| Syrian gov’t allegedly holds secret meeting with US security officials: Al-Akhbar |
| 2018-08-29 |
| [AlMasdar] Syria turned down an offer from the US to withdraw their forces from Al Tanf, a US base in the southeast and the East Euphrates zone in exchange for three concessions from the Syrian government, according to a report from Lebanese daily Al Akhbar. Officials of "several US intelligence and security agencies" reportedly landed in a private UAE plane at Damascus International Airport in late June. They then took off in a convoy towards the center of Damascus for a meeting with the head of Syria’s national security office, Major General Ali Mamlouk. The meeting reportedly lasted for four hours. The sides discussed multiple aspects of the seven-year war in the country before the Americans made their offer: a withdrawal of its troops from Al Tanf and the East Euphrates on three conditions, including a complete Iranian withdrawal, a share in Syria’s oil spoils, and intelligence on terrorists. |

| #4 Note that Sputnik News is a Russian outlet. Despite being much more sensible than all their neighbours, they still are emotionally connected to the source of all things Communist. |

| #2 "I find the report almost entirely credible," former UK Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford told Sputnik News. I find Ford's speculations to be almost entirely incredible. |

| #1 More brilliance from the State Department. What a pack of morons. Why don't we recruit a bunch of used car salesmen to go do our diplomacy? They'd get better deals than these ivy league idiots. |
