ISIL War in Iraq and Syria II

[Vanoi]

You men the ''rebels'' who were attacking Daraa city in a failed offensive? you mean these ''rebels''?

That offensive stopped more than a week ago. The SAA takes advantage of rebel-IS fighting just like the rebels do with the SAA.

the SAA is launching an offensive in Daraa?

The rebel offensive in Daara. It stopped a while ago.

As does SAA bombardments in Daraa.

[nhytgbvfeco2]

The same logic can be applied here. FSA attacked Daraa, and then were attacked by ISIS. GASP! Is ISIS helping the SAA?!?!
As FSA were taking Al-Bab from ISIS the SAA attacked ISIS aswell. GASP! Is the SAA helping the FSA?!?!

These argument lead nowhere. This is a war, and people take advantage of opportunities. When a side is attacked/is attacking, it means that their attention and resources are focused elsewhere, so the 3rd faction takes advantage.

Also the Daraa offensive wasn't a complete failure, they did manage to gain some ground and hold on to it.

That's a blatant lie there have been multiple reports in Daara that the rebels have been getting shelled or bomb this week. Nhty made a great point.

Lol you really think the regime isn't bombing and shelling Daraa?

[The Gurkhan]

The legitimate governments of Syria and Iraq are engaged in a life or death struggle against the sort of bandit scum no different to the baboon who killed people in London yesterday. This is fact.

Yeah, based on word of so-called "white-helmets" that is basically a PR group for jihadists.

What IS a reliable source then? Everyone is biased one way or another.

Yet another horrific war crime by US airplanes. Rudaw(which is pro-western bty) reports that 240 civilians were murdered by US airstrikes in Mosul. That happens a day after 30 civilians were killed in a school in Syria and another 50 killed in a mosque. Apparently Trump is on a murder spree. Just like Bush he should be prosecuted for these crimes(and the crimes that will follow)but instead he will have a happy retirement somewhere in America

Since there is a new offensive in North Hama by the Islamists, once again one of the last christian strongholds in the Near East is under siege and in danger of extermination (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahardah).

Its the same groups which wanted to destroy the town 3 years ago and in the last Hama offensive which failed. Here an older article which explaines teh circumstances and what will likely happend if the Islamists get their hands on teh town: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...tronghold.html

Do you honestly believe that they would do that? Even ISIS didn't slaughter christians when they took those christian villages in the qaraytayn area. Also one of the factions released a statement that they won't be taking it to avoid secterian violance. They will probablu just besiege it.

Hard to say, but using spoken word of organization that is actively siding with one of the factions about their opponent is naive, at best.

So do you ignore sources like RT, al-masdar, or any other source that supports the regime?

Both al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham have committed a massacre against non-Sunni civilians in the region, less than one year ago. I doubt that the town will fall, but I would definitely be worried, if it did, given the Salafist opposition's record concerning religious tolerance.

Here's one from today. Though, I am sure, you will ignore any source unless Assad himself admits that he does indeed bomb rebel positions in Daraa.
