Syria: with failure of the latest round of peace talks the world powers will probably have to accept that peace in Syria is not possible
Will now be settled as Bismarck once said....by "iron and blood"....
There has been always a "military solution on the table that would be successful both against Assad and against IS"...just Obama is never going to go down that path as his own biases hold him back while he thinks he is the greatest intellectual in the room when he is not......one's own biases tend to do that.....
For both the Arab states and #Iran this has been a reality for years, and it seems like #US and #Russia are also starting to realize this
GRAPHIC

Watching Assad deliberately killing Syrians must be seriously disturbing for his apologists. Answer: denial
Another day of bloodshed for Aleppo. And all the western left do is remain silent, or worse, deny it's even happening.
Russia is still field testing their new equipment.......
Russia provide #Assad army with new radar sight Fara-1 MG to kill Syrians in all weather conditions
Mohamed Faris (#NDF leader in #Qamishlo): "Despite the misunderstanding, #YPG is part of the Syrian Regime."
Mohamed Faris (#NDF): "I'm not responsible of what happened in the past days, and we signed truce agreement with our brothers #Asayish."
BEGS the core question is now the Obama WH in fact supporting their proxy YPG who is part and parcel of the Assad genocidal regime....HOW can CIA, CENTCOM and DoD be making that kind of mistake?????
According to source from #Qamishlo; #Asayish was forced by #YPG to stop the fight and sign truce with Assad Regime.
Same source said that the main reason why the fight started was because Regime detained 2 #BaAsayish fighters and sent them to #Damascus.
Some of the main points from Statement by #Asayish (Kurdish) - April 22, 2016
Baath Party still making the same mistakes that led to the Revolution
Baath Party tried to take advantage of Geneva and true to attack us
Freed prison that was being used for torture
Regime was trying to arm civilians to fight for regime
Regime had been shelling the town before the fighting killing 33 civilians
TOTAL of 8 main points in their statement
Do not think this truce will hold for long.....
Kurdish forces placed sniper curtains around Qamişlo markets for safety of the civilians.
Kurdistan: footage of #Peshmerga forces clashing with #HashdShaabi fighters in Tuz Khormato

Shiite militias are claiming that #Peshmerga are burning Turkmen homes in #Tuz_Khurmato now.
UPDATE: 5 Shia militia fighters and 3 Peshmerga killed in fighting today around #TuzKhurmatu , #Iraq.
Increase of clashes btw #Kurds & #Shiites indicate the future for northern areas in #Syria & #Iraq -both try to fill gaps when #IS retreat
Anti missile flares from fighter jet above #Aleppo city indicate #Russia'n aircraft

Must be related to air strikes flown in the night from 22 to 23 April, then no air strikes in Raqqa or Abu Kamal were flown the last night.
Anyway, the CJTF-OIR said it targeted one 'ISIL weapons factory' in Abu Kamal and an 'ISIL tactical unit and a checkpoint' in Dayr az-Zawr.

Aleppo: 12 #Syria|n civilians killed by #Assad regime airstrikes on #Sakhour District of #Aleppo City today.
The supervisor of the “Crowd of Turkmen,” on Wednesday, in a statement received by Beyond The Levant has confirmed receiving Russian Kornet ATGM (anti-tank guided missiles) and two unnamed tanks ahead of a potential showdown with Islamic State in Bashir (30km south of Kirkuk) according to Mr. Abu Rida al – Najjar.

CrowBat..........have you heard anything about this?
Any confirmation (or not) about report of alleged #Su-34 crashed today due to technical problem near #Latakia Airbase?
Would argue the Obama WH is just going through the motions as the so called ceasefire was never a ceasefire...ask Assad and Putin.....so why would both now shift to a full and true ceasefire??
"Obama makes call to 'reinstate' #Syria ceasefire
BUT WAIT......you do have to admit that actually there has been a rather effective ceasefire for IS conducted by both Assad and Putin......
Big explosion heard in #Damascus a little while ago
WHAT THE HECK is this all about???????
WTH? Reports that a US drone struck an IDP camp in the Harem area in north rural #Idlib today killing at least 3 & injuring 10s!

