The Trump administration has made clear that its top priority in the Middle East is to thwart Iran’s nuclear and regional ambitions. So why is it so reluctant to lift a finger against Tehran’s most audacious gambit in Syria? That gambit is the reconquest, by Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and his Iranian and Russian allies, of Idlib Province, the last major rebel holdout in western Syria and home to about three million people. A humanitarian catastrophe is expected to follow, entailing mass casualties and another tidal wave of refugees.

At least we can be sure what the CIA wants.

Send the damned “refugees” to Saudi Arabia so their chickens come home to roost.
As usual, the simple minds of the Toilet Paper of record (as Gerald Celente correctly puts it) vastly oversimplifies the situation over there.
Moving the wrong way or too fast could easily spark widespread conflict. Or worse.
This President originally thought we should exit Syria. He should stick to his original instincts.
Idlib will be part of a new nation that is Sunni and Kurd and east of the euphrates.
It will not be syria

The Sunni Islamists and their Turkish partners-in-crime have been busy ethnically cleansing the Kurds from the areas where they (Turks/Islamist) have gained control.

Give us everything we want and you’ll get everything you want.
Sounds logical.
Someday somebody in the know will wright a book or make a movie about WTF happened to get so fouled up! Long after Obama is dead and gone I’m sure...
Having just spent a few years in the UAE doing aerospace stuff, I don’t see any GCC guys doing anything as they could not handle the malcontents in their midst. Just saying...
Assad has rid the rest of Syria of neck cutters. They are now concentrated in Idlib Province.
Given respite, they would resume their neck cutting. There are many in the CIA and State Dept who would be okay with that.
Only Obama’s State Department and CIA could so screw things up that Assad becomes the good guy, protector of Middle East Christianity.
Let Idlib fall. Sooner the better.
There were a lot of reasons to go after Assad but they have so messed it up that they have essentially killed half a million Syrians for nothing. And wiped out ancient Christian towns all over Syria and Iraq. Good job.
Seems to me Israel has a handle on the Iran in Syria issue...
Personally, I think that is all we needed to do, support Israel!
