Syria's Gettysburg?
To: MinorityRepublican
I wouldn’t give this scum the honor of being compared to the south.
Outnumbered 2 to 1 with almost no munitions factories at the beginning of the war and still almost won.

Since when does the Russian military fight for a settlement when a warm water port is at stake, and there is an opportunity to undermine the US and open up more military sales?

Syria's Gettysburg? Or Obama's Bay of Pigs.

The “rebels” appear to be Islamists. It’s difficult to be sympathetic.

Al-Qaeda backed rebels are about to be vanquished. There’s still ISIS around to fight on another day, though.

This is great news for people who don’t want a wahabbist theocracy to replace Assad. Very good news for Syrian Christians.

helped reinforce opposition suspicions that Russia and its Syrian government allies are more interested in securing a military victory over the rebels than negotiating a settlement. What a concept.

Western backed Rebels (Nusra Front)
At least they're not as radical as ISIS!
To: DesertRhino
Bad news for the pro-ISIS white house.

Only the west has the nutty idea that only official card carrying “isus” members are bad.

The CIA will now pull out their ‘we really didn’t want to do this, but now we have to’ plan.
Expect major events, specifically aircraft. And soon.

...opposition suspicions that Russia and its Syrian government allies are more interested in securing a military victory over the rebels than negotiating a settlement. I envy the authors' innocence. "Negotiated settlement" isn't exactly prominent in the Russian military tradition, and anyone who thinks otherwise is encouraged to ask the Germans. "Wait! But...you mean they intend to win?" Uh...yeah...
To: MinorityRepublican
and helped reinforce opposition suspicions that Russia and its Syrian government allies are more interested in securing a military victory over the rebels than negotiating a settlement. What? One side wants to win? What kind of strategy is that? /sarc

McCain, Graham and Rubio are going to be so broken-hearted that their jihadists friends are taking a beating.

Western backed Rebels (Nusra Front) And their spiffing new fleet purchased Toyota (with Desert Package) that Western Superpowers "fighting ISIS" just can't seem to find! It must be the super-secret ISIS cloaking device - the same one used on the endless oil tanker convoy to Turkey. But apparently Vlad knows how to defeat this cloaking device.
