This is a good news for Mr.Obama, there were moderate jihadists in syria indeed

This reminds me of when the Vietnamese army invaded Cambodia and (easily) drove out the Khmer Rouge. It was a game changer that ended the civil war and brought stability. Regardless of the Russians' motives, a similar result that squashes ISIS would be doing the world a huge favor.

Didn't someone here say that Obama banned Russia from selling arms to Syria?

Where is the US Air Force?

We have the known location of hundreds of ISIS fighters congregating in one area.

Why isn't the US bombing them?

Because Obama doesn't want nor believe in it.

As in all other publications, I have come to "doubt" the media's use of Jihadists, ISIS and a few others that label militant Muslims.

The facts seems to indicate that "labeling" different Muslim militant factions only hides the racial and ethnic wars and "cleansing" that is "hidden" in the battles and conflicts. In the name of removing ISIS and other militant Muslim groups, more non-Muslims and racially or ethnically different Muslim groups are being decimated.

The entire emigration process happening in Africa, Middle East and Europe is a massive religious movement that is forcing religious, ethnic and racial groups being displaced by the Muslims. In the same process, massive numbers of Muslims are "penetrating" here to fore inaccessible areas of Europe and Africa.

If this is not a well planned and timed religious strategy... a conspiracy... the entire process, the entire scenario from the USA to the Middle East... does NOT make sense. When you look at the entire world as a coordinated scenario.... what do you see?

What say you?

Oh, you meant when the Russians tried to sail their ships through British waters with weapons despite the Brits having a blockade on Syria? And that article doesn't mention Obama and Clinton at all.

That is what you meant when you said the Obama has banned Russian weapons sales to Syria? Hmmm....I don't think you were being very honest. But it's nice to see the British sending Russian warships back. Putin must have had his shirt off pretty quickly.

SuperLib: SuperLib: It is a well documented fact that the US, Saudis, GB, Turkey and Israel wants Assad gone, putting it mildly. Israel has carried out seven bombing raids into Syria, ALL of them directed at Hezbollah, not ISIS. Turkey is attacking Kurds and PKK, not ISIS. GB, is targeting their own, who they claim are terrorist. The US and Saudis and all countries I mentioned have NOT dropped a single bomb to try and stop this advance on the airport. Now they are all upset that Russia is supporting the only one who IS truly trying to defeat ISIS and Al Qauida.

SuperLib: More proof that the war on ISIS is only an illusion. I borrowed this from Warispeace:

If we look at this news story about "a recently declassified secret US intelligence report, written in August 2012," which show how the US "Created" ISIS As A "Tool" To Overthrow Syria's President Assad.

Created? No I don't think so, Stuart. Quoting from your linked article, which I did bother to read:

"That doesn’t mean the US created Isis, of course, though some of its Gulf allies certainly played a role in it – as the US vice-president, Joe Biden, acknowledged last year."

As I thought all along, the US has at times clumsily tried to play off one faction against another. Gaddafi warned that upsetting the status quo and supporting the 'good' rebels in Libya would end up playing into the most extreme radicals' hands. In that sense he was right, and Syria is in grave danger of following.

and delayed weapons shipments from Russia

Is this the ban you were talking about?

The West`s support for ISIS is more than just stupidity, it is a crime against civilization. Are our politicians mad??

The only player in the Syria situation is Assad. Only in Assad controlled territories, minorities like Yazidizis, Christians, and Druzes are protected, in the jihadist controlled areas they are genocided. And we support the murderers???

Bush, I'm not seeing any evidence that Obama banned all countries from supplying weapons to Syria.
