Charles Krauthammer said Tuesday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that
Obama's plan to send 1,500 more non-combat troops into Iraq to fight the
Islamic State is an "inevitable step" not "mission creep" into Syria, adding
he believes Obama has no intention of doing anything serious in that
country.

"Look, this is an inevitable step," Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist and
Fox News contributor said. "It was one that Obama had to take. He doesn't
want to announce it. He wants to pretend there's not going to be combat, and
he's extremely risk adverse, one of the reason the troops are frustrated is
because they aren't allowed to do a lot of things they need to do."

Krauthammer added that he believes that Obama's move is not indicative that
the U.S. mission in Syria is expanding.

"It's clear that he has no intention of doing anything serious about Syria.
So that's understood. This is not mission creep, this is mission
shrinkage... That may be logical, but it's going to be a very long time," he
said.
