[Hurriyet Daily News] Medical aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres denied that Taliban fighters were firing from its hospital at Afghan and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... forces before a suspected U.S. air strike killed at least 19 people in a battle to oust the Islamist murderous Moslems from an Afghan city.
Fighting raged around the northern scenic provincial capital of Kunduz for a seventh day as government forces backed by American air power seek to drive out Talibs who seized the city almost a week ago.
Decomposing bodies littered the streets and residents said that food was scarce.
MSF has said an air strike, probably carried out by U.S.-led coalition forces, killed 19 staff and patients on Oct.3 in a hospital it runs in Kunduz, leaving 37 maimed.
The U.S. military said it conducted an air strike "in the vicinity" of the hospital, as it targeted Taliban murderous Moslems who were directly firing on U.S. military personnel.
President Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... said the defense department had ordered a full investigation into the incident as the U.N. human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... chief said the assault on the hospital was "utterly tragic, inexcusable" and could amount to a war crime.

ugly things, leaders can be the worst, esp when they control who can call them ugly.... just need a little kid telling everyone the "captain obvious" TRUTH, The king has no clothes!
[DAWN] The International medical charity Doctors Without Borders said on Sunday it had withdrawn from the northern Afghan city of Kunduz after a deadly Arclight airstrike destroyed its hospital and killed 19 people.
The humanitarian crisis in the city, which briefly fell to the Taliban last week before the government launched a counteroffensive, has been growing increasingly dire, with shops shuttered because of ongoing fighting and roads made impassable by mines planted by murderous Moslems.
"All critical patients have been referred to other health facilities and no MSF staff are working in our hospital," said Kate Stegeman, the communications manager for Doctors Without Borders, using the French acronym for the organization.

Exterminators sans Borders is the coming thing.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Russia's intervention in Syria will curtail the spread of terrorism and help deal a fatal blow to ISIS in the war-torn country, Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said on Saturday.
Russia launched air strikes in Syria on Wednesday in its biggest Middle East intervention in decades, marking a dramatic escalation in a more than four-year-old civil war in which every major country in the region has a stake.
"Russia's entrance, given its potential and capabilities, is something we see is going to have an effect on limiting terrorism in Syria and eradicating it," Shoukry said in a televised interview on Saturday.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Filipina, held along with a Syrian national on Wednesday for involvement in terrorist activities, was wearing a boom jacket at the time of her arrest.
"She would wear an explosive vest when the Syrian man was out of the house to threaten any intruders," the Saudi Interior Ministry front man said on Saturday.
The man, identified as Yasser Mohammed Shafiq Al-Barazi, had bobby-trapped his home in Al-Fayhaa district. It took security forces 12 hours to defuse the bombs and secured the premises.
Al-Barazi, who entered the Kingdom in 2010, is believed to have forced the Filipna, identified as Lady Gioi Aban Bali Nang, to live with him after she bravely ran away from her sponsor more than 15 months ago.
"She helped him (Al-Barazi) in assembling the bombs and sewing boom jackets," said the front man. "The house was booby-trapped and explosive devises were planted inside and outside.
The culprits did not care about the safety of innocent neighbors. The police had to lure Al-Barazi out of the neighborhood to arrest him," said the front man, adding that the security agencies also had to send in a team of experts to disarm the Filipina.
The security agencies found at the Al-Fayhaa house an integrated factory for manufacturing kabooms, vests and belts. They seized two boom belts, a machine-gun with three magazines and 88 rounds, two hard disk drives and three cameras.
Al-Barazi had also taken a second location in Al-Jazira district in Riyadh as a shelter for bandidosgunnies wanted by the security authorities.
The security agencies found no one at the Al-Jazira location, but furniture and clothes were found indicating that "the host expected to receive guests".
The security agencies suspect that the Al-Jazira house was used as a refuge for jacket wallahs planning attacks, said the front man.
The raids were the second major security operation in the capital in the past month. Security forces captured two bandidosgunnies and seized weapons and an explosive vest in raids on Sept. 15.
The Security authorities said that they have jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... a total of 135 Syrian expatriates for being involved in terrorist activities during the past 12 years. This year alone, 62 bandidosgunnies and supporters of Daesh (the so-called ISIS) were arrested. Most of the bandidosgunnies were Saudis, Yemenis and Syrians.

