Obama/Clinton Syrian policy is
1. to supply all kids of weapons to "moderate opposition"= Al-Nusra;
2. never to bomb Al-Nusra (was admitted yesterday by spokesperson John Kirby) because they need it against Assad.
* The bottom line for the
Obama administration is regime change, which means a jihadist victory in Syria, and that is the rabbit they are constantly trying to pull out of the hat.

* one of the US demands was that the Syrian air force must be prohibited from attacking al-Nusra Front (al-Qaeda in Syria).
George W. Bush famously
said, "either you're with us, or you are with the terrorists."
But what happens when Washington itself is "with the terrorists"?

* September 17:
The CIA has been coordinating weapon deliveries on the Turkey-Syria border, German journalist Jurgen Todenhofer, who recently spoke with a Jabhat al-Nusra commander, said.
He added that the US knows that the weapons it delivers to rebels end up with terrorists.
In the interview the Jabhat al-Nusra unit commander Abu Al Ezz said that
US weapons are being delivered to the terrorist group by governments that Washington supports and American instructors have been providing instruction on how to use them.

* Lavrov’s Interview to BBC
The US is keeping jihadist group al-Nusra for a “Plan B”, potentially to overthrow Syrian President Assad, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the BBC.
Lavrov
said that
Washington has still not delivered on its promise to persuade US-backed rebels to separate from Jabhat al-Nusra jihadists.
Lavrov countered that it’s the militants
“controlled by al-Nusra” who jeopardize peace efforts.
The terrorists are “shielding themselves with other armed groups” in order not to be attacked, Lavrov noted, stressing that
Washington needs to do more to persuade moderate forces to dodge any cooperation with Jihadists.

* Daniel McAdams is Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity:
The concept of “moderate rebels” in Syria is a joke. If an armed group of people in USA tried to pull out a coup, would Washington recognize it as a “moderate”? Not likely. Washington has to admit: their “moderate rebels” and al-Qaeda are the same things.

The main result of Russia’s operation in Syria is that Islamic State and Al-Nusra Front terrorists have been kept out of Damascus, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
Russian airstrikes on radical Islamists in Syria over the past year have ensured that "
neither Islamic State, nor Al-Qaeda nor the Nusra Front are now sitting in Damascus," Peskov said in a conference call with reporters.
