http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/26/w...poses-challenge-to-us.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0ANTAKYA, Turkey — A rebel group with thousands of fighters, political clout and close ties to key regional powers has emerged as one of the most powerful opposition forces in Syria in recent months. It has vowed to fight the Islamic State and called for engagement with the West.
But despite a long struggle by the United States to find a viable opposition in Syria to counter President Bashar al-Assad and fight the Islamic State, the Obama administration has shown no interest in working with the group, Ahrar al-Sham, or the Free Men of Syria.
The problem for the United States is Ahrar al-Sham’s grounding in militant Islam — a concern that has also dogged previous efforts to find partners in Syria.

Shiite Iran, Assad’s key military and financial patron, denies enlisting Afghan mercenaries to fight alongside Syrian forces in the four-year conflict against opposition Sunni rebels that has left more than 240,000 people dead and millions displaced.

Venäjä lähettää joukkoja Syyriaan
Venäläiset hävittäjälentäjät operoivat pian Syyrian taivaalla.
Enkös minä juuri pari viikkoa sitten kirjoittanut jtn sen suuntaista että uusilla koneilla lentää "eronneet" venäläiset lentäjät? Tää on win-win situation isis saa pannuun huolella, venäjä tuhlaa resursseja syyriaan ja Israel voi sit tuupata ohjukset hanuriin noille iivanoille kun ne on aluksi kurmuuttaneet isistä.
Aika räväkkä veto Venäjältä ottaa suoraan osaa Syyrian sotaan. Meno alkaa muistuttaa yhä enemmän ja enemmän 30-luvun menoa. Valitettavasti..
