Rebels from the Islamic Front, a Syrian faction which has ties to al-Qaeda leadership, are expressing support for US airstrikes against ISIS, which they consider a rival in the ongoing civil war in northern Syria.
“I hope they bomb them and not a single one is left. Those people are not Muslims, they are infidels,” declared one of the rebels. The Islamic Front includes factions which the US began arming after the Free Syrian Army (FSA) began losing ground, as a next-best ally.
The Islamic Front is accusing ISIS of “stealing the rebellion” from them, which is remarkable because it wasn’t so long ago that the FSA was saying the same thing about the Islamic Front.
At least in this particular part of Syria, they see US strikes as something they can cash in on in their ongoing territorial battle with ISIS, though ISIS has so routinely and soundly defeated them in direct conflict it is hard to imagine the US strikes really turning the tide.
Rather, the Islamic Front’s hope seems to be that with continued escalation the US will eventually end up installing them as a new regime in the region, though the US has such a history of changing its mind about who they’re backing in the country it seems a questionable thing to bank on, and there are no shortage of other, even more minor rebel factions the US might pick as the “right” choice for northern Syria.

Convicted Criminals Serve as “Freedom Fighters” in Syria: Saudi, Pakistani and Iraqi Prison Inmates Replenish Al Qaeda Ranks
Acknowledged by the NYT, the prison breakouts are part of the recruitment of jihadists to serve in the Syrian insurgency. What is not mentioned, however, is that the recruitment of mercenaries is coordinated by NATO, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar with the support of the Obama administration…
In Saudi Arabia, however, there were no breakouts: criminals serving jail sentences were released from the kingdom’s prisons on condition they join the Syrian jihad…
Among those released from prison and recruited in Saudi Arabia were inmates from Yemen, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Jordan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan, Iraq, and Kuwait… http://www.globalresearch.ca/convicted-criminals-…
Lets see if I have this right,
Your stating that Assad is in support of ISIS and the like even though the Assad family has been fighting these guys for better than 40 years?
If this is the case, I suggest that you are a major part of the misinformation !!!!

Syria is a sovereign nation and the USA nor any other nation has any right to carry on acts of war inside it's borders. I suggest that people do unto others as they would have done unto them.
Consult and coordinate with the Assad administration to work together to remove ISIS with the agreement to remove the CIA from Syria and quit supporting the destabilization of Syria.
