This is yet more proof that the Intentions of Turkey and Saudi Arabia (and their allies) is NOT to "fight ISIS" but rather to assist rebels to overthrow the lawfully elected President (Assad) of Syria. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Turkey have been working WITH "ISIS" and rebels to destroy Syria and overthrow its government.

MORE FIGHTING As Saudis and Turks Attack Syria
Recently Exxon Mobil and Qatar Petroleum International have made a $10 Billion deal that allows Exxon Mobil to sell natural gas through a port in Texas to the UK and Mediterranean markets. Qatar stands to make a lot of money and the only thing standing in the way of their aspirations is Syria.
This is to set the stage for US involvement in the Natural Gas market in Europe while smashing the monopoly that the Russians have enjoyed for so long. What appears to be a conflict with Syria is really a conflict between the U.S. and Russia.
The main cities of turmoil and conflict in Syria right now are Damascus, Homs, and Aleppo. These are the same cities that the proposed gas pipelines happen to run through. Qatar is the biggest financier of the Syrian uprising, having spent over $3 billion so far on the conflict. The other side of the story is Saudi Arabia, which finances anti-Assad groups in Syria. The Saudis do not want to be marginalized by Qatar; thus they too want to topple Assad and implant their own puppet government, one that would sign off on a pipeline deal and charge Qatar for running their pipes through to Nabucco.

Syria’s Gas Pipeline War: “Operation Gas Pains”
UPDATE 3:47 AM Eastern US Time -- Saudi Arabia confirms its jets have arrived at Incirlik airbase, Turkey. Also says they will be meeting soon to "finalize details" of ground operations.
Looks like they are done waiting, the question now is will Russia and Iran let them do that which they have been planning or not.
And will the US back them when push comes to shove.

UPDATE 3:56 AM Eastern US Time -- Retired US Air Force General Clyde Simmons has told SuperStation95 "I couldn't imagine how Turkish and Saudi pilots would feel about flying into a nation whose entire airspace is defended with Russian S-400 missiles. Do they know the range of these things can hit Saudi and Turkish aircraft from INSIDE Turkey and Saudi Arabia right now if the order was given?
Either this threat of a ground invasion is completely empty or the US is going in too, with stealth aircraft on orders to take out every single Russian S-400 prior to Turkish and Saudi troops moving in.
Any other plan to invade Syria is a complete suicide mission."
UPDATE 4:30 AM Eastern US Time -- Phone call between Putin and Obama to discuss the situation in Syria
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a VERY bad thing. When the President of one country calls the President of the United States at 4:30 in the morning over military activities (anywhere) it is very urgent and very serious. NO ONE does that sort of thing over nonsense; it is always a major, serious event if it warrants rousting one President out of bed in the middle of the night. In political circles, it simply is not done ---- unless war is at stake. THis phone call seems to be a harbinger of very dangerous things to come.

