Pentagon to Admit There Are 2,000 U.S. Soldiers inside Syria
------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the Pentagon is slated to announce in the coming days that
there are already 2,000 US soldiers inside Syria. The Pentagon has
previously claimed there are only 500 US soldiers inside Syria. This
comes as the U.S. is reportedly ending its strategy of arming Syrian
Kurdish fighters, who were the main on-the-ground fighting force in the
months-long US campaign that pushed ISIS out of Raqqa. Turkey has
opposed the US backing of the Syrian Kurds.
