The "rebels" need to pack it up and head back to the UK, Saudi Arabia, and wherever else they came from. If the US really wants to help we should offer them plane tickets and buses back home.

As noted, the daesh(isis) and nusra will not participate in the cessation. That means it'll give them a break to regroup and try to take back what they've recently lost. Sounds like the failed tactics of Vietnam.

"Government forces, aided by a withering Russian bombing campaign, are trying to encircle rebels in Syria’s largest city of Aleppo and cut off their supply route to Turkey."
What's up with the rebels getting supplies from Turkey?

Strange seeing Lavrov and Kerry together, considering these latest accusations:

Nobody is going to participate in the ceasefire, least of all Don Putin. The West should pull out and let Russia continue it's "fire and hope" campaign. At least they aren't bogged down with annoyances like civilian casualties or the hordes refugees created so they can prop up Assad.
Methinks this miserable conflict is far from over, despite some of our Kremlin financed contributors talking about a victory that has strangely already happened.

Common rule of thumb is bombing creates more would-be enemies seeking revenge

If the terrorists (McCain's Army, iSiS/ISiL, Al-Qeada, Al-CIAeda, "moderates", et al) cannot get supplies this war will soon be over in months. =That is why NATO et al is so desperate for a truce to get supplies in. All the real Syrians living in these cities under terrorist control have left and most of the terrorist commanders and management have left. You can go on YouTube and see videos of these destroyed cities and there is not much left after 4+ years of war and settlement by these terrorist groups.
You still see these Libs fighting for these terrorist groups and destruction of Syria and that is shameful. Nothing but the total destruction of Syria and the people of Syria will make the Libs happy.
