American troops to enter Syria through the back door?

After saying over and over again that he does not want to put troops on the ground in Syria, President Obama may have to put troops on the ground in Syria to secure its chemical weapons stocks (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).
Pentagon Press Secretary George Little gave a vague answer when asked if U.S. troops were prepared to assist should an international agreement allow Russia to take control of the tons of chemical weapons believed to be in the stockpiles of President Bashar al-Assad.
"I'm not going to speculate on who may or may not be participating in a process that may or may not take place," Little said. "We've got to see where the process goes" before the U.S. military considers involvement, he said.
For all of you who applauded the agreement with Russia over Syria's chemical arms, would the need for US troops on the ground make you reconsider?

What could go wrong?

Carl, for the life of me, I cannot figure out what you guys actually want.

Sunlight,

I don't know what everyone else here wants, but this describes what I want:

The engineers need to do this, not the Obama/Hillary2016 advocates.

Right... so 1) neutralizing the chemical weapons, which DTRA seems to have launched an effort to do and who will send it viral so people clamor to make *it* the task, not helping O/H2016/KhmerRouge Kerry Democrats overturn yet another country into the lap of MB, AlQ (who killed 3,000 of us), AlS, etc.

2) contain the war in Syria? But don't we want to get Iran's nukes? Isn't that WAY more important than tying down the O's hollowed out US military in Syria for the next 10 years?

3) Prevent Iran Moscow AlQ from benefitting? Iran & Moscow are status quo in charge of Syria now, right? and given the willingness to be disgusting unto cannibalism of Al Qaeda, who do you suggest would keep that rabid dog cornered if you knock off the Butcher Assad (seemingly mean enough to face the Cannibals). I see zero indication in history that undermining Assad will accomplish Caroline's #3 (ref: Iran '79, Egypt '12, Libya'12, ) Watch Nonie Darwish. She explains it. http://youtu.be/J2BeXnk_Sxw

Just asking,

And furthermore, Obama's lifetime "strategic interest" is to install the Muslim Brotherhood, AlQ, etc. everywhere he can and to create chaos and collapse in the US so that we become less capable in facing down the commies and the caliphate.

That explains EVERY action he takes.

We know what Iran's strategic interests are, and we know how their plans relate to Israel. A simple way to look at this is we want what Iran doesn't want.

However I tend to think things will get a lot worse for our own strategic interests before they get better, and even then, only Hashem can save us. I think its best for Israel to continue trying to help the sick and injured as we have done, while taking action only against immediate threats such as Syrian arms going to Hezballah.

We should remember that we cannot control the White House any more than we can control Russia or Iran, we can only control our own behaviour in the eyes of Hashem.
