Seems like oil was a driving factor in this case for sure. There are competing interests that want to put a pipelines through Syria (US, Israel, international financiers that align with this block) and (Russia, Iran, on the other side). Assad blocked the western interest from building a pipeline. The purpose of arming and supporting Al Qaeda (and the Islamist Jihadists that went onto form the modern coalition of ISIS) to fight a proxy war in the region had nothing to do with Assad being a "bad guy" (an absurd premise from the get go) and everything to do with destabilizing the region to stop the competing interest from building a pipeline. This is also put forward as the reason we are in Afghanistan. Same competing interests who want to build an energy corridor the "new silk road" to the growing energy hungry China/India market.
maybe they've run out of ammo... the circle of anarchy, a truce to make some money then shopping for guns and ammo.... back to fighting.
Lee was asking about you man, it might be serious because I just overheard him saying something like "Xmas gifts are done" ? Principal's office he said he'd be at waiting for you.
What crack pipe was this idiot smoking from. The Syrian Rebels ( Al Qaeda/Al Nusra, ISIS, Islamic Front and so on) were/are terrorists. It is not like this is some big secret or the fact that finding a moderate among the rebels was like finding a needle in a haystack.
I call a spade a spade. Obama did some bad sht. Partisan hoards who want punish the messenger, on either side, are just that - Partisan hoards.
Do you have an internationally recognized standard designating the Syrian Rebels? Hmmm? Whattt? Huh? I didn't catch that? Wha-?
The vast majority of the rebels in Syria were Al Qaeda and various other groups of the same Islamist extremist ilk who coalesced in to the modern incarnation of ISIS.
You should spend some time thinking on that to catch up with my standard remark. I know you can do it... Yes you can...
It's because you don't get it. Here's a little brain enhancer: www.chesstempo.com They got the best database ever. You can find games as old as mid 1800. Actually you can find the one in the movie called Holmes, Game of Shadows. P.s Don't let Scarl know about this as she might feel obligated because some database is involved. You're welcome...
