    The idea is one of several ideas the Pentagon is considering after President Donald Trump gave defense officials until the end of the month to come up with proposals to speed up the war against Islamic State.

    A U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the United States already had a small number of special operation troops in Syria. The official added that the review was still underway and no options had been presented to Trump.

    CNN said the proposal was not fully developed and was one of several ideas being considered.

    “special operation troops” (like “spies”?) is one thing. But open conflict potentially with Russia is a lunatic risk with no upside.
