American boots on the ground will be seen in Syria


US President Barack Obama had, in the past, talked about not sending American boots on the ground in Syria but, the situation has changed and it is becoming difficult to rein in the activities of the ISIS in Syria - hence, a team of 50 specialist troops will be dispatched there.
The United States has, obviously, escalated its fight against the Islamic State and, the first open deployment of military boots on the ground, even as U.S. is proof of that. This even as Russian and other diplomats are pressing for a new peace effort which could hasten the departure of President Bashar al-Assad.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 31 October 2015.
The special operations troops will be sent to assist Kurdish and Arab forces in northern Syria.
Diplomats from 17 countries have assembled in Vienna and they have agreed to launch a broad new peace attempt to gradually end Syria's long civil war. Russia and Iran, strong allies of Assad,are in the team and, this attempt could mark a new and promising phase in the diplomacy.
The Syrian civil war has already killed more than 250,000 people and have uprooted more than 11 million and has led to an unprecedented refugee crisis throughout Europe.
