#1 Not s lot of focus in that approach.

I think Assad is a can that can be kicked down the road. I believe a focus on the men in black and their evil twins in Al Nusra is what is needed now.

#3 If he really wanted to defeat ISIS wouldn't it be more logical to ouster the Quatari regime supports and funds ISIS instead of a guy who fights it?

That is, assuming Barak Husein Obama who paved the way for a,n Islamic uptake of Syria and went out of his way to give Egypt to the Islamists, mlater to try to keep them in power, reallay wants to fight ISIS instead of helping it.

#10 The ISIS/ISIL is exclusive or exists independently of Baby Assad, so getting rid of the latter is unlikely to stop anything ala the ISIS + ISIS new BFF Al-Nusra, etal.

The Bammer = USA, OTOH, may lose the support of important allies at a crucial time ... ...

* TOPIX, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > HARPER: CANADA AT WAR WID ISIL, NOT SYRIA, i.e. Baby Assad.
