Speaking in an interview with Foreign Affairs Magazine, Syrian President Bashar Assad said he thinks the US airstrikes in Syria should be governed by some sort of formal agreement between the two nations.
Though the US nominally seeks regime change, the US airstrikes against ISIS and other rebels have been hugely beneficial to the Assad government, and have allowed them to retake some territory in recent months.
Assad said that his government was ready to cooperate with the US on terrorism, and to coordinate so that Syrian troops could be involved on the ground as US airstrikes hit ISIS.
Despite being on the same side in the war, the US doesn’t want to officially cooperate with the Assad government, and has instead chosen to use intermediaries to ferry messages back and forth.
And this message business the crown jewel of the stupidity of US foreign policy. We are led by a coterie of buffoons, chief among them John Kerry. Maybe Kerry will invite ISIS' BigDaddy to address Congress. That's next.
Take it from Putin, Bashar, there's no sense in talking or trying to get an agreement.
Do we really think the US is even nominally on the same side as Assad?
We're clearly on the ISIS side of things. I suppose that at some level DC (which is to say Tel Aviv) is hoping that some combination of Islamic fanatics will knock out what remains of the Syrian government, and that eventually after a major body pile up the presently non-existent "moderate" (subservient) rebels can be installed to control the dozen remaining living Syrians.
The US is essentially on genocide's side.
Diane Feinstein wants US special forces in Syria. I wonder what she has planned!
