SouthFront — US Tries To Protect Jabhat Al-Nusra From Strikes In Syria

You knew this was going to happen. The US cannot overthrow Assad without using terrorists as proxies. 

The strategy is overthrow Assad and then separate the sheep from the goats afterwards. Good luck with that. Russia is not buying. Nor is Iran, Hezbollah or China. 

Of course, the US media will blame Putin and Assad for the failure of the cessation of hostilities, which Obama has said is the last opportunity for cooperation. Doubtless, America's partners are not going to cooperate further when the Great White Father keeps speaking with a forked tongue.

nsnbc international — GCC Designates Hezbollah as Terrorists – Deploys Al-Nusrah Against them in Lebanon

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) designated the Lebanese Hezbollah as terrorist organization. Meanwhile, several GCC member States, most prominently Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as Israel use [Al Qaeda affiliate] Jabhat Al-Nusrah  to weaken Hezbollah in Lebanon.…

Hezbollah is a lawfully registered political party in Lebanon that maintains a militia that is lawful according to Lebanese law. Hezbollah is operating in parts of the Syrian Arab Republic with the permission of the Syrian government. It coordinates its military operations in the Syrian Arab Republic with the lawful government, with the Syrian Arab Army and with the Syrian National Self Defense Forces. It does so, arguably, not because Hezbollah or Iran necessarily endorse a secular government in Syria, but because Syria constitutes an important strategic ally for Hezbollah and for Iran.

…Hezbollah is being threatened by the Qatari and Saudi Arabia sponsored Syrian Al-Qaeda franchise Jabhat Al-Nusrah, which has been declared as a terrorist organization by the UN Security Council. Jabhat Al Nusrah is also being supported by Israel, which facilitates Jabhat Al-Nusrah’s access to the Lebanese Bekaa Valley via the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights...

Got that? "Our" state sponsored "terrorists" fighting "their" state sponsored "terrorists."
