Syria's foreign minister said on Monday his country welcomed any potential military strikes by by the U.S. in Syria targeting the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria's terrorist bases, but warned that the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad should be warned first.
The Assad regime is mired in a three-year-old civil war, and has been losing ground to Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants.
"Syria is ready to cooperate and coordinate with regional and international efforts to combat terror in accordance with U.N. resolutions and respect of Syrian sovereignty," Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem told a press conference in Damascus.
"Everyone is welcome, including Britain and the United States, to take action against ISIS and Nusra with a prior full coordination with the Syrian government," al-Moallem continued.
The foreign minister warned that any action taken without direct agreement from Damascus would be an "aggression" against Syrian territory and that Syria would not stay idle.
The Obama administration has been hinting about Syrian intervention since ISIS carried out what American officials called its first "terrorist attack" against the U.S., referring to the killing of American journalist James Foley. On Sunday, Joint Chiefs chair Martin Dempsey indicated the Pentagon was ready for a broader intervention against the militant group if they threaten the U.S. homeland.
During his press conference, al-Moallem said the alleged failed rescue mission for Foley inside Syria that was revealed after his death.
"I can assure you that had there been a coordination between the U.S. administration and the Syrian government, the reported rescue operation by Washington wouldn't have failed," said the 73-year-old veteran diplomat, denouncing in "strongest terms" the killing of the U.S. journalist and welcoming the release of the other....

Conditions.
How bout they get the same “conditions” as Libya, Pakistan, and Yemen. Death from above without any concern for borders, lack of declaration of war or lack of congressional approval.
can we close our borders first and foremost?
Am I asking for too much?
The rebel is the one in the middle with the blue shirt... a rebel without a cause.
I think they are begging for help.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
“Am I asking for too much?”
You are asking your government to act in your interest. So yes, you are asking too much. That’s not how your government works.
evidently
rebel
you mean maverick right
Okay, here’s the conditions:
Get your guys clear — cuz here we come.
I know the Kurds have worked with the US way back to the first Bush, even though he left them high and dry, allowing thousands to be killed. Many say that is why the younger Bush wanted to go into Iraq, we owned them.
Back when people accused Assad of using chemical weapons on his people, could it be that it was Isis who did it? I know their were Syrians who wanted freedom, but there were also extremist who didn't like Assad because he wasn't the right kind of muslim. Isis came out of Syria to begin with right? Now Syria wants Isis destroyed. I wish the few non extremist in the Middle East would get together and take out these evil terrorist.
I figured I would save Harf and Psaki some time, so I created the new Hashtag #ISISisNotAtWarWithUs.
The Avatar is a Golf Ball.
Sounds to me like Syria's warning Obama to not do anything without their permission.
Now we get conditions from Assad. The red line is upon us. Good turn around and reset, Obama-llary.
This LaRaza sycophant idiot has been quiet lately... Along with Lindsey Graham cracker jack.
You sure wouldn’t want a case of the wrong army hit. I was just imagining the logistics.
