#3 Not comfortingly smooth and sophisticated now. They’re just as evil as their Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Moslem Brotherhood jihadis elsewhere.

#9 Hopes and expectations are two very different things.

This is not the time for semantics, it's time to kill or be killed.

#10 Is it wrong to point out that the Alawites/Assad regimes have far more blood on their hands and are perhaps deserving of some pay back? I’m not rooting for either side here. It’s tough to ride that cycle of violence.

#11 You really expected something different?

No.

This is a brutal turf war between Mafia like entities.
Bugs Moran and Al Capone were mortal enemies but they also were the enemies of normal, law abiding people.

The exact ideological flavor of an Islamic totalitarian regime doesn't make a difference for the dhimmis and sub-dhimmis under its power.

Control of Syria switched from the Iranian to the Qatari sub-branch of the Iran-Qatar-Russia alliance.

What matters is that Israel weakened Syria and that certain military options Assad had were destroyed.
