The Obama administration is getting desperate and is making what might be its final offer to Moscow to end the hostilities in Syria. Obama is calling for enhanced intelligence and military cooperation with Russia against the Islamic State and other extremist groups in the nation. Obama is also calling for President Bashar al-Assad and the Russians to honor a UN brokered ceasefire with U.S.-supported rebel groups which includes Assad’s removal from power.
Secretary of State John Kerry met with Russia's top diplomat to discuss Syria's civil war and Assad's future. Apparently desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize, Kerry is trying to “resuscitate the cessation of hostilities” and get Russia to end its attacks on U.S. backed rebels. The big obstacle to any agreement involves the future of Bashar al-Assad, as the Russians are not interested in removing him from power and having him replaced by a Muslim Brotherhood puppet regime. Obama, of course, has been pleased to practice that pro-terror diplomacy throughout the Middle East.
Secretary Kerry will fail as long he insists on ushering Assad out of power. The ceasefire will fail as long as al-Qaeda and ISIS are operating in a Syrian war in which the lack of uniforms makes it difficult to tell the rebels from the terrorists. Peace will only come to Syria when one of the factions kills off all of the others. Diplomacy is a poor countermeasure against the Islamic State and al-Qaida, especially when Humanitarian aid deliveries to rebel held areas are sporadic and grossly inefficient. It’s likely that such supplies are being looted by tribal and terrorist groups.

The Obama administration sent a proposal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that would mandate the U.S. Military share Intelligence and friendly forces in Syria with the Russians. In exchange

No way the NeoCons nutjobs want peace in Syria. Kerry’s there because Putin now holds all the cards.
I don’t know what’s really going on but peace is not an option!
We didn’t seek peace. We not only let genocide happen before the eyes of the world but we actually helped cause it by supporting terrorists.
Democrats pretend to be peace lovers but don’t really seem to value life.
LOL. End hostilities in Syria? Putin is just getting started in the ME.
I have a better idea.
Since we have effed up everything we have touched in the ME (fault lies with State, not the military), why not let the Sov, er, Russians ‘seek’ peace in the ME? At least they don’t lose sight of their interests and are ruthless enough and brutal enough to get the job done.
Peace follows total victory
How can there ever be peace as long as ISIS exists? This is what I can’t stand about diplomats. They think that cease fires equal peace.
Peace will only come to Syria when one of the factions kills off all of the others.
“No way the NeoCons and Obama/Clintoon/Kerry nutjobs want peace in Syria. Kerry’s there because Putin now holds all the cards.”
Assad is gaining back more turf every day. Aleppo is now encircled. All he has to do is wait a few more days for the end of the Obama term.
The parties involved can sign any number of documents. But there will be no peace in Syria until after the genocide of either the Jihadists or the Aliwites, Christians and Muslims from the losing side(s).
