The stated US Interest of eliminating ISIS is best served by joining Russia in supporting Assad in his goal of re-taking all of Syria.

What possible US interest is served by working against that?

Beuller?

We have time for this, but none for the wall. I’m really starting to dislike President McCain.

Putin has his thumb up his behind, he’s not fighting ISIS, not much.

And Assad is the biggest buyer of ISIS oil and gas, he isn’t either.

Assad is just out trying to make more refugees for Syria and people support this clown.

Keeping the Iranians and Hezbollah out.

Your mistake is assuming Putin wants ISIS defeated. It’s in his interest to keep Syria dysfunctional and Assad totally reliant on Russia. Putin is running the same KGB play book in Ukraine. Keep a conflict simmering and stoke it at the time of his choosing.

We are trying to eliminate ISIS and their ilk. For some reason Assad and Putin do not see it that way. I had always thought that Assad and Putin wanted to get rid of ISIS. Makes one wonder.

If we’re going to continue invading and bombing Syria, let’s bomb them with great big heavy wads of the Congressional Declaration of War Against Syria.
