Hmm. I wonder if the “rebels” will fire on US soldiers helping in this unwise mission?

That’s a low-ball number, like all initial government estimates for ‘cost’. Never mind there will be people shooting at the troops the whole time. And what gives with the troop count anyway? I thought a shot over the bow or a drone or two, ala Great Leader was what was going to happen.

Part of the reason why they have been trying to rid themselves of all Christian influence in our military.

Thats a low-ball number Easily.
We should also keep in mind that the ObamaBots in the military will tell Herr Leader what they think he wants to hear. I have very little confidence in anything the Obama run Pentagon says. These are the same people that put a lying Marine before congress to discredit his subordinate officer in order to protect traitors in the WH and the State Dept.
Knowing absolutely nothing of the intel they are privy to, I'd double that number as a starting point. How many troops will be needed when the region goes up in flames because he put troops there in the first place? This will snowball in a very big and very ugly way.

So Zero has planned on going into Syria before this memo came out.
But how much before?

It would be interesting to know what the troop level the Soviet military estimated would be required to “secure” Afghanistan in 1980. And how long they thought it would take.
And did they tell the civilian leaders what they really thought?

Remember when Clinton said US troops would be in Bosnia until Christmas...?
And US troops are STILL there.

Some from taxes the rest we're borrowing from new world order.
We're already into new world order for $17 trillion.

Obama's administration is continuing conversations that started under the Bush administration at least as far back as 2006, not counting undocumented conversations.
New world order calls the shots, this would be going on regardless of who was President.

.... Hmmmmmmmm .... I wonder if this is a new revelation or just a retread of old news.
.... If I am not mistaken, troops were being moved into position early this year and not to mention high level meetings that took place with Jordanian authorities for a possible incursion into Syria. At least that is what boots on the ground over there told me. Maybe they are just mistaken. However ..... This was also confirmed by news reports a few weeks later.

When Syria was the major supplier of arms and fighters for the Iraqi insurgency, there was some planning for a possible intervention into Syria (2005 or 2006). It might have been related to that.

This is ridiculous. Let’s start a right wing “anti war” movement and go recruit all the college kids to “fight the man”. Turnabout is fair play!
To: Nachum; zot
Sounds like a low-ball figure.

Suppose a few nukes starting exploding. Every country on Earth would call for the UN to come in and stop the madness. There’s your one world government. Compliments of the Bushes, Clinton, obama and “leaders” of congress since 1988.
