#2 Thats actually par for the Syrians, be it Bashir = Baby Assad, or his late Daddy-o.

* TOPIX > SYRIA FACES NEO-MUJAHIDEED STRUGGLE.

I'll say - the Hard Boyz back in AFPAK are wearing raggedy traditional Islamic wear, the Syrian Hard Boyz are post-modern le chic.

versus

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > TURKISH LEADERS: [JDP] GOVT. HAS TURNED TURKEY INTO A BASE FOR TERRORISM, + Imperialism.

PM Erdogan attempting to enforce a unilateral PRO-TURKIC/KEMALIST "GREATER MIDDLE EAST" AGENDUM???

* SAME > TURKISH ReSIGNED OFFICIALS: ERDOGAN IS TOOL WHOM IS CARRYING OUT THE PROJECTS OF SUPERPOWERS, not Turkey's interests.

* SAME > TURKEY TO STAGE [Aegean]MARITIME EXERCISES UNDER IRANIAN SUPERVISION | IRANIAN FORCES TO OBSERVE TURKISH MILITARY EXERCISES.

* TOPIX > IRANOLOGIST: AZERBAIJAN ARMY TOO WEAK TO DEFEND PIPELINE, REGION DURING [any]IRAN-AZERI WAR, IRAN ONLY NEEEDS 10% OF ITS ARMY TO REACH [take] BAKU.

* SAME > IMF ASKS CAUCASUS + CENTRAL ASIA TO CREATE MORE JOBS, espec to deter or defeat Rising Islamism among the youths + working-class [males].

#3 The thing that gets me about this is "Where do you expect them to be withdrawn too?"

I assume that it's expected that all the troops and weapons be stored in a warehouse/base somewhere and just allow the rebels to have freedom of movement and freedom to fire but c'mon that's ridiculous. This is a civil war, either pick a side and help of shut up and leave them alone.

Already picked a side. And are helping it. But the narrative must be preserved.

#5 Grom - I pick whoever is losing at any given moment as the one to quietly help.
