd. Even the rebels have a delivery system. We are being punked on this point.

I am a military strategy/tactics illiterate, but I heard an interview with a military expert. He said that without a serious force on the ground that there is no way possible with the weapons we have in the theatre that we can take out chem weapons without gassing the public. At the very least , such a feat, he said, would require bombs of such a high degree of heat not deliverable by Tomahawk. (I think that is what he said).

I will try to find that link to the interview also.

I am such an illiterate on these matters, I wouldn’t even comment EXCEPT for my outrage at the extend to which we are being lied to and flimflammed.

Re: Syria, the Obama adm has at least 3 shell-games going on simultaneously, and you put your hand on one of them

thanks for your comments. It is hard for us “strategy/tactics illiterates” to keep up with the shell game in front and the covert ops in the background...Does anyone believe our govt anymore?

What a charade these televised “debates” are!