...erm Assad came to power in July 2000 in an election where he was the only candidate. Yes, there were multi party elections in 2014 but this was 3 years into the Syrian civil war and voting did not take place in rebel or Kurd held areas.
Assad has repeatedly used barrel bombs and chemical weapons in civilian populated areas. These are war crimes.
In short; the man is a monster. His ability to win fixed elections should not stop us from wishing to see him deposed, up in front of the ICC or indeed just hanging from a nearby lamp post.
But unfortunately, none of those are likely to happen any time soon, and to address the broader points in the thread: Russia are determined to keep Assad in power and those countries against the regime aren't willing to seriously commit themselves to a conflict in an attempt to remove him.
Yes Syria is a travesty and a humanitarian disaster but we're currently a long way from talk about World War 3 being anything other than hyperbole.
True but Syria is secular place and that in and of itself is important imo.
Looking at this picture, the west has more in common with Syria than it does with say Saudi. You wont find women in bikinis bathing with men in Saudi.
The "rebels" want to replace these freedoms with a hardline islamic ruleset. Saudi and Qatar are funding them and ISIS for that reason and also because getting rid of Assad will allow them to build a natural gas pipeline through Syria.
Once Russia got involved (it doesnt want competition in the europe gas market ) This plan went pear shaped.
Quatar wants a gas pipeline to Europe – through Syria. The Turks want the Quatar pipeline to Europe – through Turkey and Syria. Assad has blocked this pipeline. So now the Turks and Quatar both support the imported al Qaeda fighters who are trying to overthrow Assad. (Who have since morphed into ISIS)
The reason things are on a knife edge this week is they have seemingly decided to take a direct hand rather than fund proxies.
IE: they are going to send their own ground troops in.
Source: The Independent
Saudi Arabia is sending troops and fighter jets to Turkey’s Incirlik military base ahead of a possible ground invasion of Syria.
The Turkish foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, confirmed the deployment in a statement to the Yeni Şafak newspaper on Saturday, days before a temporary ceasefire is due to come into force.
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said on February 9 that a potential troop deployment by regional countries to Syria would be a “very dangerous” decision.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have also expressed readiness to send soldiers to Syria
Russian Prime Minister Dimitry Medvedev said,
“all parties should sit down at the negotiating table instead of causing an outbreak of a new world war”, rumbling the drum of war in Syria. The Russian warning came after the confirmation of a spokesman for the Saudi Defense minister Ahmad Asiri “the Saudi Kingdom has announced the establishment of the new Islamist alliance to fight terrorism and is ready to carry out air and ground operations within the international coalition led by the United States in Syria.”
The aim of the [Saudi] Arab forces is to divide Syria is two parts: “Gharbistan” (western) and “Sharqistan”(Eastern) similar to what happened in Berlin after World War II.
In the first part, the Syrian army will continue fighting al-Qaeda and its allies with the support of Russia.
While in the second part, the [Saudi] Arabs would establish their forces to impose a political change and could destabilise the regime. In the meantime, the regime forces are at 60km from Raqqa, while, Turkey is at 180 km from ISIS main city. Therefore, if the idea to defeat ISIS is genuine, the U.S led coalition doesn’t need to intervene and walk all this distance from Turkey or Jordan to Raqqa. However, The race to Raqqa is declared, with the possibility or without the possibility of an [Saudi] Arab-Turkish intervention.
World War 3 Could Start This Month: 350,000 Soldiers In Saudi Arabia Stand Ready To Invade Syria - Freedom Outpost!
The goal would be to take out the Assad regime before Russia, Iran and Hezbollah could react. For the past couple of years, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their allies have been funding the Sunni insurgency in Syria, and they were counting on those insurgents to be able to take down the Assad regime by themselves.
You see, the truth is that ISIS was never supposed to lose in Syria. Saudi Arabia and her allies have been funneling massive amounts of money to ISIS, and hundreds of millions of dollars of ISIS oil has been shipped into Turkey where it is sold to the rest of the world.
The major Sunni nations wanted ISIS and the other Sunni insurgent groups to take down Assad. In the aftermath, Saudi Arabia and her allies intended to transform Syria into a full-blown Sunni nation.
But then Russia, Iran and Hezbollah stepped forward to assist the Assad regime. Russian air support completely turned the tide of the war, and now the Sunni insurgents are on the brink of losing.
Aleppo was once the largest city in Syria, and Sunni insurgents have controlled it since 2012. But now relentless Russian airstrikes have made it possible for Syrian, Iranian and Hezbollah ground forces to surround the city, and it is about to fall back into the hands of the Syrian government.
If this happens, the war will essentially be over.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their allies have invested massive amounts of time, money and effort into overthrowing Assad, and they aren’t about to walk away now.

And whilst its true Assads family have been dictators for a long time, Dictatorships in that area seem to be the most stable political model. Iraq and Libya are classic examples of what happens when you topple them.
Assad is definately the lessor of evils in this example, women can wear shorts and a T shirt in public. Freedom of religion exists
The Constitution of the Syrian Arab Republic that was passed in 2012 guaranteed religious freedom in Article 3 and Article 33. Article 3 stipulates:
“ The State shall respect all religions, and ensure the freedom to perform all the rituals that do not prejudice public order; The personal status of religious communities shall be protected and respected. ”
Compare that to Saudi
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an Islamic theocratic monarchy in which Sunni Islam is the official state religion based on firm Sharia law and non-Muslims are not allowed to hold Saudi citizenship.[1] Children born to Muslim fathers are by law deemed Muslim, and conversion from Islam to another religion is considered apostasy and punishable by death. Blasphemy against Sunni Islam is also punishable by death, but the more common penalty is a long prison sentence. There have been no confirmed reports of executions for either apostasy or blasphemy in recent years.[2]
A Saudi court sentenced a Palestinian man, Ashraf Fayadh to death for apostasy on November 17, 2015, for alleged blasphemous statements during a discussion group and in a book of his poetry. [3]
Religious freedom is virtually non-existent.[4] The Government does not provide legal recognition or protection for freedom of religion, and it is severely restricted in practice.
Syrian social values are far more closely aligned with western ones, and yet we are backing a Saudi/Sunni driven takeover, that would replace western style freedoms with strict Sharia based ones ????????.
Why is the west happy to see a secular govt that enshrines freedoms we ourselves cherish replaced with a hardline Islamic one that will strip those freedoms as the first order of business ?
Follow the money......... or in this case the proposed pipeline

