I hope they obliterate al nusra and the other moderate jihadists

Why do you always miss the most salient point? The US hasn't been asked by the legitimate Syrian government for help in fighting the terrorists that are invading Syria. Russia has!

Remind me again what happened to the opposition who stood up against that 'legitimate' government during the last election.

They stood up in an unfashionable time, as if Assad wasn't wary at that point from Libya and Egypt.

He took the legitimate stand of protecting his country, regardless if it was mostly protecting himself.
 
The country is so broken and without any real leadership/government, it would be folly to even suggest that Assad can legitimately claim Presidency and then even go on to request Russian intervention. He should have stepped down years ago.

The point malevolence makes is moot.
 
Pointing out the obvious here, it doesn't matter who we're allies with, it would be the same either way. It simply happens to be Saudi because of the mutual relations built predominantly on oil trade.

So what?

No such thing as peaceful in the Middle East, its no different to the Saudis killing their opponents as "terrorists".

Aren't we allies with one of these?

Oh dear.

That has diddly squat to do with anything I posted. The protests were overseen and were peaceful to begin with. After the government started murdering civilians they turned less so.
 
I see the Islamic State have been found to have a network in Germany:

All five men held are suspected of recruiting jihadists for IS and providing help for their journey to the conflict zone. They deny any link to terrorism.

The mosque in Hildesheim at the centre of Tuesday's police raids has been highlighted by authorities before as heavily involved in radical Salafist Islam.

Abu Walaa, who was arrested just outside Hildesheim, became known as "the preacher without a face" because of a series of internet videos in which he appeared clothed in black with his back to the camera.

Prosecutors said it was his task to sanction and organise jihad, and his network was clearly behind the departure of one young man and his family to Syria.

The others arrested included a 50-year-old Turk, a man of 36 with German and Serb nationality and two men in their twenties from Germany and Cameroon.

Last week, police in Berlin arrested a Syrian man on suspicion of receiving instructions from IS to carry out an attack in Germany.
