UAE to deploy special forces, jets in anti-Daesh campaign

BRUSSELS: The UAE wants to deploy commandos to help train forces fighting Daesh terrorists and will resume its contribution to the US-led air campaign, Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said Friday.
Carter met top UAE officials in Brussels following a landmark summit of anti-Daesh coalition members to discuss ways to step up the 18-month fight against Daesh in Iraq and Syria.
“They indicated to me their willingness to do more, which is important, specifically to re-start their participation in the air campaign, secondly to work with us on the ground,” Carter said.
UAE special operations forces would help train and advise — as well as arm — anti-Daesh forces in Syria and local partners in Iraq, including Sunni groups and the Kurdish Peshmerga. Carter did not say how big the force would be.
“What is needed in the Sunni parts of Iraq is capacity among moderate Sunnis to re-occupy and govern that territory and keep a multi-sectarian Iraq together,” Carter said. “The Emiratis can be an important part of that.”
Saudi Arabia too has promised to step up its anti-Daesh efforts. Like the UAE, it took part in early strikes after the campaign began in mid-2014.
The continued fight against Daesh comes as world powers met in Munich on Friday and agreed an ambitious plan to cease hostilities in war-racked Syria.
But the Munich accord will not apply to Daesh and Al-Qaeda’s local branch. “There is no cease-fire in the war against Daesh,” Carter said. “Be clear about that.”

One simple answer, Why Iran and Asad engage FSA in Syria rather than ISIS? The first priority of engagement in any conflict is the direct rival which is FSA for Asad/Iran in Syria and Hauties for KSA in Yamen.

Elite member with this much lack of information? weird...
Haven't you seen the SAA advances in eastern parts of Aleppo where isis is in control ?
haven't you seen Iranian militants fighting isis in Iraq for over a year ?
haven't you seen the recent attacks of Saa on a road to Raqqa which some sources say that they are less then 50 kilometer to raqqa ?
If you have difficulties in figuring out or want proof just reply me.

Al Nasra is as effective as AQAP in Yamen. AQ is now history, the splinter cells like ANF or AQAP are just bunch of ex-AQs trying to maintain their identity. ISIS is the new order of the day and far far bigger threat than anything else in Syria.
