Well, should tell you how much Assad is loved if he ranks higher than the West.

Well this should tell you how much the US actions have become in line with Al-Qaida's agenda.

" Al-Qaida’s Syria affiliate would not use Syria as a launching pad for attacks on the West, its chief said in a wide-ranging televised interview late Wednesday. Without showing his face, Abu Mohamed al-Jolani said his group, Al-Nusra Front, would protect Syrian minorities that renounced the regime. "

Right. And I am Santa Claus. Alas, the fools in Washington probably believe this.

What actions would those be? Letting Iran have a free run of Iraq? Or is it your usual canard of "funding the Saudis" which the US has done for like 70 years.

" What actions would those be? "

Helping radical Jihadis replace secular regimes and replace them with brutal Shariah dictatorships, including genocide of Yazidis and Christians?

Or was that a trick question?

From the article:

"Nevertheless, he lambasted the U.S. for its air raids against Al-Nusra in Syria and accused it of coordinating with the Assad regime on the use of air space."

From the peanut gallery:

Stuart Hayward: Well this should tell you how much the US actions have become in line with Al-Qaida's agenda.

Burning Bush: somehow turned into...

Why are Russians coming onto message boards and asking Americans for help?

It's just funny to see the different agendas in play. Apparently the US is "supporting" Al Queda while the leader is saying he's pissed that the US is bombing them and helping Assad....which means they think we're on Assad's side....while some here say it's insane that we aren't helping Assad....heh. Stuart and Bush use the "weak link" philosophy, which is usually something like, "The aren't bombing them so that's kind of like supporting them so the US and Al Queda are now officially best friends" type of propaganda.

Yeah, no kidding, the US is supposedly supporting Al-Qaeda or ISIS or the "jihadis" against Assad one day, (madness I tell you, madness) then just supposedly about to be suckered into relenting on them the next because well "the fools in Washington probably believe this".
