Remove the wheels- My Call...

An Israeli air strike hits the northern Gaza Strip

U.S. drones and fighter jets have launched strikes across Iraq, hitting additional targets in the area of the vital Mosul Dam.   ISIS collapsed.

Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans said the fight against Islamic State insurgents can only be successful if the jihadi militants are confronted in Syria as well as Iraq. U.S. government finding a common enemy with the Assad regime, which is fighting militants on their side of the border.

US can't partner with Assad overtly at this time, but the logic and trajectory of White House policy in Syria leads in that direction."

President Al-Assad’s forces have significantly stepped up their own campaign against militant strongholds in Syria, carrying out dozens of air strikes against the Islamist group’s headquarters in the past two days. Syria forces didn't collapse after years of fighting unlike Iraq.

ISIS success is due to "the wheels on their brutal wagon". Take the wheels off [movability and Qatar money support] and it will be flat on its back.  It begins with supporting the Assad in this goal.

Just a [serious] thought.

Who is fighting who?



The issue of Syria is getting too complicated by the minute.

Some Syrians believe that young Assad is good for the Country, the minority, and many are still defending the government. Others had hopes to follow the Arab spring, but more, apparently, do not.

Hizbollah fighters and fanatics from Europe are now fighting with and against the Syrian government. That complicated the status as foreigners are playing a role which is not clear.

Jordan, Saudis and Israel are concerned about foreign fighters in Syria. Russia and China are on the side of Syria. EU provides small arms to the rebels, and USA complains from so many civilian deaths.

President Obama warned the Syrian from using Chemical weapons, but some may use it to bring the American boots on the ground. A repeat of the Iraq war.

Who can we support? Not the rebels. What happened if the regime collapsed with so many foreign fighters there?

Who gets the chemical weapons? Who smuggles it, and who use it against who?

To be or not to be, "in Syria", that's the question.
