| US Special Forces already "working" in Syria |

| I actually gleaned this bit of info from a Howard Dean suppoter’s blog. He was attempting to pass this wonderful news off as something negative of course. It’s from the Guardian: US special forces teams are already behind the lines inside Syria attempting to kill foreign jihadists before they cross the border, and a group focused on the "neutralisation" of guerrilla leaders is being set up, according to sources familiar with the operations. |

| #6 1. Maybe. Wonder about the al-guardians source on this though. Remember Debka saying the Spec ops guys were running like half of Iraq months before the war. Well Debka was wrong. There is some tendency to overestimate what Spec ops can do. (they can do a lot of course, but not everything attributed to them) 2. If they are doing this, is it hard for Syria to complain, since theyd have to admit there are jihadis there? Conspiracy of silence? Maybe even Syria wants this, to avoid become a US target cause of the Jihadis? 3. Maybe disinfo, to scare the jihadis and push them to other routes? |

| #4 I think the Guardian article was posted on Rantburg a couple of days ago? So, did the Dean crowd like the idea,too? |

| #3 The writing's on the wall, as they say. Anyone with eyes should be able to see....yada yada. Were the futures board still available to me, I'd have a tough time deciding whether to put my wage on before - or after the election. |
