Not really. I knew this would happen, you can't expect to summon criminals from all over the world, and think that they can be controlled. Impossible

Yes bro mowaten, this is happy news indeed. But this has been going on for quite a long time, but not on such a high scale, i think thats why Naharnet mentions it now.

Things are going down for the opposition. This is not good for the Geneva talks aswell, they still can't unite their warring factions on the ground.

Mowaten. ISIL was imported to Syria by Assad to justify its evil existence. The proof, Assad barely bombs them and focuses on Syria loving FSA.

All the m8 cheerleaders are hypocrites, especially the Shia among you. You cry for the death of Imam Hussein and you betray every principle he stood for by supporting a criminal who is a bigger monster than Yazeed.

lol lf, i heard that theory all over the forums from takfiri-supporters.
isis is disgusting, so to keep our names clean we're going to say it's from assad. pathetic, baseless, and reason-defying. they live to butcher alawites and slaughter the syrian army, but somehow you brainless stooges think assad and the regime are behind them. with allies like this assad wouldnt need enemies, would he?

@Phill it is called Syrian Arab Army, which is the official national army just as the LAF. We don't call our army Sulaimans army now do we?

As a general rule you are right The Syrian army should be called SAA. However in light of the huge defection rate, the SAA has been dubbed Bachar's army since the remaining force is virtually Alawite and Shabbiha thus Bachar's army

coolmec, Mystic knows exactly why we are calling it "Bashar's Army". He is faking blindness because he is a Hezbi.

No the FSA should get rid of the extremists, then get rid of Assad. Then, the new army should absorb the moderate FSA elements and get rid of Nusra Front and any other Islamist organization.

(1). I am absolutely sure that Syrians can overcome their differences and finally chose sense over blindness, and sit at the same table and discuss an end to their war, a war that made NO sense whatsoever from the beginning. The foreigner has simply seen a void to use, exploit and embody their utterly sick mentality of death by fighting, killing and dying for a cause none of theirs in Syria. What did the Syrians get in return? Massive destruction? Massive killings? Massive abuse by both regime and rebels? Massive population exodus? Syria by its war has given a new dimension to the word Horror. I know many Syrians who today will want nothing more than to have their life back. There was a time when Syria was developing, in fact Syria has almost nothing called a debt. Syrians came and went almost anywhere they pleased.

Perfectly said Phoenix1, this is one of those times I agree full heartedly with your comment. Syrians were a very proud people, and rightly so, they had many good things going for their country. Sadly some of them took the bait giving to them by the west and arab monarchs to revolt against the government. In hindsight, one has to wonder whether the Americans and others knew that it was a for gone conclusion that the Russians and Iranians would never end support for the Syrian people. The end result was the same though, the enemies of Syria still managed to destroy Syria, set it back decades and created countless number of Syrian refugees. Was all this a hint by the controllers of the IMF that if you don't borrow from us and in slave your people to us, we will still find a way to make you come begging to us? I guess Lebanon will have company next door when it comes to carrying a massive debt for years and years.

(2). They had security, safety and a tomorrow that was all theirs to use. They had services 24/7 everything a normal citizen wished for, tell us about that in Lebanon, lol. True, very true indeed, they had a brutal dictatorship, but one that was not blinded by sectarian hatred. Today, the regime knows well that it has made many mistakes, and that it cannot win a war by use of force alone. The same can be said of the rebel groups. Now the wisdom for every single Syrian is a relatively simple choice, sit and talk to each other, or face a prolonged war in which no clear winner will come out atop the rest.

(3). Bachar's regime even if it wishes to continue ruling must accept that it no longer can perpetuate values of old, especially Bachar. He must accept that even if he was allowed to rule, he would only do so as a transitional leader and not more. His Aalawite sect will understand too, that its best chances is power sharing and not absolute rule. The rebels must also understand that they cannot eliminate anyone, that the new realities of a new Syria rests on power sharing, the Aalawite sect has shown its resilience to fight. Then what was Syria's main power one may ask? Its main power was its diversity of sects, cultures, and the tolerance that existed between them all. Once Syrians renew that, then one could safely assume that Syria will be on its way to peace. Now is the time, before foreigners take more hold of their land and destiny.

the syrian arab army, da3esh, and hezbollah are three ugly manifestations of extremism.
