#1 As Assad is currently there, he's pretty much involved in it. Sort of a "who's on first" thing.

#2 I believe Israel would support a truncated Syria led by Assad and whose border would begin in the south at Dara, pass through Damascus, include Homs and Hama and end north of the border at Latakia. The inclusion of Homs and Hama would give the state strategic depth and would serve to protect the Russian base at Tartus. If the West had any sense it would include Syria east of the Euphrates from Tallal-Abyad to Dayr az-Zawr in a Kurdish state carved from both Iraq and Syria.

#3 We're going to pretend Erdogan has any input at this point.

#4 I hope it is just nodding, but Erdy has geographic position and Obama's ear. The first can be solved with the liberation of Constantinople and at least a five mile buffer zone on each bank of the Bospherus, the latter...well that is a lot of ear.

I think he would prefer a MoBro buddy, somebody who also hates the Kurds, or at least won't mind if Erdy kills Kurds.
