I haven't seen such reports. Saudi Arabia has no interest in putting troops on the ground in Iraq. It actually would be very unwelcome as Shia's see Saudi as number one source for their problems. Saudi Arabia probably wants Kurds to end attacks against Arabs but also become governing force of Mosul if it is liberated from ISIS. This way they can decrease Iranian power in the region. Just like in Syria. And this is why Iraq is reacting harshly. Iraq is client state for Iran now. Kurds will be clients of Turkey/KSA.

I've heard of something like that, but no reliable source yet. I doubt it's true. We may see an agreement with the Kurds, but Iraq is not a priority for Saudi Arabia. Syria is.

What is important for us is the borders with Iraq. It must be safe and no military buildup over there, otherwise the Eagles would make a barbecue right there.

I have read that too but no confirmed report as of yet.

Time to revive this thread I guess.

Saudi Arabia willing to send ground troops to Syria

Saudi Arabia is prepared to deploy ground troops to Syria to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) if US-led coalition leaders agree to the offer.

Saudi's air force has targeted ISIL with air strikes since the campaign began in Syria in September 2014, but the Gulf kingdom is now ready to provide ground forces to defeat the armed group, a military spokesman said on Thursday.


"Today, the Saudi kingdom announced its readiness to participate with ground troops with the US-led coalition against ISIL, because we now have the experience in Yemen," Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri told Al Jazeera.

"We know that air strikes cannot be enough and that a ground operation is needed. We need to combine both to achieve better results on the ground."

Asseri didn't elaborate on how many soldiers the kingdom could send.

The Saudi offer is expected to be discussed when the United States convenes a meeting of defence ministers from coalition countries fighting ISIL in Brussels next week.

Lawrence Korb, a former US assistant secretary of defence, said while Middle East countries have armed and supplied rebels during the five-year Syrian civil war, putting boots on the ground would mark a major shift.

He noted that it may also signal to Russia - whose air power has greatly aided President Bashar al-Assad's recent major military gains - a need to return to Geneva peace negotiations that were postponed this week.

"The fact that you will have Saudi troops on the ground fighting with the rebels against the government is a very significant escalation, and hopefully will get the Russians to these peace talks, rather than thinking they can create a mini-Alawite state in Syria," Korb told Al Jazeera.

End of ISIS? Turkey plans ground invasion of Syria as SAUDI ARABIA offers ground troops

TURKEY is planning to launch a ground invasion of Syria, Russian defence officials sensationally claimed tonight, as SAUDI ARABIA said it would join a ground operation.


The Turkish deployment, which Ankara has so far failed to confirm, could be a game-changer in the
war against Islamic State, which has spilled over from Syria to Turkey in recent months.

It came as Saudi Arabia pledged to support any US-led alliance with troops on the ground.

Saudi defence minister Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri said: "The kingdom is now ready to participate in any ground operations that the coalition (against Islamic State) may agree to carry out in Syria."

Both ISIS and Assad should be removed. Also the current government of Iraq must be dismantle.
