Top European Union foreign affairs officials, including the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committeee Elmar Brok, say that the EU is now debating a shift in their policy toward the Assad government in Syria.
Brok was light on details, but said the EU is more interested in fighting against ISIS and is moving in the direction of engaging with Assad in doing that. The EU largely split with Assad early in the civil war, halting oil imports from Syria.
What Brok said next was the most telling part of this shift, urging Hezbollah, a close ally of the Assad government, to “foster a climate of political unity.” The EU currently has Hezbollah on its list of terrorist organizations.
With many in the EU, particularly Italy, currently panicking about the growth of ISIS across the region, it seems more and more likely that they will rethink their hostility toward the Assad government, which is fighting ISIS on the ground in Syria.
Man, does it take long for these morons to see the light. Better late than never I guess. But this together with the news about the Ford creep who's changed his mind about the "rebels" is very encouraging. Too bad the necrophiliac neocons in DC are a hopeless and helpless bunch.
Ford has learned nothing. "Ford said the time had come for U.S. officials and their allies to have a serious talk about “boots on the ground,” though he was quick to add that the fighters didn’t need to be American."
So Ford thinks we should stop playing with matches and use a blowtorch and gasoline instead. Thank heaven for those weak-kneed Europeans. Now if they would just get a clue about Ukraine.
All to hide the reality that their brutal imperialism and wars of plunder for cheap oil are the vengeance generators that perpetuate an endless state of terrorism.
And how truly senseless it is, as disbanding their foreign legions and paying the market price for crude would yield much greater profit and in a state of bliss. But then, that would put our highest achievers, the rich nobility, out of work and show how truly worthless they are, as our hero Paul Newman put it in his move The Hustler,
“Money won is twice as sweet as money earned”
IF the EU goes this route, the USG will be the final holdout and throw in the towel, kicking and screaming all the way down.
Seems to me Putin must have been telling the truth . When He told us partnering with Head choppers and liver eaters is not a good idea .
This seems to be the result of Assad making gains towards encircling Aleppo and cutting off the main supply route of the Islamic Extremists – the road North to Turkey.

You mean…backing and supporting terrorists wasn't a good idea??
Oh boy howdy! Next thing you know we'll be bombing Saudi Arabia!
I could see this coming some weeks ago when (i) the propaganda in the mainstream media stopped using the pejorative word "regime" (used for the governments of designated Imperial enemies) and reinstated the word "government" for Damascus. and (ii) the BBC, UKs Pravda interviewed Assad.
Shortly we will see the same applied to the Russians where the puerile adhominem attacks on Putin will cease and he'll be interviewed for his views instead.
All rather predictable
