    NOTICE....the entire US MSM and the Obama WH simply do not talk about the transnational Shia jihadist mercenary army fighting inside Syria along with IRGC units and Hezbollah.

    WAIT I thought the Russian air force was protecting the YPG which Russia motivated to attack the FSA........maybe the Kurds will wake up and realize they were taken in by the Russians who just needed foot soldiers to fight FSA..

    AND where is their US proxy master...nowhere to be seen either........

    Notice this social media comment long before the AFP report came out......

    Can @mod_russia explain how they can stop bombing areas they say they haven't been bombing since Wednesday?
    pic.twitter.com/30xLcPRfH6

    AND where is MSM reports on these areas that have been hit as well....
    Areas definitely targeted by Assad today are: eastern Ghouta, Homs, Latakia, Quneitra & rural Damascus. Airstrike in Aleppo possibly Russian..was in fact a SU25....Russian.....

    Interesting polling conducted by social media as to what the US Plan B is/was......

    Its safe to say we are heading toward Obama's plan "B" which is by the way..

    Wow...finally someone from the EU get's it....Assad will not stop his violence as the COH only foresees the delivery of humanitarian aid when theer is a complete cessation of violence...AND not before..... so as long as Assad is not reined in the aid does not get to Sunni towns and villages where it truly is needed WHICH is his goal anyway.

    Here a highly interesting article on 13th Division FSyA, from Historico-blog (in French). Very detailed in regards of history, training, and equipment, and quite good in regards of organisation. A true 'must read'.

    BTW, should Oblabla and his Mentalist - perhaps the UN too? - still wonder where that load of 'humanitarian aid' dropped by (Russian-flown) Il-76 over Dayr az-Zawr ended...

    ...well, why not ask the locals?

    The UN’s first delivery of humanitarian aid to Deir Ezzor province by air falls into hands of Assad forces
    “Earlier this morning, a WFP plane dropped the first cargo of 21 tonnes of items into Deir Ezzor,” in eastern Syria, UN aid chief Stephen O’Brien said on 25 February, 2016.

    The air-drop is part of a larger effort to lift the starvation siege which has been imposed by both ISIS and the Assad-regime on civilians living in the city for more than a year now.

    “A Cargo plane accompanied by two warplanes airdropped food aid shipments over the regime-held territories of Deir Ezzor,” a D24 correspondent said.
    ...
    ...more precisely: straight into the hands of the '137th Brigade' NDF.

    Of course, why should one bother: 'all Syrians' in Dayr az-Zawr are either under Daesh occuppation, and thus 'pro-terrorists', or besieged by the regime, and thus 'terrorists'...

    NOW we starting to see the exact same tactics used in the Minsk 2 "ceasefire" by the Russian troops and her mercenaries now being used by the SAA and it's transnational shia jihadists in the Syrian "ceasefire".....

    AND just like in the Ukraine where the UAF has stated they will return fire to defend themselves during the Russian so called "ceasefire"...so does FSA reply when fired upon during the Russian so called "ceasefire"......

    CrowBat...what do you think.....still do not believe the Saudi and Turkish moves are off the table...especially when the Northern Thunder exercise ends 10 Mar. and all those tanks, IFV, aircraft and troops are simply "sitting around close to the Jordanian border.


    More Russian jets arriving to Syria, more Saudi jets arriving to Turkey... everybody getting ready for when the "ceasefire" officially ends

    Reference the 4 more SU24s and 1 IL76 that arrived today in Syria.

    IS destroyed a regime tank & 2 picups on road near Khanasser in southern #Aleppo

    The people of #EynArros south of #TalAbayd start to flee the area Due the Clashes between #IS & YPG

    Several #ISIS fighters hide in the National Hospital of #TalAbyad and the Warplanes targeted the Hospital with Airstrikes

    According to pro regime FB foreign Shia militants rape women of #Nubl/#Zahraa in #Aleppo.

    1000+ rape cases by Iranian militia residents of Nibbol & Zahra complain to #Assad & SAA

    The Assad regime violated the ceasefire all over Syria, however, East Ghouta is under heavy attack, as if ceasefire never existed.

    We've defined deviancy down so far that Assad/Russia only committing mass-homicide in one district today is a "success".

    CrowBat...back to our JaN discussion........could this be the inherent key....Iranian ties into JaN via AQ?????

    Could the protective hand of the IRGC/Khamenei be over them and not so much the Russians?????

    There is in fact some similarities between AQs jihadist view of revolutionary Islam and the "revolutionary Islam" preached and written about by Khomeini that both Shia and Sunni's can relate to.

    Iran’s Partnership with al-Qaeda and Unanswered Questions | The Syrian Intifada - by .@KyleWOrton
    https://kyleorton1991.wordpress.com/...red-questions/

    (Mod's Note: This article is dated September 19, 2015)

    Iran instrumentalizes al-Qaeda by facilitating travel of AQ members to #Syria -> weakening moderates

    In 2011, Treasury reported Iran-Qaeda "secret deal".
    In 2014, Treasury added these details: http://bit.ly/1QaIhQ4

    (Mod's Note: This article by Kyle is dated March 24, 2014)

    Sayf al-Adel was also recently freed by #Iran >> Iran’s Partnership with al-Qaeda and Unanswered Questions

    And if Sayf al-Adel has now made his way into Syria, no surprise: al-Qaeda has been operating networks feeding Nusra from Iran for years.

    There are a number of comments indicating he is indeed in Syria with JaN.

    Sayf al-Adel worked out the plan for the formation of a jihadist statelet with Abu Musab az-Zarqawi in 2002. In #Iran.
