"Okeydoke"
The expression of the war in Syria that it is anti-Assad otherwise there will be continued war and death is inaccurate. It's political rhetoric.

New York City — President Obama (click here) and the leaders of Iran and Russia are set Monday to lay out their visions for addressing the four-year-long civil war in Syria that has created a refugee crisis in Europe.
The leaders’ speeches will be among the first of the General Debate of the 70th United Nations General Assembly, which kicks off Monday. Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin are due to meet later, to discuss where they share common ground in the Syrian war.
Putin has recently poured weapons into Syria to support the embattled regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad in his struggle against the Islamic State and other rebel groups. Obama wants Assad out and has made a feeble attempt to support other rebels aligned against the Islamic State radicals.
“This is the beginning of a genuine effort to see if there is a way to de-conflict, but also to find a way forward that will be effective in keeping a united, secular Syria that can be at peace and stable again without foreign troops present, and that’s our hope,” Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday of the planned meeting....
The USA invaded Iraq wrongfully. It then took on this stupid idea of "If you broke, you bought it." That was completely political in the USA and killed innocent people in Iraq. During this time, the dialogue between Iran and the USA became more toxic. The diplomatic relationship was completely absent. The USA invaded Iraq wrongfully and never tried to develop diplomatic relationships to a neighboring country. It is unthinkable the USA simply escalated tensions with Iran while posing a threat to their sovereign authorities. Iran was trapped into a defensive and offensive posture. It had no choice. Iran was never given a choice until President Obama came into office.
The damage done to Iraq was complete. The people were divided from their government and once again Iraq was given a so called congress and collective assembly. What changed with Iraq? Absolutely nothing. Iraq went from Saddam to still yet another figure head that has absolutely no sovereign control, even today.
Here is a political expression for you to carry into the elections; "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
When Gulf War One occurred the Iraqi military fell within 24 hours. What else is different from Iraq today? Iraq had conventional weapons. Tanks, all sorts of conventional weapons. So, Iraq withdrew from Kuwait and it was over.
In Gulf War Two the very same thing happened. Since the USA moved into Baghdad it took about three or four days. What makes anyone think there is going to a peace in the Middle East?
There is no viable authority in Syria besides Bashir Assad. There isn't even a platoon of the Free Syrian Army. There is no one else that has power in Syria besides Assad. The American Neocons just need to shut up, they have killed enough innocent people in Syria already through stupid programs with weapons that had no basis in reality.
The USA needs to stop TRYING their political dogma as if it is really viable and listen instead to other countries and allies within the region to bring about security. NOT DEMOCRACY, but, security. The Assad government was ugly and it will be ugly in the future. Lebanon needs the attention of those seeking to stabilize the Middle East because Hezbollah is chronically attempting to overthrow the Lebanon government.
General Petraeus his ideas of harnessing al Qaeda groups to fight Assad. That is about as smart as the USA providing arms to Osama bin Laden when they opposed Russia. Every aspect of the war against Russia in the region caused more problems than it has ever solved. The USA's proxy wars have only POSTPONED the reality that Russia is a vital ally in the region, including Afghanistan. The USA does not need anymore of the Petraeus wet dream.

Militants have occupied (click here) some government buildings, including a prison, and heavy fighting is continuing.
One report said the Taliban had raised their flag in the city centre.
The government said at least 25 militants and two Afghan policemen had been killed and that reinforcements had been sent to the city.
Monday's attack appears to be one of the most significant mounted on a provincial capital by the Taliban, correspondents say.
Kunduz police spokesman Sayed Sarwar Husaini told the BBC's Mahfouz Zubaide that militants had captured the jail in Kunduz and freed about 500 prisoners, including members of the Taliban....
The USA has to end it's proxy wars and so does Russia. They have to work together to end the instability in the Middle East and the entire region for that matter. The truth is, Russia and Iran have far more on the line with all this instability that was spawned by the Iraq invasion and occupation.
If the tribes of Afghanistan want to war, it is none of our business and we need to bring the troops home, like yesterday.
There is a power sharing government in Afghanistan. Dr. Abdullah Abdullah has all the experience he needs to lead a military. The USA should be very grateful for that. There is absolutely not other leader the USA has instilled into power with a so called democratic vote that can actually be a commander and chief. Dr. Abdullah Abdullah can get the job done. That's all we need to know and the USA proxy war with Russia is over!

...Ghani and Abdullah (click here) are taking charge as most foreign troops are scheduled to withdraw by year’s end and the Taliban is resurging in many areas of the country. Afghanistan’s central government is also nearly broke and can barely pay the salaries of its federal and provincial employees....
In respect to President Ghani, he has proven to be a remarkable diplomat and is very worldly. I can honestly say President Ghani is a man of peace as is Dr. Abdullah Abdullah.
Let me add one more thing. This is reality.
Mullah Omar was dead two years before the news made it to the media. TWO YEARS. That means the entire face of the Afghan conflict is unknown to the American people.
There are wars that exist in the world that the USA does not participate in. Afghanistan is one of them. Bring the troops home. I am confident Russia has been involved in the entire region, but, the USA media wanted CONTROL of the 'war speak' to promote political dialogue.
We know for a fact Iran is always involved in this small focus wars because of Shi'ite minorities. That is nothing new. It is up to the Arab nations/Arab League to find a peace with Iran. The sooner there is a peace between the Shia and Sunnis the sooner there will be an end to aggressions. Iran's leadership is still mired in the Iranian Revolution and that needs to change. I think everyone understands the removal of the Shah and consents to it. Iran has to be recognized as the power it is and peace talks need to result that will quite the entire Shia Crescent.
ENOUGH. Bring the USA troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq. John McCain should be playing at the southern border to end drug cartels. That would actually be productive for him. He is from Arizona, right?
