What, exactly, can one call "Moderate" about the al-Nusra front? Just because the CIA has been covertly giving that al-Qaeda controlled terrorist group weapons and training does not make it in any way "Moderate."

To be fair, there are numerous rebel groups, not all of which are jihadis. But even the "moderate rebels" are in alliances that include jihadis.

If we really have, as claimed by the Pentagon, trained and armed those five "Moderates" in Syria, they have cost the American taxpayer about one hundred million dollars each. At that rate removing Assad will bankrupt everyone in America several times over!

A true humoroid if every there was one.

Putin is not going after ISIS; he's going after the rebels who are fighting Assad.

He still denies Russian soldiers are in eastern Ukraine.

He still denies Russian soldiers or Russian-backed fighters shot down the Malaysian Airliner, killing 298 innocent passengers

He denies the fact that 4 Russian missiles recently fell in Iran, on their way to Syria.

Putin is the world's most dangerous liar!

too much on propaganda.

There are now just two functional factions in syria fighting the assad regime, al qaeda aligned groups and isis aligned groups. And the answer to DOD's curiosity about those toyota trucks is answered by "we gave them to isis via our 'moderate rebel' conduit."

..." And the answer to DOD's curiosity about those toyota trucks is answered by "we gave them to isis via our 'moderate rebel' conduit." "

Lots of CIA fronts here and there bought them and gave them to them, or some other nefarious group, perhap some of those securities money "missing" from the WTC destruction of brokerages.

And even if there are "moderate rebels" as soon as Assad falls ISIS will eliminate our "moderate rebels".

The phrases the media can come up with never fail to amaze me.

So, uh, mainstream.

nice to see you.
