    If the armed opposition listens to this man, then there will be no alternative but an gov't and campaign in Greater (NW )...the only way to stay free of Assad is for the rebels to help take out and ...that's it. Only it.

    I asked , and why the US and UN likely manipulated data on how many ISIS fighters are left in Iraq and Syria. Turns out, both have an eye to their budgets and continued ability to operate in the region.

    Seems like no good policy options for team in Greater that prevents mass displacement/bloodshed AND uproots and its fellow travelers and enablers. Even if Trump gets + rebel proxies to do it, not ,a lot of destruction will happen.

    This is Idlib, Syria's final rebel stronghold. People here say they have no escape from an apparently imminent government onslaught

    10 months after driving ISIS out, and causing apocalyptic destruction in Raqqa, State simply formally announcing what we saw on the ground months ago: US winding down, stabilisation never kicked in, regime return imminent. But there's a new US "special rep for Syrian engagement".

    Several women from Raqqa I spoke w/at opening of Women's Council said they had never held a role outside the home before. Why now? I asked. ISIS was the answer. "They put too much pressure on us... now we're here."
