Another Overview of the Situation in Syria

"The US has given up on the Fee Syrian Army in the north of Syria. Some of the FSA mercenaries, now no longer getting paid, are joining jihadi groups.
The 'rebel' position in the south, supplied by the US through Jordan and Israel is different. There Jabhat al Nusra is leading a southern attack against Damascus disguised under the FSA mantle..."

The Incredible US 'Peace Plan' For Syria - by Thierry Meyssan
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40613.htm
"Several months ago, I explained that the Daesh project corresponds with the US map of the division of the Middle East. In continuation of the Sykes Picot, the US plan aimed to further drastically reduce Syria.
The 'peace' plan of the 'liberal hawks ' consists therefore in achieving the original goals by dividing Syria in two..."

(Aug. 2014) John McCain Conductor Of the Arab Spring and the Caliph - by Thierry Meyssan
http://www.voltairenet.org/article185085.html
"Everyone has noticed the contradiction of those who recently characterized the Islamic Emirate as 'freedom fighters' in Syria and who are indignant today faced with its abuses in Iraq. But if that speech is incoherent in itself, it makes perfect sense in the strategic plan: the same individuals were to be presented as allies yesterday and enemies today, even if they are still on order from Washington."

Hezbollah Confirms Six Fighters Killed in Israel Strike on Syria
http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2015/01/19/393729/Israel-strike-kills-6-He...
"Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has confirmed the deaths of 6 fighters in the newest Israeli airstrike on the southwest strategic Syrian city of Quneitra. The martyrs were reportedly on a field reconnaissance mission in Quneitra when an Israeli helicopter targeted their vehicle.
Analysts believe the new Israeli assault is yet another attempt by Tel Aviv to change the balance of war in favor of the Takfiri militants fighting against Syria..."
Netanyahu Responds To Nasrallah Speech With Big Escalation
http://www.moonofalabama.org/2015/01/netanyahoo-responds-to-nasrallah-sp...
Hassan Nasrallah warned Israel against 'stupid moves'. Israel disregarded the warning. Two points about the attack: Israel is supporting Al Qaeda in Syria, aka Jabhat al Nusra, in the Syrian part of the Golan heights. The attack on Hizbullah today must (also) be understood as direct Israeli support for Al Qaeda.
Nasrallah: 'The Game is Over'

'The game is over', Hezbollah Secretary General Hassam Nasrallah said. All hostile attempts to execute plans in Syria and Iraq failed,' he said in the 3 hour interview with the pan-Arab news channel Al Mayadeen on Jan 15..."
Well, well. It looks like Israel is the airforce for ISIS.
Yesterday, Israeli gunships assassinated Hezbollah leaders who were fighting ISIS in Syria.
Today, the insane rogue Israeli regime announced they also killed an Iranian Republican Guard General who was doing the same.
I'm sure the ISIS fanatics are grateful. Will they carry out an attack in Europe just to honour their Israeli "friends"?
i understand that the ISIS gangsters have been largely driven out of Kobani. Nice to hear.
except they keep making more..

John Baird Invited To 'Make-Or-Break' Syria Meeting in Davos
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/01/20/john-baird-invited-syria-meeting...
"A copy of an internal memo obtained by The Canadian Press stamped' strictly confidential' says that half the Syrian population - some 9.5 million people - have been forced from their homes. The internal violence that erupted in Syria has left an estimated 220,000 dead.
'We are thus at a possible 'make-or-break' moment for the future viability of Syria as a state, with serious consequences for Syrians, the region, and the world, the memo states.
One of the goals of the talks is to 'mitigate the impact of the conflict on the future viability of Syria as a state,' it adds. The Canadian Press has also learned that Baird is planning bilateral talks with Saudi Prince Turki al Faisal at the Davos summit."
Israel, Al Nusra Cooperating Against Syria: Media
http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2015/01/21/394052/Israel-alNusra-cooperati...
"Citing reports on Syrian opposition websites, the Haaretz newspaper said that the militants operating in the Golan Heights 'provide ongoing intelligence gathering to Israel, and also receive help from the latter in the form of weapons and military training.' The Nusra Front is a terrorist group and is responsible for horrible acts of terror against innocent civilians in Syria.
This comes amid media reports that Israel carried out last week's terror attack in Syria with the help of Takfiri terrorists, particularly the Nusra Front. The Jan 18 airstrike claimed the lives of six Hezbollah members, including 25-year-old Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of slain Hezbollah top commander Imad Mughniyeh and an Iranian commander.
Analysts believe the new Israeli assault is yet another attempt to change the balance of war in favor of the Takfiri militants fighting against Syria."

With Aleppo Encircled, West Seeks Wildcard to Save Its Terror Hordes
http://journal-neo.org/2015/01/23/with-aleppo-encircled-west-seeks-wildc...
"The Syrian Arab Army is reportedly close to completely encircling militants that have occupied the northern city of Aleppo since they invaded it from NATO territory in 2012. Once the encirclement is complete, analysts believe the city will be finally liberated, in a process similar to the retaking of Homs further south.
The desperation of militants facing the final phase in the Battle for Aleppo is indicated by their Western sponsors' attempts to broker a ceasefire and arrange 'aid' to reach them.
The Guardian, chief among the many propagandists distorting the conflict since it began in 2011, is now attempting to form a narrative extorting global security by claiming only by NATO establishing a no-fly zone over Aleppo and repelling Syrian government forces, can 'moderate rebels' hold on to the city and repel lingering 'Islamic State' (ISIS) forces..."

"In the light of the recent Paris attacks it's more important than ever to take a sober look and perhaps shine a light on the face that there are no real 'moderate rebels' in Syria, no more than there are in Iraq.
Essentially what we are looking at is a US-led effort to over-run the region with the ISIS and ISIS-related scourge, killing all stability and ability for Syria, Iraq and Iran to coordinate any meaningful military, economic or political enterprise..."
Israel didn't attack Syria. It was UFOs. That's what the "objective" UN official thinks.