[DAWN] Bangladesh Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums.. Sunday dismissed the self-styled Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... 's (IS) claim to have killed two foreigners, saying police still had no evidence to confirm the group was behind the murders.
Her remarks came a day after 66-year-old Japanese citizen Hoshi Kunio was rubbed out in northern Bangladesh, the second foreigner to be murdered in the South Asian nation in less than a week.
A 50-year-old Italian, Cesare Tavella, was rubbed out last week near Dhaka's diplomatic zone in another attack also claimed by IS.
"We have still not found any involvement (of IS). We have to investigate," Hasina told news hounds.
"We've got no clues. If someone claims responsibility, why should we have to accept it?" she added.
"Until we find out the link through investigation, I don't think there is any reason for us to accept it."
Italian aid worker Tavella was shot three times on September 28 by attackers who fled on a cycle of violence ─ an attack the Bangladesh government described as an "isolated incident" in an attempt to calm security fears.
Kunio was riding in a rickshaw when he was rubbed out by three unidentified attackers riding a cycle of violence in the town of Kaunia in Rangpur district.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has rejected any IS presence in the country but said the two killings appeared to be linked.
"I can again say boldly that there is no existence of IS in Bangladesh," he said on Sunday, adding such murders were "an attempt to create instability in the country".

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] British Prime Minister David Cameron ... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... signaled that he would push ahead with plans for a vote in the British parliament to approve military action against ISIS snuffies in Syria, The Daily Telegraph newspaper said.
Cameron was quoted as saying that British military attacks in Syria "may well become possible." Previously, Cameron has said he sees a strong case for extending British air strikes to Syria from Iraq.

The air frame is one thing. The engines and avionics quite another. It requires after burners to get the speed which consumes fuel in big gulps. Contrast with the F-22 with supercruise. The F-22's radars (the F-35's was so good they retrofitted it into the F-22), target tracking, and battle area information integration far surpass anything that the SU-34 has. Not to mention stealth materials.
In a war game, I would keep our side even though I wouldn't choose our current leadership....

From the back garden of Istvan Molnar's home, you can see Hungary's newly erected 'Iron Curtain' in the distance.
The razor-wire fence has become a defining symbol of the migrant crisis. The barricade -- 4m high and constructed in six weeks on the back of prison labour -- runs the length of the country's 110-mile border with Serbia. The Berlin Wall, by comparison, was 96 miles long. This hinterland between Hungary and the Balkans was once the main entry point to the European Union for the diaspora pouring out of the Middle East.
Today, on the Hungarian side, waiting for anyone who breaches the barricade, are squads of police reinforced by SWAT teams from Hungary's elite Counter Terrorism Centre (TEC). The role of these officers, in black commando uniforms, is to 'capture persons that pose a danger for themselves and the public' -- a mission statement that leaves little doubt about the way Budapest views the wave of asylum seekers we have all seen on the TV news.
Every country, without exception, has the right to defend and control its borders. That's a basic building-block fact of sovereignty. Countries that fail to do this fail to remain countries. The problem isn't that Hungary is defending its border: the problem is that Euro elites don't believe in Europe anymore, and don't think anyone else should, either. We have a similar problem in the U.S. ...

A leaked confidential report estimates that Germany will take in 1.5 Million refugees in 2015. 920,000 of which are expected to arrive in the 4th quarter.
The daily influx is estimated to amount 6000-10000 "illegal border crossings" for the 4th quarter.
Officially recognized refugees are expected to bring in 4-8 family members per refugee. That's 6000 * 365 * 5 > 10,000,000 / year
It is feared that the supplies needed for building makeshift camps will run out.
[REUTERS] Germany needs to limit the number of refugees it takes in or even close its borders, conservative allies of German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom... said at the weekend, as the country deals with record inflows of people fleeing from war and poverty. There is a fine line between kindness and stupidity.
Around 800,000 migrants are expected to arrive in Germany, Europe's largest and richest economy, this year and complaints from politicians, the federal states and the municipalities that they cannot cope are growing. Actually it's not all that fine.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Europe needed to restrict the refugee intake, and members of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the sister party to Merkel's conservatives in Bavaria, said Germany should shut its borders. Bavaria shares a border with Austria and has borne the brunt of the influx.
"If as many asylum seekers continue to come to Germany as in recent weeks, we won't have any choice but to temporarily stop taking people in and to close the borders to them," CSU politician Stephan Mayer told newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAS).
Thousands of people are streaming into Germany every day, attracted by relatively liberal asylum laws and generous benefits. Some 6,750 people arrived in Bavaria alone on Friday and another 6,000 piled in on Saturday, a police front man said.
The question is whether this particular barn door can be closed. And then there's the next election, which Frau Merkel most decidedly deserves not to win.

