NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Pentagon is debating whether to set up elite hit-squads to target leaders of the Iraq insurgency in a new strategy based on tactics used against leftist guerrillas in Central America 20 years ago, Newsweek magazine reported on Saturday.Especially the part about Syria.
One proposal would send U.S. Special Forces teams to advise, support and possibly train Iraqi squads of hand-picked Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Shiite militiamen to target Sunni insurgents and their sympathizers, Newsweek said, citing military insiders familiar with the discussions.
The squads may operate across the border in Syria, Newsweek said on its web site, but added it was unclear whether they would assassinate leaders or be involved in "snatch" operations.
It's about time.
Meanwhile, this very day, Kerry is talking to the tinpot dictator, "Beaker" Assad, as if he were someone worth talking to, instead of plugging him through the head with a bullet for directing the continued attacks on our soldiers and the Iraqi people.
Thank God he's not President!
