    A year ago the admin. was describing this same money as stabilization funds, part of the anti-ISIS effort. The theory was that by aiding economic development, you help prevent ISIS’s return. If that theory no longer applies, maybe the White House could explain the new strategy.

    Assad militias went to the cemetery of the city of "Zamalka" and they use civilians form this city to exhumate the graves of the victims of the chemical massacre and move them to unknown destinations.

    Russia ramps up its campaign to rehabilitate and normalize the Assad regime. $ is secondary. Legitimacy is primary. Just say no to reconstruction. …