[Hurriyet Daily News] President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... has branded the Supreme Election Board (YSK) wrong after it rejected calls for the relocation of ballot boxes in several eastern and southeastern districts, saying it would be responsible for any undesired consequences.
"This is where the YSK is on the wrong track. It is the district election authorities which determine the voting neighborhoods in the districts. The YSK is not really interested in this," Erdogan said Oct. 4 at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport before departing for La Belle France's Strasbourg to attend an "anti-terror rally."
"I hope we will not come across the problems we encountered during the June 7 elections. If so, the YSK will be responsible for them," Erdogan said.
In a majority of votes, the YSK rejected calls for the relocation of ballot boxes in several districts.
The YSK's decision came after a number of local election councils in eastern and southeastern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... asked that polling stations be moved in certain neighborhoods due to security concerns in the upcoming election amid deadly renewed conflict between security forces and faceless myrmidons of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

[Hurriyet Daily News] The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has declared its readiness to form a post-election coalition government with all parties except the Peoples' Democratic Party, which it described as an "extension of the PKK."
As the MHP unveiled its campaign manifesto on Oct. 3 ahead of the Nov. 1 snap election, its leader Devlet Bahceli said that in the event that the polls result in a similar stalemate to that seen after the July 7 election, his party was ready to work with the Justice and Development Party (AKP) or the Republican People's Party (CHP), while stressing that their "aim is a single-party MHP government."
Bahceli pledged to put a final end to the already collapsed grinding of the peace processor that aimed to peacefully end the decades-long conflict between the government and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). He similarly vowed to lift legislation passed for the grinding of the peace processor and to try "all who supported or collaborated with terrorists."
The MHP's election manifesto also promises to move the relocated Suleyman Sah Tomb back to its previous location in Syria.
The party's manifesto, headed "You Know Best, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ," is a five-pronged strategy focusing on social and administrative reforms, the economy, poverty, counter-terrorism, and anti-corruption. Its slogan in the upcoming election will be: "Vote for the future of the country."
There are some minor changes compared to the MHP's June 7 election declaration.
One of these is the MHP's pledge to "employ an average of 700,000 young people every year," as well as to hire a total of 120,000 teachers in 2016. It also vowed to pay 1,400 Turkish Liras ($467) twice a year to retired people and cap the price of oil for farmers.

[Hurriyet Daily News] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has become a state of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), with all means of the Republic of Turkey, from its president to low-ranking government officials, working on behalf of the AKP, Republican People's Party (CHP) head Kemal Kilicdaroglu has said.
"The AKP has become a state in itself, and now we have a confrontation between an oppressive state and citizen advocates of democracy on the table," Kilicdaroglu told daily Hurriyet on Oct. 3 on the sidelines of his first election rally in the southern province of Mersin.
Kilicdaroglu said there was a Turkish state with all its means and organs, from the president to the administrative officials of the lowest rank, working on behalf of the AKP.
"Civil servants and governors openly declare that they are AKP's babus bureaucrats and governors. Standing with democracy, freedom, the rule of law, gender equality, ending poverty and reform policies has become harder. Citizens will vote between these two mindsets. In terms of oppression, the source is clear: the AKP," Kilicdaroglu said.
Kilicdaroglu said Turkey was not experiencing a normal democratic struggle and that voters should bear this in mind before the Nov. 1 election.
"All of us would want to wake up to a beautiful Turkey on the morning of Nov. 2. We want to wake up to a [new] Turkey," Kilicdaroglu said, adding that the common desire of all people was to have a country with full democracy and an end to oppressive administration.
Kilicdaroglu also made remarks on the Kurdish grinding of the peace processor.
"[The Kurdish issue] is the main problem of Turkey. It is politics that should solve this problem. We have bills to propose in our roadmap [to solve this problem]," Kilicdaroglu said, stressing that the CHP would take the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) as the negotiating party, not Kandil.

Given Moscow's friendly relations with Turkey, its actions in Syria are "worrying and disturbing," Erdogan said, warning that they would "isolate Russia in the region".
Russia and Turkey have long been at odds over the crisis in Syria, with Moscow emerging as Assad's key international backer and Ankara urging his ouster as the only solution to the conflict.