History
In the 20th century a movement for women's rights developed in Syria, made up largely of upper-class, educated women.[5]
In 1928 Lebanese-Syrian feminist Nazira Zain al-Din, one of the first people to critically reinterpret the Koran from a feminist perspective, published a book condemning the practice of veiling or hijab, arguing that Islam requires women to be treated equally with men.[6]
In 1963 the Ba'th Party took power in Syria, and pledged full equality between women and men as well as full workforce participation for women.[7]
In 1967 Syrian women formed a quasi-governmental organization called the General Union of Syrian Women (GUSW), a coalition of women's welfare societies, educational associations, and voluntary councils intended to achieve equal opportunity for women in Syria.[7]
In 1989 the Syrian government passed a law requiring factories and public institutions to provide on-site childcare.[7]
In 1949, women in Syria were first allowed to vote and received universal suffrage in 1953.[8] In the 1950s, Thuraya Al-Hafez ran for Parliament, but was not elected. By 1971, women held four out of the 173 seats.[9]
The nation of Syria considers itself a republic. Therefore, its government consists of an executive, legislative, and judicial branch of government. The current president of Syria is a male by the name of Bashar al-Assad. There are also two vice presidents (including female vice president Najah al-Attar since 2006), a prime minister and a cabinet. As of 2012, in the national parliament men held 88% of the seats while women held 12%.[4]
This will be replaced with this if Saudi has its way
Violence Against women in Takfiri-Held Areas
It seems that the takfiri culture develops the violence against women as part of its indigenous nature. Downgrading the women to an object or a product for consumption, the takfiri ideology brutally violates their humanity esteem.
It makes them feel as if they never know who they are. To put it another way, according to takfiri ideology the women should never know who they are. Actually, what they are, instead of who they are, is the most significant question which helps figure out their identity in the eyes of takfiri ideology.
An example is the Syrian women who perhaps have experienced one of the toughest moments of their life under a culture of discrimination and violence against the women and girls after ISIS gained control of a set of areas of the Syrian territory.
The Syrian female refugees, who are struggling to pass to the European countries through the Turkish soil, have put up with all the risks of sailing through the highly dangerous Mediterranean Sea. Furthermore they have been made victims of many harms and abuses including the forced marriage.

Remember to keep an eye on Europe people.
This here is not my work, I saw it posted in a thread on a Chan board I watch (never post only watch, like I have said before I collect information from as many places as I can even if I do not outright agree with what they say )... I found it interesting.... You draw your own conclusions.

