It also is insulting and pretty revealing that you comment without having read anything in the OP. In fact, the stories, the links etc are about the fight against ISIS. While the Syrian civil war is, of course, related - it is not even the topic.

Not to mention, it sounds like you depend excessively on RT for your knowledge of what is happening. The implication that we want "to get control away from Russia" is pretty ironic. It makes Russia responsible for the brutal atrocities of Assad. You might actually want to read the links - if you did you would see that what is happening is a very serious, complicated effort to help bring that region to a better place.

In fact, Obama/Kerry has moved far from the neo con path - on this and on Iran. If you don't believe it go to any of the neo liberal think tanks and read their assessment of foreign policy in Obama's second term. To sum it in a few words "not Happy" works.
