Moderate Syrian Rebels, My Ass

Guess what, our pet rebels in Syria have made a non-aggression pact with ISIS:

Syrian rebels and jihadists from the Islamic State have agreed a non-aggression pact for the first time in a suburb of the capital Damascus, a monitoring group said on Friday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the ceasefire deal was agreed between IS and moderate and Islamist rebels in Hajar al-Aswad, south of the capital.

Under the deal, "the two parties will respect a truce until a final solution is found and they promise not to attack each other because they consider the principal enemy to be the Nussayri regime."

Nussayri is a pejorative term for the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs.

Obama's war just lost one of its cornerstones.

There is no credible moderate rebel force in Syria, and Obama's truly Kafkaesque suggestion that Syrians firing at planes bombing them would be considered a hostile act, he has, "Vowed to retaliate against President Bashar al-Assad if Syrian forces shot at American planes," won't solve that.

ISIS beheaded the journalists and that aid worker because they want to entangle the United States in yet another war in the hope of bleeding us dry, and Obama, and the "bomb everything" caucus, have proved remarkably accommodating to their plans.
