Something to think about.......
In EU the liberal values people say they support are in direct conflict with the tribal mentality most citizens have a secret passion for.
We have to choose. Either we belong to a tribe based on language, religion, geography, culture and history or a community based on values.

Rebels fended off another #ISIS attempt to storm #Marea last night, pushed terrorists back to #Harbul.
First picture of an SyAA soldier with a VSS Vintorez in the entire conflict, I think.

Homs E. rif, Suhail Al Hussein who run away in Hama sahl Al Ghab, trumpets in Tadmur
Videos:
the speaker speaks about Daesh bodies : none seen in the video.
Tadmur airport : only one barrack
Suheil Al Hussein is trumpetting. He has forgotten that his troops run away in Hama sahl Al Ghab
Besides, I am trying to understand how on earth Daesh could leave a city almost sealed off according to regime propaganda ? How is that possible in military strategy ? I admit to have no expertise in military strategy. Can someone enlighten me ?

Damascus rif, from frontline in Bala
1. Jaish Al Islam : at the beginning regime attacked and we have inflicted important losses. But the frontline held and is still holding despite the air attacks and the ground shelling.
2. Civilians suffered losses.
Russian MoD still talks about aid shipments but nothing gets delivered to the estimated 500K in besieged towns and hard to get to locations. AS Assad does not approve the so called Russian aid deliveries........so again the Russian Mod is all propaganda nothing more....

Not much of a campaign if they cannot even leave the areas they control and or maybe not control...ie their own checkpoints....

REMEMBER both Kerry and the UN stated that it was acritical part of the CoH that humanitarian aid be delivered to the estimated 500,000 in besieged and hard to get to locations.....
REMEMBER even Kerry initially stated SEVEN deliveries were going out that never occurred...all propaganda it appears from the US side....
REMEMBER the Russian MoD announces daily from their Coordination Center aid is being delivered...BUT to exactly where is never mentioned in their statements....Or they are talking to Assad about deliveries.....

FactsPalmyraCantErase: Assad bet his survival on making #Syria a binary choicehim or the terrorists. #Palmyra is part of the accompanying messaging.
In eastern Syria a network of safehouses and training camps for IS's predecessor was run by Assad's military-intel
Jihadis injured fighting for IS's predecessor were given medical treatment by Assad at least as late as 2010.
Assad was found liable in U.S. district court for IS's Amman bombing in 2005 + the beheading of two Americans in '04
In eastern Syria a network of safehouses and training camps for IS's predecessor was run by Assad's military-intel.
Badran al-Mazidi (Abu Sayyaf), an IS facilitator for FF, was killed in safehouse in eastern Syria overseen by Assad.
Documents uncovered showing 700 FF entering Iraq, AUG 2006-AUG 2007, show all of them coming through Syria.
Fatah al-Islam, a jihadi group which started a small war in Lebanon in 2007, was an instrument of Assad's FP.
At the outset of the uprising, when Assad was killing peaceful protesters, he released senior IS leader Amr al-Absi.
When the rebels fought IS in JAN-MAR 2014 and in Aleppo in JUN 2015, Assad bombed the rebels.
IS's foreign attacks are in-built evolution, not response to losses. But foreign/domestic IS networks are separating

From a proAssad/Putin commenter...
First airpower, then trainers, then special forces, then bomb disposal, then infantry for 'combat support', then...
Shia cleric calling for the genocide of Sunni's by Iraqi Shia militias.....
An Iraqi Shia leader calls on Iraqi Shia militants to "turn their cities to rubbles & behead the old and children among them".
Ever wonder just why the US did not attempt to clear this up in a direct response to the media but rather via warontherocks.....A simple explanation after recent Tweets and reports that "CIA-backed Kyrds are fighting DoD-backed Kurds in Syria". Hat tip to WoTR:http://warontherocks.com/2016/03/are...syrian-rebels/
This comment for this writer should have alerted him to the fact that in fact there is aid going to both sides and yes they are fighting each other..also notice the writers keeps using the term rebels instead of the term FSA....which is the larger grouping that the US until just a few days ago was not "officially" supporting until a video was posted here showing A10s and Reaper UAVs supporting a FSA led attack series on IS.....
If one is willing to accept statements from the ground in Syria by those involved in the fighting then the article is in fact wrong...after five years of slugging it out with Assad and IS I am fairly sure FSA knows who is who and who is receiving what from whom as the author did not mention arms and funding being funneled into Syria via the US paid for by Qatar and KSA.via both the CIA and CENTCOM....that is exactly why the TOWs are under such tight control even though supplied by KSA and or why the Southern Army is under such tight Jordanian MOC control......
Anyone working around DoD will recognize this as a deliberate attempt at avoiding having to confirm something they really do not want confirmed.....AND clearly indicates that DoD and CIA have both been playing loose and hazy with the truth....it is in the end all about denialability.....AND about hedging one's bets......Obviously, this is not an easy thing to explain properly, but I hold the U.S. government responsible for doing a poor job making these politically salient distinctions between its various proxies. I hope this doesn’t prejudice my access to various U.S. government spokespeople, but the official comment I’ve gotten to date on, for example, which section of the SDF receives Pentagon support has typically been muddled and unhelpful.
The facts here actually mean the fighting in northern Aleppo is not the absurd intra-U.S. government bloodletting it initially appears to be. But U.S. messaging on this has been sloppy, so you’d never know.
By the way the YPG attack group of intiially over 1000 fighters broke out of the Euphrates Zone under full media coverage and were in violation of a private Turkish US Agreement that the YPG would not move out of the Euphrates Zone..and here is the catch...SDF is in fact part and parcel of the "Arab" contingent inside YPG......inside the Euphrates Zone and the same YPG involved in fighting against FSA and in fact received RuAF CAS and they did in fact link into the Efrin YPG and SDF elements to continue theri attacks on FSA.
The author did not mention the DoS comments made directly aimed at SDF and YPG to go no further in their attacks on FSA....largely ignored BTW.
Example
Минобороны России
✔ @mod_russia #SYRIA Militants tried to carry out offensive from #Hraitan on positions of Kurdish units in Sheikh Maqsood after conducting mortar shelling
THAT Kurdish unit is YPG with a SDF Sub unit with them......
Sheikh Maqsood was taken by the YPG with Russian CAS and they have directly attacked FSA and not IS which is located not far from them....
