For the first time through the two-year old Syrian conflict, the United States has mentioned the holy cow – “boots on the ground”. The Secretary of State John Kerry has pleaded that the US Congress should approve the use of American ground troops although the Obama administration may not intend to take recourse to such action.
This is a hugely significant turning point in the fast-developing scenario of US military intervention in Syria. There was added poignancy that Kerry was speaking at a congressional hearing on Tuesday with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, seated beside him.

Being member of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community I would like to warn the trigger happy leaders of the world that the founder of community had foretold something will occur in Syria which might lead to world war. Few might laugh at this point but who knows what is next in stock of the Nature. Hope those making decisions for the world and mankind will think many times before committing this mistake. Struggle for survival makes the man mad. Neither Saddam nor Qaddafi had the WMD. Studying the nature of Assad one can expect any thing from this robust man. So be careful while analysing different options lest it becomes too late to repent.
Seems the USA has too much money to waste, again. Or will they just keep printing the $$$$ ?