Mike, you've probably travelled in the Middle East and North Africa more than I have, but in my limited experience I find your bikini test not to be particularly valid.
Deeply religious countries like Morocco, Tunisia, Bahrain, Dubai, Egypt will, or used to have, areas where western tourists and, occasionally, the countries well-to-do middle class will be able to indulge in behaviour which they simply couldn't do in the vast majority of the country. One of my fondest memories of my travels in the past is sitting on a flat roof riad in Marrakesh, drinking a gin and tonic in the evening sun as the call to prayer echoed out from the numerous mosques around me, huge crowds swarming towards them. A sign of secularism? A sign of a deeply religious country? As always the truth is more complicated than some would like to make out.
As for Syria itself it's strange to describe the pre-civil war state as secular: one has to remember that Assad and his cronies are Allawites, a sect of Shia Islam. This piece from Richard Spencer describes something closer to a more nuanced truth.
The situation in Syria is highly complex, if you have a simple explanation for what is happening there it's likely to be wrong.
That shouldn't be too hard as some of us actually live in Europe. As for the post you quote; it's rambling, racist nonsense.
Ah the racism card.
The KKK isnt a race it isnt racist to be oposed to its ideology
Islam isnt a race it isnt racist to be opposed to its ideology.
But this guys sums it up nicely when he says
Not all muslims are islamists, but all islamists are muslim. So one can see how those with a peripheral view of this issue get confused.
The people didn’t see Syria as perfect before the civil war, but it was a secular, tolerant state, which will be lost if Islamist rebels prevail, European MP Nick Griffin, who in Damascus with a fact-finding delegation, told RT.
‘Syrians want to go on living in secular, tolerant state’
Keep in mind a lot of what we are hearing in the west is propaganda, humaitarian crocodile tears. The good guys vs bad guys narrative is just smoke and mirrors. The driving factor here isnt whats right its whats profitable.
And frankly what right do we have to say Assad must go. Imagine if a ME country were to say to America, You have too many black people being shot by the police, its ethnic cleansing, and your president must go by force if necessary.
The Neoconservatives Are Brewing A Wider War In Syria -- Paul Craig Roberts - PaulCraigRoberts.org
From the link above again making the same point
While you are enjoying your Sunday, the insane neoconservatives who control Western foreign policy and their Turkish and Saudi Arabian vassals might be preparing the end of the world.
Any person who relies on Western media has no accurate idea of what is happening in Syria.
I will provide a brief summary and then send you to two detailed accounts.
The neoconservative Obama regime set-up the Syrian government headed by Assad for overthrow. A long propaganda campaign conducted in Washington’s behalf by the Western media portrayed the democratically-elected Assad as a “brutal dictator who uses chemical weapons against his own people.” Washington organized and supported a front group posing as democrats and involved them in conflict with the Syrian military.
With conflict underway, Washington began predicting that something had to be done to overthrow Assad before he used “chemical weapons against his own people.” Obama turned these predictions into a “red line.” When Assad used chemical weapons against Washington’s puppets, the US would invade Syria.
With the “red line” drawn, a false flag chemical weapons attack was staged, or an accident occurred, that Washington used to say that Assad, despite the US warning, had crossed the “red line.”
Preparations for an invasion began, but hit two roadblocks. David Cameron, Washington’s puppet prime minister of Great Britain was unable to deliver British support for the invasion as the Parliament voted it down. This left Washington uncovered and vulnerable to the charge of naked aggression, a war crime.
Russian diplomacy threw up the other road block by securing the removal of all chemical weapons from Syria.
Their invasion plan frustrated, the neoconservatives sent the jihadists they had used to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya to overthrow Assad. Initially known as ISIS, then ISIL, then the Islamist State, and now Daesh, a term that can be interpreted as an insult. Perhaps the intention of the name changes is to keep the Western public thoroughly confused about who is who and what is what.
Washington now pretends that it is fighting the Islamist State, but Washington is doing its best to frustrate the success of the Russian/Syrian alliance that is defeating the Islamist State..
Washington’s support of the Islamist State is the cause of the war in Syria. General Michael Flynn, the recently retired head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has stated publicly that it was a “willful decision” of the Obama regime to support ISIS.
Also Google Saudi gas attacks in syria
A report by Yahya Ababneh, which was contributed to by Dale Gavlak, has collected the testimonies of witnesses who say that “certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the gas attack.”
The Mint Press News report adds an important dimension to the story, totally contradicting the claims of the US government. It quotes a female insurgent fighter who says things that make a link to Saudi Arabia clear. She says that those who provided them with weapons “didn’t tell them what these arms were or how to use them” and that they “didn’t know they were chemical weapons.” “When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them,” she is quoted.
There is also another Saudi link in the report: “Abdel-Moneim said his son and 12 other rebels were killed inside a tunnel used to store weapons provided by a Saudi militant, known as Abu Ayesha, who was leading a fighting battalion. The father described the weapons as having a ‘tube-like structure’ while others were like a ‘huge gas bottle.’”

All that aside its one of the worst geopolitical messes ive seen in a long time
Qatar are funding islamists to take over Syria so they can build a pipeline
Saudi are funding another group of Islamists to give them the power there. they will allow the pipeline, but will want a cut of the action. They are opposed to Qatar gaining control and building a pipeline with no cut of the money going to them
The US have a 10 billion deal to sell LNG via Qatar but thats peanuts, for them the real payoff is guzumping russias gas sales to europe thus weakening them economically.
Turkey has its own reasons including its issues with the Kurds
Iran has a finger in the pie to
As does russia
And of course the hard core Islamists aka ISIL want to start the ball rolling on the global caliphate as stated in their manifesto.
With so many players, it is indeed a powder keg waiting for a spark
This can go badly wrong in multiple ways
