Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif is in Damascus today to meet with Assad government figures on the possibility of setting aside the ongoing Syrian Civil War, and instead focus on fighting against ISIS, with a broad coalition proposed by Russia that would include both government and rebels.
Several of the rebel factions have in the meantime sent representatives to Moscow to talk with Russia about the plan, though they are seen as largely rejecting the plan if it includes the Assad government, which of course is the whole point of the effort, bringing two sides that can’t fight ISIS alone together.
Saudi Arabia has come out against the idea, insisting the Alawite Assad government mustn’t be allowed to have any role in Syria, and they seem much more averse to Assad surviving in any role in a unity government than in ISIS retaining control over most of the country.
The US has been averse to the Russian unity idea in the past, though recently it has been suggested that they are more willing to discuss the matter, for lack of any other ideas on fighting ISIS. Without bringing any meaningful rebels on board, however, the program may be a non-starter.
These opposition don't understand the facts about what is the real enemy of Syrian, Iraqi, Iranian people. Look: this is 2015 if ISIS were able to create its caliphat regime anywhere it would be disastrous for the man kind, if they would creat their regime they simply come after you and your opposition. These people need to understand that they are and have become the dancing partners to what the European, Israeli, the Saudis, the USG playing for them to dance. It is time for peace, it is time for these opposition, opportunists to talk with Syrian peoples will, which is peace.
Once again, Russia working for peace. And the US, apparently confused by the whole notion.
Great Russia's Appeasement, yes it's called Appeasement, yet aigin allows the Warlords of Washington to continue with their schems.
ISL/ISIS/IS is affront organisation run by American intelligence services. They are being usrunby the samr said US.intelligence.
The object is still to overthrow the Syrian government and they intend to do so by this means.ed in a False Flag Anti Group operation fighting the other secular and Jihadist paramilitariies
It is amazing how US does not ALLOW anyone to fight ISIS. These "opposition" is financed by US and US allies. Turkey — is NOT ALLOWED to hit ISIS targets inside Syria. Also, Syria has been warned off — in the name of those sixty or trainees we placed inside Syria. The bottom line — NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH ISIS INSIDE SYRIA. I have heard of many neocon boneheaded ideas, but this one is the HOOT.
