Good article. I reposted on Disqus.Originally Posted by OUTLAW 09
I wonder at times if the West ie it's leaders and MSM really "get" the Syrian revolution against Assad....we often tend to forget that it began as a totally peaceful series of demonstrations for basically the rule of law, and good governance and especially transparency.....and now we are here in 2016 with this below and the West remains utterly silent.......
With the targeted and deliberate killing of civilians by Assad, Putin, Hezbollah and the countless AFG/Iraqi Shia militias as well as the Iranian IRGC we totally forget that a large number of those being killed and wounded are women and children...and that this killing machine is called war crimes and genocide....

You have the means to kill our children, twist the truth & mute our voice but will never kill our resolve. #Syria
Obama's Syria strategy is now negotiating with (not pressuring) Russia as it kills civilians

Now we finally see the Obama/Rhodes/Kerry WH "do nothing stupid FP" for what it is ...just talking and when talking fails then talk some more....

Another amateur move by the US president's envoy, visiting the YPG in Syria -- sentimental & won't reverse course
https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-envoy-...-sh&soc_trk=tw
Kyle W. Orton @KyleWOrtonWashington (AFP) - Washington dispatched a top envoy to meet with allied Kurdish forces inside Syria last week, a State Department official said Monday, following tensions after Turkey began operations in the war-torn country.
Washington found itself trapped between two key allies who are bitter foes -- NATO partner Turkey, and the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, also taking part in the war against the Islamic State jihadist group but considered a "terrorist" group by Ankara.
A State Department spokesman told AFP that Brett McGurk, the special presidential envoy to the US-led coalition fighting IS, met with forces from the Kurdish-Arab Syrian Democratic Forces alliance.
The alliance is led by the YPG, and recently captured the town of Manbij from IS, prompting alarm in Ankara and demands that Kurdish forces withdraw east of the Euphrates river.
Ankara fears the Kurds will create a contiguous autonomous zone in northern Syria, emboldening Kurdish separatists inside Turkey.
The spokesman said McGurk pledged "ongoing US support for the SDF in the fight against ISIL (IS), while emphasising the need for strict adherence to prior commitments", a reference to demands the SDF withdraw east of the Euphrates.
"In all of his meetings, he encouraged unity of effort and de-confliction between all forces fighting ISIL in northern Syria," the spokesman said.
Last week, the Pentagon was forced to call on Turkey and Kurdish forces to avoid fighting each other, after clashes in northern Syria following the launch of Ankara's operation "Euphrates Shield", which is targeting both IS and the YPG.
McGurk also held talks last week in Turkey, the spokesman said.
"He met with senior Turkish officials to discuss US support for efforts to clear ISIL entirely from the border region... (and) also discussed planning for the Mosul campaign in Iraq, and closer US and Turkish cooperation to accelerate ISIL's ultimate defeat."
On Sunday, Turkish forces and allied Syrian rebels expelled IS from the last part of the Syrian-Turkish border under their control.
But much of the earlier work to push IS back from the border was done by the YPG and its allies.
McGurk last time met a #PKK operative, who a week ago said Turkey was terrorist and US-vetted rebels were takfiris.
A really great timely article..........read it and then reread it again and again.....

Core comment by Kyle........
He confirms something I have written here at SWJ over and over and over.....and got virtually no real response on......The Coalition’s Troubled War-Making
In speech in May, Falaha mocked the U.S. strategy of killing its leaders and expelling it from cities:
Do you think, O America, that victory is by killing one leader or another? … Or do you … consider defeat to be … the loss of land? … True defeat is the loss of willpower and desire to fight.
This might sound like self-consolation but it is actually the heart of revolutionary warfare: IS started with a cadre of ideological purists and expanded its network from there, concentrating on proselytization among recruits. When IS was defeated in 2008 and driven into the deserts its core held because they believed in the cause. The group simply reverted to an earlier stage of Maoist revolutionary war—namely insurgency and terrorism.
When the US military arrived in Baghdad in 2003 they did not know they had walked right into the middle of a Salafist ongoing Phase Two Guerrilla War as based on Mao....which had been ongoing since 1991 against Saddam ...when we arrived they just shifted gears and moved against the "near enemy" the US......
If you think about the article and look at the Turkish/FSA campaign against IS they are slowly but steadily taking back the rural villages and towns and pushing IS back into the larger towns...just the opposite of what is ongoing in Iraq.....

Actually when you think about it....there is a little US hysteria when it comes to discussing jihadi's in the media....

24hrs after siege of E. #Aleppo re-emplaced, Ahrar al-Sham forces have re-penetrated Al-Amariyah in city's SW, capturing several positions.
Appears the TAF is getting serious about building that so called NFZ that the Russians and US do not want.....If I were IS, YPG/PKK and the Assad regimes forces around Aleppo I would be paying close attention to this news item.......especially since the Turkish AF has been flying far more aggressively over the TAF/FSA forces......inside Syria with Assad/RuAFs giving them a wide berth.....
