I have written a couple of posts about the situation in Syria and their civil war…..reporting is difficult because it is so damn confusing that few want to try and explain…(read my last post on this subject)…..

The big news, at least for now, is that there is a big armed push to attack the ISIS capital city of Raqqa in Syria….there is a combo of Kurds and Arabs teaming up to give those bastards in Raqqa the what you for……
A US-backed alliance of Kurdish-Arab fighters has started to clear ISIS fighters from the area north of Raqqa, the jihadists’ de facto capital, a US official confirmed Tuesday.
“The SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) have begun operations to clear the northern countryside, so this is putting pressure on Raqqa,” Baghdad-based US military spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said.
The US military will conduct air strikes in support of the “several thousand” SDF forces, some of whom have been trained and equipped by the United States.

The coalition is an attempt to make this armed conflict something for everybody……and the media has done an excellent job passing on the propaganda that the government wants the American people to have……but there is problem….not all is as that want it to appear…..
Though they have, throughout US involvement in the Syrian War, been America’s go-to ally, the Kurdish YPG hasn’t had the rosiest of track records. Several times throughout the war, when offensives have put them in control of Sunni Arab territory, they have engaged in ethnic cleansing, killing Arabs they see as “pro-ISIS” and burning entire villages worth of homes.
This is informing the almost exclusively Sunni Arab population of the ISIS capital city of Raqqa as the YPG launches a major offensive just north of the city, and according to locals, is prompting many civilians to join the ISIS effort to defend the city.
I am sure the US does not intended this to be a recruitment program, right?
Well this clears up the situation in Syria, right?
Feel informed now?

The key here seems to be the bombing the US is carrying out to support whomever it is they support; it gives our arms dealers another 750 million dollars a day of profits….
gigoid, the dubious
great analysis. If Kurds attack Raqqa as suggested and the Syrian Army push East towards Dayr az zawr, then ISIS will be cooked in Syria. Is that wishful thinking??
They may suffer a bit….but the head must be taken off the snake for it to be a success….
so what is your suggestion? snake is ISIS i presume
Yep…go after leader and remove from the field….then hit them hard and often before he can be replaced….
great idea. however the ISIS is widespread and has many heads.cut one head , fifty more spring up.

The Snake ( Serpentine water monster)
According to Hesiod, the Hydra was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna. It possessed many heads, the exact number of which varies according to the source. Later versions of the Hydra story add a regeneration feature to the monster: for every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow one or multiple heads.
Sounds like AQ/ISIS/others…..
Yup! the world is at war…and somethings don’t change….in fact lotsa things don’t change….repeating patterns…still, Obama continues his rounds at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park…and say’s Nuclear Arms Require a ‘Moral Revolution’ Hmmmm….
