(Washington Post) Liz Sly and Karen DeYoung - U.S. commandos are accompanying the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as they push toward Manbij in Aleppo province, backed by intense U.S. airstrikes, Col. Chris Garver, a U.S. military spokesman, said Wednesday. Capturing Manbij would sever a vital supply route, cut off militant fighters and further squeeze the Islamic State in the Syrian city of Raqqa, Garver said.