AND again the DoD gives Assad and Putin a total green light to bomb civilians in Aleppo as they are now doing....
Is DoD doing this deliberately to punish the anti Assad FSA forces for walking out of Geneva OR is it out of simple stupidity???????
THIS is the third or fourth time DoD has made this same statement about JaN and their controlling Aleppo THUS the Russians and Assad can bomb civilians there.....WHY is the interesting question?????Quote:
That said, it's primarily al-Nusra who holds Aleppo, and of course, al-Nusra is not part of the cessation of hostilities. So it's complicated. We're watching it. Our focus, though, as the Combined Joint Task Force, is ISIL. And so don't forget that, that's our focus. The cessation of hostilities, the diplomatic and political processes -- while they certainly have -- are of interest to us and potentially could influence our operations peripherally, our focus remains ISIL.
Dear @OIRSpox
this is entirely WRONG & gives #Assad/#Russia a green light for more massacres

The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.

ANOTHER chemical attack potentially occurs and that US "red line" is nowhere to be seen...why is that??
Reports of chlorine rockets fired from Jouren military camp in Hama toward Jisr al-Shoughour
THIS is extremely interesting as the previous chlorine attacks were with bombs...but it takes a certain rocket and the ability to fill it that appears to prove the Syrians did not totally disarm their chemical weapons AS Russia claimed they did.....
This week in Syria between April 18 and the 24 2016 a total of 393 civilians were killed including 42 women and 49 children. RIP
AND Kerry then blames the HNC for walking away from Geneva and then states it is their fault that they are getting bombed....
BUT WAIT most of these killed and we have not talked about the wounded numbers occurred during Geneva talks WHICH Kerry apparently forgot about....
EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Syrian Army top secret strategy plans
http://dailyscimitar.com/exclusive-l...trategy-plans/ …
Alleged not confirmed by other sources.....
When fighting both Assad and IS it appears the Obama WH has forgotten these words from someone who truly understood warfare even the so called Russian non linear linear warfare.....
"To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy."

Nothing.
This is already the third or fourth report about explosions or other sort of 'major incidents' at Hmemmem AB - but not one has been confirmed so far.
Guess, unless something crashes in a place where it can be captured on a camera, that's going to remain that way.
Considering target-selection practices of the CJTF-OIR - and Oblabla's micromanagement - I meanwhile have doubts about some of reports in question.Quote:
WTH? Reports that a US drone struck an IDP camp in the Harem area in north rural #Idlib today killing at least 3 & injuring 10s!
Is the US in a race with Assad for the most killing of civilians???????
- CJTF-OIR bombed Daesh-related targets in Abu Kamal ('oil well head') and Dayr az-Zawr ('ISIL tactical unit and an ISIL vehicle and an ISIL rocket system') on 20 April
- CJTF-OIR bombed targets in Abu Kamal again ('an ISIL bed down location' and 'an ISIL vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) facility') on 21 April;
- French MOD cited involvement of two formations - one of 2, other of 4 - of Mirage 2000Ds in operations against Abu Kamal on 21 and 22 April;
- CJTF-OIR bombed targets in Abu Kamal ('ISIL weapons factory') and in Dayr az-Zawr ('ISIL tactical unit' and 'ISIL check-point') on 22 April again.
No air strikes in either area were reported for 23 April, and there are no releases yet for the last night.
Now,
- DaZ24 is 'citing two strikes by coalition aircraft' on Abu Kamal (or al-Bukamal) on 'Wednesday' (20 April): one against the house of Khamiss-family, and the other against Cement Institute near the al-Basel Hospital; and
- DaZ Observatory (in Arabic) reports 'four raids ...by coalition aircraft', targeting the cement factory, the Krash factory, as-Sina Industrial area, al-Hizam al-Akhdar (green belt) and martyrdom of an entire family.
But,
- Free DaZ Broadcast says it was Russian aircraft that bombed the Khamiss-house,
...and most of reports are actually citing 21st April, not the 20th.
Overall, there is quite some reporting about this affair; the quality is quite precise, and although there is uncertainity about whether it was 'coalition' or 'Russians', I would say that if it was aircraft operated under CJTF-OIR's control, then the French Mirage 2000Ds that were responsible, not 'US'.
