US rejects Russian proposal for joint air strikes on Syria

Moscow on Friday proposed that Russia and United States, which have been flying separate bombing campaigns in Syria, launch joint air strikes against jihadists from next week, a proposal the Pentagon swiftly rejected.

"We are proposing to the US, as the head of the International Syria Support Group, to take part as of May 25 in joint operations between the Russian air force and the air force of the coalition," Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu said in televised comments.

Shoigu said that the proposal included strikes against Jabhat al-Nusra and other illegal armed groups that do not support a frail truce brokered by Moscow and Washington in February.

He also proposed that joint strikes target "convoys containing weapons and ammunition (and) armed units that illegally cross the Syrian-Turkish border."

Can't be killin' Obama's own personal Regime Change ISIS terrorists after dumpin' so much taxpayer moneyand advanced weapons on 'em, can we?

Darn embarrassing that the Russians are exposing the Muslim-In-Chief's deception.

In the time it took to read this page, that would be a done deal.
Can’t wait till January, 2017.
We are in for the most interesting 4 or 8 years of our lives.

Yep, what I find interesting is the "Pentagon" can't seem to remember who it was that flew a civilian passenger aircraft into said "Pentagon" on 9/11.

Off topic, but I find it interesting to contemplate what fate would have awaited Shrillary after Benghazi had she been the Russian equivalent of the Sec. of State and failed so badly. I believe she would have been “promoted” beyond her mortal coil.

What makes you think Clinton failed as Secretary of State? Other than the getting caught lying part, that is?

ISIS is Obama’s baby. Created it and supports it. Thanks to the Russians, more people are learning the truth.

Nah.

Simply look at who got promoted under Obama and fire them. Then simply look at who Obama pushed out and re-hire them (with back pay if necessary).

Pentagon fixed...

Yep. The solution there was a lesson in outside-the-box thinking, IIRC.
