I have to
agree with Bashar Al Sad on this one.
32 IS fighters killed in US-led raids on Syria; Assad slams UK’s participation - Newspaper - DAWN.COM
Continually
bombing the area
without the ground forces in an attempt to crush ISIS is only going to wind up creating a lot of collateral damage of
innocent civilians ,who are going to hate the West. ISIS isn't stupid, they know that merging with the civilian population is there best option.
I'm sort of tired of the moral hubris & dishonest liberal line of the media as to why were not supporting Assad:
(Mass murderer, war criminal. 10 years ago CNN ran a piece on him proclaiming him to be the Arab world's hope of progressive reformer, how they've changed their tune)
The real reason we are not supporting Assad is because we are allied with the Sunni world (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait ect) so to be siding with the Shia's in their
sectarian civil war would not go down well with the Saudi Princes who are hellbent on ousting the Shia grip on power in Syria.
Nertheless, if you want to crush ISIS you need troops on the ground that co-ordinate their forces with Assad's
Iranian and Lebanese Shia backed army in Syria & the Shia militias in
Iran.
As we've seen with the increased Russian military presence in Syria over the years, backed by China, Putin will not allow NATO to take Assad out & Hollande refuses to join work with him.

National Front just one a historic victory in France tonight.
Failed foreign policy abroad, failed domestic policy at home, its time for
Hollande and the French socialists to pass the keys back over to
Sarkozy, and ride off into the sunset.
