Petraeus, Terrorist Almost Kiss

Gen. David Petraeus and the terrorist Abu Mohammad al-Jolani trade everyday pleasantries as they discuss torture. It’s business as usual in Syria.

What’s Happening In Syria?

Was the overnight ouster of Syrian President Basher al-Assad in Syria the consequences of Al-Qaida or simply the latest CIA regime change? The picture is complicated, to say the least. Some of the carnage can be linked to the United States and particularly, the meddling Presidency of Barack Obama. But there are also a wide swath of regional players throughout the Middle East who had various reasons to see al-Assad gone.

Here, Steve Turley tries to make sense of the changes, and sums up the drive toward a new theosophy — a government driven by radical Islam, much like Afghanistan. Syria is now under the command of Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, who led one of the largest of the rebel groups  — the  al-Nusfra Front, a branch of al-Qaeda.

Israeli tanks crossed over from the Golan Heights at nightfall, streaming toward Damascus. As the tanks continued toward the capital, Israeli jets bombed strategic ports and arsenals across Syria. It may take many weeks, if not months, for the fighting to subside.
