But it seems like the Free Syrian Army is toast at this point. I sense that we'll let Assad do the dirty work. Not an expert in any way but thought an analysis was interesting -- give the Iraqi Kurds their state, not sure about the Turkish ones.. leave Isis where they are more or less for a Sunny state in Iraq, Shiites in Baghdad.. something like Biden proposed.

They know a lot that they're not telling us..
