ft.com The US is to send special operations forces to fight on the ground in Syria, potentially pitching American soldiers into the line of Russian fire in the region and signalling a significant shift in strategy for the White House in its fight against Isis. A senior administration official told the Financial Times that the White House had agreed to a plan to send a small force — no more than 50 — to deploy in northern Syria to bolster rebel forces there who are fighting both Isis and the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad. ........................................................ News of the new US military commitments comes as all of the foreign powers currently embroiled in Syria’s war gather for the first time together in Vienna to attempt to find a political solution to end the bloodshed, which has now entered its fifth year. Negotiations are expected to focus on how to mediate peace talks, such as agreeing which Syrian opposition factions should take part and, more crucially, reaching a consensus on the fate of Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s president. Both Russia and western powers seem to be considering a transition period that could lead to the president’s exit. There is little optimism that an agreement will be reached soon. But the impetus to push for one is growing among foreign powers as Europe grapples with a spiralling refugee crisis and Russia seeks to limit its military intervention on Mr Assad’s behalf.
