US troops conduct op inside Syria?

[jmm99]

except for the classified reports which are that for good reasons.

Anyway, here is some of Mr. Bergman's take on the background:

(from Schmedlap's url)
Ronen Bergman, author of The Secret War with Iran, makes the claim in the Yediot Ahronoth newspaper, based on briefings with two senior American officials, one of whom he says until recently "held a very high ranking in the Pentagon".

Mr Bergman told Sky News the raid happened after America had lobbied Syria intensely to deal with an al Qaeda group conducting activity on the border.

The Syrians were unwilling to be seen publicly bowing to US pressure to tackle the group, he says, but in the end gave the Americans the green light to do so themselves.

He claims the Syrian government told the Americans: "If you want to do this, do it. We are going to give you a corridor and carte blanche. We will not harm your troops."

Mr Bergman maintains Syrian intelligence has been co-operating secretly with its US counterpart for some time in its war with al Qaeda. ....

We now have a Wiki page on the 2008 Abu Kamal raid.

Be interesting to see where the Sky story goes - if anywhere (... to Anonland, where the Anons cavort among the unicorns ...). Seriously, the scenario is plausible, but that does not make it probable.
