The United States on Thursday offered Russia a broad new military partnership in Syria, hoping the attraction of a unified campaign against the Islamic State group and Al Qaeda and a Russian commitment to ground Syria's bombers could end five years of civil war. The deal, if finalized, could dramatically alter America's role in the conflict.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was to present the new ideas to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on Thursday. The eight-page proposal, a copy of which The Washington Post published, shows the U.S. offering intelligence and targeting sharing, and even joint bombing operations a pact Moscow long had wanted, but Washington resisted.
In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Russia had to limit its targeting to extremist groups such as IS and the Nusra Front, Al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, and not the more moderate opposition forces fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad's government.

Obama will be right behind Putin to give him "support'.
Snicker....
Birds of a feather...
Kerry presents new ideas that the Kremlin already transmitted to experts to tell Kerry what to do.
Our government is utterly incompetent and leaderless.
Re-re-reset??
Obama has spent the country’s money on everything but our military so he’s trying to find a partner. He is a disgrace.
Putin isn’t doing anything until the election is over.
Any deal now would be insane on his part.
This was all Trump effect.
This time it is the Russians who would need to trust, but verify. I think they have the full measure of this administration and their Republican fellow travelers, however.
Amazing. This partenership we offered was they clear all targets with us and we have veto power. They ensure the Syrian Air Force is grounded. And they begin the process to remove Assad from power. LOL
Why didn’t we try this in the 50s?? We coulda just offered a “partnership” and ended the cold war. They just remove the MiGs from Korea, withdraw from Berlin, and clear all their plans with us, then they can be our “partner”. Amazing disconnect.
This is an Obama admin proposal, so... what’s the catch?
Take responsibility for what you do in life, quit trying to pass it off on to someone else...
YOU TWO are the ones who think the Muslim Brotherhood is this great body of people, WE AMERICANS know they are nothing but ruthless killers, does yesterday in Nice, France ring a bell?
The sooner these two are over and done with won't be soon enough for America and her people...!!!
Why so I get the feeling that O’bummer just wants to get a line on what RUSSIA knows - so they can then warn their
brothers’
Kerry want to drop leaflets before Russia bombs anybody
Watch the heat get turned up on Russia directly
Push for rump Ukraine to join NATO. Arrests, financial investigations of Putin allies and cronies in places like London. Further isolation in international organizations. Don’t discount either a string of Saudi-sponsored Chechyn terror attacks
The catch? Essentially the deal was “abandon all of YOUR strategic goals, adopt ours, obey American CENTCOM commanders and accept they lead everything in Syria, bomb nothing without our permission, and don’t attack our jihadis trying to oust your ally”.
Other than that there isn’t any catch.
I believe Ms Hillary has already done that with her server.
“The Washington Post published, shows the U.S. offering intelligence.”
Us offering intelligence to anyone is really kinda funny. That’s one thing we are fresh out of, in the larger sense.
Russia’s problem with Obama/Hillary/Kerry — how to stop uncontrollable laughter? ( how embarrassing for USA, Obama and Comrades create the slaughter and then offer bs “intelligence!?” Pathetic, just pathetic. Please pray for America that we outlast this destructive regime and can repair the damage—).
In todays news, ISIS Suffers major losses and defeats in Middle East and North Africa.
Now THAT picture says a thousand words....I love it!!!
