Seems that Obama/Kerry ignored this perception and now with the Russian/US "joint deal"....the Syrian opposition firmly now believes that it in fact exists.....IMHO actually I would tend to agree with them...
SO why now this feinted anger ????????
"[State Dept] officials deeply resent the impression that an unholy alliance is taking shape between the United States and Russia."
US + Russia still not worked out a mechanism for coordinated strikes in Syria; will do so with "representatives from about 11 other nations"
ALL the armed opposition has to do is to Google all of recent comments, DoS PRs and press conferences and a logical person would come to the same conclusion....."that there is an unholy alliance".....

Reading the initial statements from Kerry and Kirby, they both seemed pretty clear that #Assad and #JIC would work together against #JFS.
Regardless, it is now clear U.S. policy that the #JIC will not coordinate with #Assad in airstrikes in western Syria against #JFS.
Kyle W. Orton @KyleWOrton The U.S. and the #JIC, however, are still in a de facto alliance with #Assad against #IS, and IS-held areas are a free-fire zone.
