1. too many players & agendas in that rat nest yes indeed

Careful, Brother Trump.

Do not let battlefield circumstances act to directly pull us into that evil sewer.

We walk too fine a line already with our efforts over there.
2. US finally protecting the Kurds, the only force for good

3. WHAT A MESS!! THIS IS NTO GOING TO END WELL

4. distinction between "pro-govt forces" vs. "govt forces" ??
Rafi ,   US   (02.08.18)
this seems very murky. What exactly are "pro-govt forces"?

Since when do militias, guerrillas, or rebel forces have "tanks and artillery" that attack "in formation"?

Does the Assad regime still have coherent armored formations that are not protecting Damascus, other large cities - and can be deployed that far to the east?

The only other candidate in the region for such a description would be... Erdogan's TURKEY

Wonder what the real story is here... ?
5. EXCELLENT !!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.08.18)
6. Would have been impossible under Obama...
JVC ,   LA, USA   (02.10.18)
With Samantha Powers and Susan Rice running the show, the number one priority was trying to get convictions on white, male, US military members who shot back. That's all over now.
