The United States has begun reconnaissance flights over Syria and is sharing intelligence about jihadist deployments with Damascus through Iraqi and Russian channels, sources told AFP Tuesday.

"The cooperation has already begun and the United States is giving Damascus information via Baghdad and Moscow," one source close to the issue said on condition of anonymity.

The comments came a day after Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said Syria was willing to work with the international community against the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) group, and U.S. officials said they were poised to carry out surveillance flights over Syria.

“I'm so confused.
Am I in the right country? Is this all a dream?”

Just a nightmare scenario created by yours truly Barrack Hussein Obama.

So, instead of trying to topple Syria and Assad, we are now helping him kill his enemies?

Maybe Juan MeCain can 'plain it all to us?

The administration has no foreign policy except to destroy all our past alliances and bolster our enemies. The administration has no strategy other than to weaken the US military and to help our enemies gain their goals by our “leading from behind.”

If any of us can figure out what is going with the what and why the administration is doing things in the middle east, then we have achieved something that the administration doesn’t know itself; other than to destroy the strength, reputation and dependability of the US on the world stage.

EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.

OK I am totally confused. The US built terrorist training camps in Jordan and Iraq, trained terrorists to overthrow Assad, who in turned joined ISIS, who is now actually taking over 1/3 of Syria and 1/3 of Iraq, and now we are providing military intelligence to the guy (Assad) we were trying to kill so he can defeat the terrorists we trained and armed. Can someone get me a drink? I think I need a drink.

That doesn’t make sense to you? Well, don’t go for a job in foreign policy. With that attitude, you wouldn’t go far.
