senior White House official on Monday left the door open for U.S. troops deploying to Syria to conduct raids. Ben Rhodes, White House deputy national security adviser for strategic communication, said at the Defense One Summit 2015 that raids would not be the troops' "principle" function.
"The norm is not going out in raids," he said, but added, "I'm obviously not going to rule anything out."
Rhodes repeated several times that the U.S. troops deploying to Syria will not have a combat "mission."
