I'm surprised this thread has been so quiet.

I just meant that I'm surprised this thread has seen some activity in the past, but has been so quiet this past week as the conflict seems to be escalating so much.

Why does it show Kurds in Syria but not Turkey or Iraq?

I suppose that complicates intervention a bit... Roll Eyes

Why would Syria want Turkey in the war? Color me skeptical.

Rebel caught on video eating heart of dead soldier: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22523804 (not a link to the actual video)

Surprised nobody posted it... not.

Qusair finally fell to government forces after two weeks of fighting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22778310

Bad news for the rebels. Without foreign intervention, it's looking like they will lose.

I wonder how far Obama will go with this.

Arming Sunni Islamists to beat Russia in a proxy war? Why does that sound familiar...

I think they're probably smart enough to not strike first, at least. Perhaps they're just trying to deter Israel from getting more involved in the conflict?

This thread has fallen all the way to page 3. It's essentially all the same conflict but this still seems most appropriate in this thread for now-

ISIS takes Assad's last base in Raqqa: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28918792

The Division 17 base was taken in July.

In other news, non-ISIS rebels fearing fall of Aleppo (to Assad) is coming soon: http://online.wsj.com/articles/syrian-forces-advance-on-aleppo-rebels-fear-another-siege-1407860811

A little surprised this isn't a bigger story...
