Rebel on Rebel violence: when will it end?




Oncupinar Border Crossing, Turkey (CNN) -- Al Qaeda-linked militants were on the verge of capturing a strategic border gate between Turkey and opposition-controlled northern Syria late Wednesday night.

Hardline Islamist fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) made their advance toward the Turkish border hours after they attacked and pushed more moderate Syrian rebels out of the nearby Syrian town of Azaz.

"We are trying to bring reinforcements to make sure that the border crossing is not lost to the ISIS," said Abu Rashid, a commander from the Northern Storm Brigade, a rebel contingent from the opposition Free Syrian Army.

That rebel faction has controlled Azaz and the Syrian side of the Oncupinar-Bab el Salama border crossing with Turkey for the past year after it wrested control of the town from the government of Bashar al-Assad.

The fighting erupted first erupted in Azaz between FSA rebels and ISIS militants on Wednesday afternoon.

Where have the Russians been all along? Their worldwide leadership on the issue would have avoided the escalating tensions of the last 30 days or so.



I dunno...backing Assad and the Iranian mullahs, like they always have?

Oh wait, was that a rhetorical question?

Putin's OpEd is Putin giving Idi Amin Jr. a public Golden Shower, after he helped him look like a complete dope on the world stage. It makes you wonder how long they waited for Junior to stick his neck out and say something stupid?

Lil' Idi is out of his league.

My thoughts are this: Lil' Idi was working some sort of deal with Putin to "keep him in line"...


...sorry, had to stifle a laugh there...


...anyhow, by telling Andropov...er...Putin that he would have "more flexibility to act after the election." Remember that line caught off-mic? Then after the election, Idi Amin Jr. stiffed Breznev...uh...I mean Putin - which is typical for Junior, as he regularly shafts anyone who helps him - and Putin has been looking for a little bit of payback ever since. Enter Idi and his big mouth with the "red line" comment, and the rest is history.

Lil' Idi was out-maneuvered. Lil' Idi wanted to flaunt his manhood (all three inches of it), and then had to walk-back his bravado like a sniveling twit. Oh, and he did it on the world stage for everyone to see. So it is little wonder that the Brazilians are feeling a little emboldened as of late.

Sounds like a 'win-win' situation turned into a 'win-win-win' situation. Applause Applause Applause

The thing nobody has explained to me is: Hezbollah is fighting on the side of the government, Al Qaeda is fighting on the side of the rebels. Obama wants to jump in to stop this?!
