Russia has resumed bombing moderate opposition fighters in Syria, a U.S. military officer from Baghdad told reporters at the Pentagon Tuesday. "We have seen them begin operations again in that region," Air Force Maj. Gen. Peter Gersten, the U.S.-led coalition's deputy commander for operations and intelligence, told Fox News. President Obama called Russian President Vladimir Putin last week asking him to help "press" Syria to end its airstrikes, according to a White House statement. The strikes appeared to violate the ceasefire brokered by the United States and Russia in February. "The two leaders committed to intensify their efforts to shore up the Cessation of Hostilities and affirmed the need to end attacks by all parties," the statement read. Fox News has learned Russia also restarted airstrikes against Syrian opposition fighters, some backed by the United States. Russia claims it is striking Jabhat al-Nusra, otherwise known as the al-Nusra Front, Al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate. The group is not bound to the ceasefire agreement.

gee, that’s too bad.
Next we’ll condemn them in the harshest tone and if that doesn’t work, fire up a #hashtag??
Maybe Obama and company should stop resupplying the “opposition” and the US war against Assad.
whomever’s side wins that war, they will be defending them forever against “extremists”.
let it be Russia.
Maybe Barrack Hussein Obozo should put them on triple secret probabion.....
And odumbo is sending more of our troops over there? He better damn well make note to the Russians where our people are before they too get bombed.
Even if I had a problem with this the worst that our so called president would do about it is hit Putin with his purse.
maybe he wants a war.
martial and all.

The only problem is the Russians didn’t get them all the first time.
By moderates he means al-Qaeda. That's right - in Syria al-Qaeda are the moderates.
A little good news on a rainy day!
US refuses to help sort out the terrorists in Aleppo: Russian FM. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov announced on Tuesday that the US refuses to work to identify and sort terrorists in Aleppo. He pointed out that the problem lies in that the US and its relevant structures are unwilling to actually work on distinguishing between the terrorists and the opposition in the areas where terrorist groups are operating. He noted that “the US and Syrian opposition had used the situation in Aleppo to hinder the talks in Geneva, and instead of dealing seriously with the information that Russia provided about the violations of the cessation of hostilities, they presented politicized demands that threaten to abort the talks.” He added that there is a plan to resolve the issues related to the violations of the cessation of hostilities agreement, adding that the violations have recently become less frequent. The Russian diplomat said that Aleppo issue is being politicized to the fullest and so is the issue of humanitarian aid, noting that the Syrian government has allowed international humanitarian organizations to provide aid and opened the roads to a number of residential areas. He said Moscow hopes that the current round of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva will achieve progress despite of the existing differences. Ryabkov confirmed that Russia will not negotiate with anybody about the issues related to the future structure of the Syrian government or any figures which will occupy this post or that. About the future of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Ryabkov reaffirmed that this is not the subject of negotiations which Russia is participating in. almasdarnews.com/article/us-refuses-help-sort-terrorists-aleppo-russian-fm/ | Al-Masdar News
One occasionally wonders if Putin would like to be President of the United States.
He’d certainly do a far better job than obama.
Obama: Uh, I-I've never negotiated before.
Putin: Do you mind if I try?
Obama: No, sure, sure, sure.
[shouts]
Obama: We're sending somebody in to negotiate!
[Putin walks into the room and shoots an ISIS between the eyes. As he falls, the other ISIS drop their weapons and bow over him, keening]
Putin: Anybody else want to negotiate?
Obama: Wh-where did he learn to n-negotiate like that?
I’m deeply saddened..
lol. the “moderates” are dying.
it’s like saying there’s “moderate” wolf packs.
