That article doesn't say anything about America or the United States as in like those three words aren't even found in the article at all. Literally "United" "United States" "States" and "America" aren't anywhere in the article at all.
There was a blurb about Israel...

but there has been no independent confirmation of that....so again nothing.
What are you on about man? All I can tell is that Syria is fucked either way. Assad stays in power and he's got to re-establish his strength as a leader which means cracking down on everyone else. Assad gets ousted and we've got another murderhappy shithole with no ironfisted dictator...not a bunch of good ways for this to end.
I'd rather Assad stay in power, if he's an evil asshole, he's RUSSIA and CHINA's evil asshole.....we certainly don't need to stick our noses into yet another shitty Middle Eastern quagmire they can all get fucked for all I care. We needn't waste our young men and women's lives and health on any of those nations, let THEM fight it's their damned war.

I've read the attacks were targeting the Syrian Scientific Research Center at Latakia and airport in Hama and there was also activity in Tartus.

I read an article yesterday about the marines working with a known terrorist group. I gotta try to dig it up.

Ya I wish I could find the articles they hooked up with some locals to knock on isis door and I guess the locals are tied to a reported group of terrorists but since I can’t find it now I can’t say more. I’d be surprised if the Marines were letting that happen but if it’s coming from above a marine will follow orders
