      Working w Russia to destroy ISIS in Syria helps US & EU to halt jihadi operations in West. Arming FSA offers no leverage, only Kills Syrians

          Sad to see you abandon Syria. Giving it to Russia and Iran. Good for you Mr Landis. Never thought you of all people would abandon Syrians.

          It wasn't I who gave Syria to Russia & Iran. Began in 1948 when US sided w Israel against Syria. Damas began to look to USSR 4 mil support.

          And Iran doesn't even exist - Assad as the main enemy for millions of Syrians doesn't either. All good then.

          Is the CIA arming insurgents in Syria likely to improve human rights or promote Western oriented democracy? We've seen the outcome. End it.

          Perhaps but this doesn't erase the fact that they were tools that US gov & minions use against us when they want to invade/do regime change.
