This is just the latest attempt to sell us another regime change in the middle east. Its funny how nobody really got outraged when the same ISIS were massacring captured Syria soldiers, killing and crucifying innocent Syria and destroying whole cities. We kept quiet because they were working on our agenda of weakening/eliminating Assad. Now that the plan is not working out as well they planned or taking too long, TPTB is trying to engage Syria directly.

If this was truly about eliminating the terrorists, I don't see whats so wrong with working with the Syria govt. We worked with all sorts of people when it came to stopping the Nazi's and I don't see why we cannot work with the Syrian people and their govt in eliminating ISIS.

I will not support any unilateral war/kinetic action into Syria. If they really believe ISIS is so evil, then they should have no problem working with the Syrian people and govt in fighting them.