And the grave is likely to be your's, among others, Recep.
US Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said on Sunday the Middle East would be more stable if Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were still in power in Libya and Iraq, saying it's "not even a contest."
Trump mentioned the countries in comparison to current efforts to drive Syrian President Bashar al-Assad out of power.
"You can make the case, if you look at Libya, look at what we did there, it's a mess," Trump said on NBC. I don't like agreeing with Trump---but, when he's right, he's right.
He's wrong. Saddam and Daffy helped create the current problem. Brutality loses in the end. Where we went wrong: we pulled out of Iraq prematurely, and we led from behind in Libya. There's a common reason why we did this. Think about it...
#1
Gaddafi didn't aspire to annex his neighbors. Might mess around with terrorists groups here and there, but never seem too keen to add to his territories.
#7
An examination at the marco-level, say over the past 75 years, might confirm the Donald's assessment.
My humble opinion - if they want to live under communist domination, or in a dictatorial Islamic regime, do NOT stop them. With the possible exception of the loss of our own blood and treasure, the long-term outcomes do not appear to change a great deal. I must once again point to the Swiss model of non-involvement.
If you are in a pub and see a man and woman quarreling or exchanging blows, do not finish your pint, but rather find the door immediately.

I've been saying this for a while. We should disengage from the Middle East. We don't go there and we don't let them come here. If they want to sell us their oil, fine. If they don't we'll let them eat sand. We don't give any of them any foreign aid. If they want to fight each other, let them fight. It's none of our business. Iran is the only exception. They should be nuked.
#10
Iraq was the counterweight to Iran. But Iraq was led by a mad dog. I agreed with Bush's decision to go into Iraq but implicit in that was the understanding that the US would hang around to be the counterweight against Iran. The bumbling neophyte currently in the white house screwed the pooch by pulling out of Iraq early with quite predictable consequences.
The donk's own this one.

[TheNewAmerican] The migrant tsunami that is already deluging the European Union is on track to also swamp America. A huge nationwide "refugee resettlement" network is already in place to ramp up the escalation planned by the U.S. State Department for acceptance of United Nations-designated migrants. A map of the United States produced by the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (shown above) shows the areas where its "contractor" organizations are set up to bring the migrant wave to what the State Department propagandists calls "welcoming communities."

And no doubt there is a great incentive to settle as many democrat voters refugees as well. I'm sure all of them will be strictly vetted for party loyalty being the good kind of refugees...

[THENEWSTRIBE] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... 's (PTI) founding member Akbar S Babar has alleged that the party has been receiving funds from Jewish and Indian lobbies for furthering their agendas, Express Tribune reported. Dawn carried the same story but left out the "Jewish and Indian" parts.
Babar levelled these allegations during a television programme and said he has submitted what he calls documentary evidence with the Election Commission of Pakistain (ECP).
According to a report of the Jewish Funding Directory, foreigners, including American Barry C. Schneps and US-born Indian Indur Dosanjh, had been funding the PTI for lobbying in their favour and interests.Babar, responding to the report, said an audit in 2011 had revealed illegal funding in the party but its report was not made public. He claimed he had asked the PTI chairman to audit the funds received from foreigners but he had refused to do so.
Babar filed a case against the party on November 14, 2014, pointing out the incoming funds.
During the hearing of his petition in the ECP, the PTI lawyer raised objections that the commission did not have the jurisdiction to hear the case. The ECP, however, rejected his argument. In May, the party changed its lawyer for the second time and nominated Anwar Mansoor Khan to pursue the case.
Babar alleged the PTI's audit report neither mentions the said case nor contains information about foreign funding.

[ARA] Extremists of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) executed on Sunday two Iraqi men for being gay, local sources in the city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... reported.
The ISIS turbans brutally threw the two young men off a building's roof under the pretext they were a gay couple.
"On Sunday afternoon, Daesh (ISIS) called on the people of Mosul to gather in the square of Bab al-Toub in order to witness the execution of the two allegedly men," an eyewitness told ARA News on the condition of anonymity.
"The victims were taken to the top of a building and were brutally thrown off the roof."
The ISIS-linked Sharia Court had issued a decision to execute every gay man by throwing him from the top of a building.
The myrmidon group has executed dozens of allegedly gay men in its areas of control in Syria and Iraq in the recent months.
"Daesh accuses people of being gay only on basis of some superficial information without any investigation. Although the Islamic law bans homosexuality, but the brutal punishment by Daesh has never been witnessed throughout history," civil rights activist Raed Ahmed told ARA News.

