Thanks for the rare look at the other side. Western Main Stream only mentions Assad when they want to bash him.
Which has gone quiet recently, have you noticed?
«Reporter: So you blame Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, for being the backbone of those jihadists. Do you have any proof?

«Bashar al-Assad: Very simple.
First. What’s the ideology of ISIS? It’s Wahhabi ideology. Do we have it in Syria? Do we have it in Morroco or in the western Arab world? No. Wahhabi ideology it’s Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Some of that proof, about 7:56 into here…

Mention of Assad went quiet because they want you to forget he exists and he's not the reason we'll soon be bombing Syria. They want us to believe it's ISIS they really want to take out while Assad will just be collateral damage. Last time they tried to use him and his alleged actions to go into a sovereign nation it backfired. The people saw right thru it and said no. It was during an election cycle and the traitors who were running for re-election didn't want to put their fanny's on the line, so they voted no. Now they need to accelerate this before the next election cycle, so we see ISIS ramping up their atrocities - you know, eating babies and all.
Syria is a much tougher nut. Closer to a first world nation than third world. They also have partners in China and Russia that are valuable to all concerned. They also have a formally educated President.

Nice rundown. I concur. 'They' didn't think Syria would be such a tough nut to crack. Best laid plans and all. I imagine this is also true of Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. Ukraine as well.
Lets see, which endless war victim is next?

Yeah well the US would look like a 3rd world nation too if it was being bombed from the inside and out.

Well, I would judge this different by now.
Unfortunately Syria lies in ruins and resembles more of a third world nation now. I seriously hope that we get rid of ISIS soon and can stabilize the region so that they can rebuild.
The Pentagon said it was planning to deploy hundreds of special forces to the Middle East to train “moderate” militants outside Syria in March.
The two sides say the “moderate” militants will fight both the Syrian government and ISIL Takfiri terrorists.
US Secretary of State John Kerry says military pressure may be necessary to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, indicating that Washington is still seeking a “regime change” in the Arab country.
“Ultimately a combination of diplomacy and pressure will be needed to bring about a political transition. Military pressure particularly may be necessary given President Assad's reluctance to negotiate seriously," he added.
The United States has once again called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down accusing his government of being authoritarian and brutal against Syrian people.
The Syrian government has been fighting militants and terrorists from various countries. The United States and its regional allies - especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey - are supporting the militants operating inside the country.
Psaki extolled the militants fighting against the Syrian government saying Syria won’t be stable as long as Assad is in power. "As we have long said, Assad must go and be replaced through a negotiated, political transition that is representative of the Syrian people."
On Friday, the State Department will host a meeting attended by the Syrian opposition leaders including Ghassan Hitto, who had been proclaimed by the divided Syrian National Coalition (SNC) as “prime minister” and tasked to form an “interim government”. Hitto eventually resigned on July 8, 2013.
Assad, who was re-elected last year, has said only Syrians have the right to determine the future of their country.
“The aviation of international coalition repeatedly carried out air strikes on the positions of the national militia forces and the armed forces, who are leading a fierce war against terrorists of ISIL [also formerly known ISIS, currently the Islamic State (IS)],” said a statement from Al-Moaten bloc, a member party in the government coalition.
Iraqi authorities are being urged to investigate the killing of 22 Iraqi soldiers in the western province of Anbar in what they claim was a US-led airstrike. [,,] The soldiers were killed on Wednesday when an airplane bombed the HQ of an army company near Ramadi, a city in central Iraq, about 110 kilometers west of Baghdad [..]
