The US will increase its special forces in Iraq to target Daesh in Iraq and Syria. This is an important step in the war against Daesh as US forces will be operating independently as well as augmenting Iraqi and Kurdish forces

It's all part of the mission creep . The emperor continues to pursue a strategic objective that is totally unachievable. We will not commit the degree of military power needed to ensure that Assad falls or the Islamic State is destroyed. We are not alone in this . Russia is also in danger of mission creep. Loyalist forces have made slight gains in eastern Aleppo since the Russian intervention. But they are not close to a decisive gain ,and in fact ,the so called FSA has made gains in Hama and Latakia provinces.The Russians are also gradually increasing .

What they have done pretty much is create a stalemate . If this continues ,without a prospect of a negotiated settlement;this will be a bloody sectarian civil war for years to come.

I thought that is what the last four years have been. It doesn't matter who they are no rebel force can sustain systematic pounding they will give way, but Assad doesn't appear to be in a hurry, spring will do

nah , wars aren't won in the air (unless nukes are used ). The Russians are bombing anti-Assad forces and the US generally attack pro-Assad forces. The Islamic State is not the enemy that is being targeted at this point in time.

Yes neither side appears interested in fighting that war, which begs the question is Daesh an instrument of the west. They haven't actually done Assad much harm, just upset western allies and puppet states. Daesh doesn't appear to have much interest in fighting the shiia, just securing sunni lands. Live and let live is evident with just enough action to keep the press at bey

Which means at least a Brigade sized HQs and three Bns and support and aviation to provide security for the SF footprint.

Wonder when they will admit that. Unless they believe the Iraqis will provide that support.
