BEIRUT (AP) — Syria's foreign minister on Monday criticized neighboring Jordan, which recently stepped up air strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria, and said his country does not need outside help in battling IS militants.

Walid al-Moallem also told reporters that Damascus will not accept Jordanian or other foreign ground troops crossing into Syria to fight the Islamic State group.

There has been no mention of any international troops offering to go into Syria to fight IS.

I wouldn't trust anything the Syrian government says since it needs to project the illusion of strength.

Then again so does ISIS.