[IsraelTimes] Emergency meeting approves wider use of administrative detention, fast-track demolition of terrorists' homes; security cabinet to convene Monday
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrapped up a four-hour security meeting Sunday evening on the recent uptick in violence in Jerusalem and the West Bank, ordering new measures to crack down on the wave of terror after two separate stabbing attacks in the capital Saturday, one of them fatal.
According to Channel 2, among the measures discussed were an increase in the use of administrative detention [that is the jailing of suspects without trial] for Paleostinian rioters and terror suspects, an increase in the deployment of security forces in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and the reintroduction of the controversial policy of demolishing terrorists' homes.
At the end of the meeting, Netanyahu announced that he instructed security forces to "fast-track the razing of terrorists' homes, expand the use of administrative detention against Paleostinian rioters, reinforce the presence of security forces in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and ban those who incite [to terror] from the Old City and the Temple Mount."
Following the terror attacks Saturday, sources close to the prime minister were quoted as saying: "They want a third intifada? They'll get a second Defensive Shield."
Netanyahu said Israel was "waging a fight to the death against Paleostinian terror."
Netanyahu met with Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot, the head of the Shin Bet security agency, Yoram Cohen, and other security officials.
According to Channel 10, security officials told Netanyahu that the recent wave of violence was just that, and not a third intifada.
Security officials also told the PM, according to the report, that despite Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... 's UN speech and recent tensions, security coordination between Israeli and Paleostinian forces was ongoing.
Netanyahu told those present to act to calm tensions. He was said to have decided not to approve new construction plans in settlements in the West Bank in response to the terrorism.
The PM came back from New York Sunday afternoon after attending and speaking at the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... General Assembly and went directly to the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv to discuss the security situation, less than 24 hours after two terror attacks Saturday night in Jerusalem left two people dead and three injured, including a toddler.
Following the terror attacks Saturday, sources close to the prime minister were quoted as saying: "They want a third intifada? They'll get a second Defensive Shield," in reference to the IDF's crackdown on terrorism in the West Bank in 2002 in response to the second intifada.
"There will be many steps taken in the field which will harm Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,'s infrastructure," the sources said.
Netanyahu was to meet with the security cabinet Monday night after the conclusion of the Sukkot holiday to discuss operations against Hamas and other terror groups in the West Bank, Israel Hayom reported.
Earlier Sunday, police took the drastic step of barring Paleostinians from Jerusalem's Old City in the wake of an attack there Saturday in which a Paleostinian killed two Israelis and maimed a child and a further stabbing early Sunday morning in which an Israeli teen was maimed.
[IsraelTimes] The Paleostinian terror group Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... threatened a return to the use of jacket wallahs in attacks against Israelis -- attacks that devastatingly typified the Second Intifada in 2000-2005.
In a video newly published on Paleostinian social media, entitled "Letter #1," a supposed Islamic Jihad member can be seen preparing for a suicide kaboom inside Israel dressed as an Israeli soldier, as a montage of recent images of violence on the Temple Mount, across Jerusalem, and in the West Bank flash onscreen.
Footage of the making of an boom belt -- which suicide bombers used during the Second Intifada -- can also be seen in the video.
The would-be terrorist can then be seen in the frame smiling while filming his "shaheed [martyr] video" (usually released after a given attack showing the bomber delivering his last message before embarking on the mass killings). Then he is shown dressed in IDF uniform walking up to a bus stop where other "soldiers" are waiting. A bus pulls up and the screen fades to black.

Nobody actually expected them to express sorrow over the Israelis the deaders had killed, or sympathy for bereaved Jews, so at least that expectation was confirmed.
[ARA] Russia's military intervention in Syria "was vital for the entire Middle East", Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Light of the Alawites... said on Sunday.
This comes as Moscow stepped up its Arclight airstrikes in Syria.
Assad said that Syria's alliance with Russia, Iran and Iraq "must succeed or else the whole region will be destroyed".
"The chances of success for this coalition are great," the embattled Syrian president said in a interview with the Iranian state TV on Sunday.
Russia has been conducting Arclight airstrikes on positions of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) for five consecutive days. However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... Western critics and Syrian opposition activists said the Russian strikes are mainly hitting areas held by anti-Assad moderate rebels.
Western powers emphasized that Assad must step down for a transitional phase in Syria to succeed and end the more than four years war that has claimed lives of at least 250,000 people.
"If the solution was me stepping down, I would not hesitate," Assad said, adding it is up to the Syrian people to decide who rules the country "not foreign leaders".
The Syrian president said that the US-led coalition against ISIS "has failed to achieve any results".
"I don't think that coalition will achieve anything except a certain balance between those forces on the ground to keep the fire raging," he said.

DESTROY THE ISIS/ISIL NOW, OR ELSE PAY THE PRICE IN COMING YEARS-N-DECADES!
A price in which the entire non-Muslim World may NEVAR! recover.
[McClatchyDC] WASHINGTON
While they confer about "de-conflicting" I would have loved to have been at the meeting during which this term was, er, "undisinvented".
their bombing raids in Syria, U.S. and Russian military officials also might want to discuss what the word "terrorist" means.
Raul: One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
From "Die another day".
A liberal conceit is that their beliefs are the only ones that matter. Hence PC over free speech. The bammer refuses to see the world the way it is and deal with it accordingly.
