AP sources: IS, al-Qaida reach accord in Syria

Militant leaders from the Islamic State group and al-Qaida gathered at a farm house in northern Syria last week and agreed on a plan to stop fighting each other and work together against their opponents, a high-level Syrian opposition official and a rebel commander have told The Associated Press.

Such an accord could present new difficulties for Washington's strategy against the IS group. While warplanes from a U.S.-led coalition strike militants from the air, the Obama administration has counted on arming "moderate" rebel factions to push them back on the ground. Those rebels, already considered relatively weak and disorganized, would face far stronger opposition if the two heavy-hitting militant groups now are working together.

Difficulty? Seems like we've just doubled the target rich nature of the environment to me. Just makes it more difficult to miss!

[teeman8r]

i wonder how much support we were giving them...

yikes.

[Praxeologue]

Assad is winning.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

So when does obama and his czar’s come to the realization that this will keep happening as the global caliphate takes place and it will not take the “many years” the obama fruitcakes are saying but a concerted effort on the part of many nations just like previous attempts at world domination?
Oh never mind...we are dealing with the TWO stupid parties.
Ours, unfortunately and thiers...

That’s ok, they will be killing each other again before the year’s end.

Doesn't this article admit that al-Qaida is the moderate Muslims Obama wants to arms? Similar to World War 2 history, Joe Stalin was a monster with his Nazi Red Pact and invasion of Poland. After Nazi invasion the US and UK government had to convinced everyone Stalin was Uncle Joe and could be trusted. US sent billions in aid to USSR that garnered Stalin Eastern Europe. Image if UBL was alive, would we call him Uncle Bin?

That farm house was a target rich environment. It is too bad a missile wasn't put through a window.

There needs to be a mother of all battles. And in the process we turn the place into a parking lot.

[Obadiah]

Wait, Obama told everyone that al quada was on the run. He said Osama was dead and GM was alive because of him. Oh, and if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance.

[lavaroise]

Indeed. i believe AlQaeda has always been chumy with Assad and Sadddam

[G Larry]

Their cooperation is not new.

Hope you weren’t looking for the moderates....

[shalom aleichem]

Well that settles it. Now we must redouble “our” effort to topple Assad.

What’s two times zero? Obie announced today that we’re going to give Assad a free hand. Watch Aleppo, if Assad takes it completely, the revolution will be a stalemate.

[SunkenCiv]

and the answer is...

Kurdistan

[shalom aleichem]

I am shocked that Obie would say that. (He HATES Assad). He is spinning like a top. Kerry is out of action performing victory cartwheels for having China agreeing to end CO2 emissions by 2030 if we end ours now. Reminds me of, “Let’s jump off the cliff. OK. You first.”
