For Madeleine Albright, killing at least 500,000 children is a good thing.

If the hardliners want to fight it might be better to deal with them on the battlefield as they would just be insurgents and terrorists after the peace anyway. Better to kill them now and be done with them.

Jim W. Dean - The Syria opposition HNC-Saudi group continues to insist on its initial precondition to the peace talks that Assad must surrender and step down before anything starts, despite the Geneva agreement stating there would be no preconditions.

Jim W. Dean - The Saudi HNC opposition geniuses have now let us know their response to the Syrian Parliamentary elections is to end the ceasefire by calling for attacks on the Syrian allied forces in Aleppo.

Jim W. Dean - In all of my writing and interviews, I have stated that the Western coalition's only motivation in the peace talks was to try win through them what they have not been able to on the battlefield, the Balkanization of Syria.

In recent days, Aleppo and its suburbs have witnessed repeated violation of ceasefire by armed terrorist groups, the most important of which include the massive invasion of Tel el-Ais by Jaish al-Fatah, Ahrar al-Sham, Faylaq Al-Sham, Jaysh al-Hur and Jabhat al-Nusra.

Jim W. Dean - Iran's anti-terrorism efforts in Syria are being officially credited by de Mistura, which is something the US cannot take away.

You could maybe think of it like a genie, whose existence depends on whether someone is willing to rub the bottle

Jim W. Dean - Kerry's making this statement while in Bahrain is even more significant, as it comes on the heels of NATO Secretary Stoltenberg announcing that meeting agenda talks were in progress with Moscow.

Despite all the media manipulation, the masses were not really convinced by the Panama Papers.

From historic experience we can be sure that the consequence of this weaponizing of Takfiris will be not only be the death of "brown people" in the Middle East, but also attacks on "western" people and interests.

Following the Quartet meeting of foreign ministers of Qatar, Saudi, Turkey and the US on the sidelines of Munich Security meeting, despite serious Saudi and Turkish determination to send troops to Syria, John Kerry is skeptical about the success of this action.

Colin Flaherty, like Neocon puppet Ann Coulter and Looney Tunes showman Alex Jones, can never be a real cop because he always fails to talk about the real people who are actually playing with the political remote control.

Jim W. Dean - Kerry is "making nice" now with Russia...sort of. These magnanimous statements are really the US playing catch up, as the rest of the world is already well aware of what Russia and Putin have done to fight terrorism.

Just as the Pentagon ranked Russia as its No.1 threat, Secretary of State John Kerry lauded Moscow’s “constructive role” in major diplomatic breakthroughs such...

Carter wants global domination on a daily basis and at the expense of everyone else, including decent Americans who are doing their best make ends meet.

Former Saudi Crown Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz criticized Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs sabotage in political dialogues between the Syrian government and his dissidents.

Jim W. Dean - Erdogan finally responds to Obama's moves to distance the US from Erdogan's crackdown on Turkish opposition media. Incredibly he is just denying it, a bad move on his part.

Jim W. Dean - The Russians were right all along — that the Western game of “good terrorists and bad” was a fool’s game, for which their citizens will pay a heavy price and yet deny any responsibility.

“As is customary, the military thanked the parents for having brought such a son...”

Jim W. Dean - In Palmyra this week, the 25-year-old Russian Special Forces forward observer did not call an airstrike in on himself and the jihadis who were about to capture him in order to swing an election. He was fighting terrorists with his last breath.

"Today, the war against Erdogan and against Saudi Arabia is a war against terrorists. The Turkish army, which is not even Turkish, is Erdogan's army that is fighting today in Syria," Assad.

Jim W. Dean - Assad counterattacks by charging bad faith on those still demanding he step down, when the Geneva mandate was for all opposition parties to be involved, which certainly included him, and he gently reminds us that the Syrian-Russian military progress is "helping" the political process.

Jim W. Dean - I should have expected Gordon might make the analogy of the Marine and Navy pilots fighting the good fight of the Cactus Air Force at Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, like the Russians have done from their small airfield in Syria.

Vladimir Putin has praised the Russian cruise missiles fired against terrorists in Syria from the sea. He expressed hope that these weapons would not have to be armed with nuclear warheads.

  David Smith in Washington and Spencer Ackerman in New York The Islamic State group’s second-in-command has been killed in a US raid in Syria, defence...

Sanders knows what he won’t say, maintaining the fiction of efforts for regional peace when none exist. Washington and Israel systematically undermine them.

Jim W. Dean - As I am typing we have the news of the Brussel's bombing shortly after Erdogan throwing a fit over the Kurdish PKK political wing having promoted itself at an EU event there.

-Refugees from the Middle East often pay tens of thousands of euros to shady “businessmen” for a promise to take them Europe, Notis Marias said.

Jim W. Dean - It has become a regular routine that, whenever Erdogan is under the gun diplomatically and needs to play the victim, we have the instant terror bombing attack in Turkey.

Jim W. Dean - To the Syrian Kurds' dismay, who aren't at the talks, those attending have nixed any federation discussions. What will the Kurds do now, continue fighting ISIL, or take a break for a while to try to gain some leverage?

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior army commander said Iran plans to deploy commandos and snipers in Iraq and Syria as military advisers. "At some point we...

Jim W. Dean - The joint Russian-Syrian bombing attack on a large supply column coming over from Turkey on the day Russia began its pullout is quite a story. We have only FARS news carrying it now.

Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin visited Moscow on Wednesday amid concerns in Israel that Russia’s partial withdrawal from Syria will embolden its adversaries, Hezbollah and...

Jim W. Dean - We have the numbers now on some of what the Russians are leaving in Syria. From head of the Parliamentary defense committee we have Viktor Ozerov saying he estimates about 1000 military personnel will be remaining at their two bases.

Jim W. Dean - This is the first report showing Russia withdrawing and attacking at the same time, on the day after Putin's pullback announcement. Strangely there is zero news from the Geneva talks yet, or Turkey.

Jim W. Dean - World reaction to Putin's announcement of a surprise pullback of combat forces has been generally positive, but indications are the Syrian people are apprehensive of aggressive moves by the terrorist supporters to reinforce their positions as the Russians depart.

Jim W. Dean - Putin pulls a game changer on the first day of the Geneva peace talks by announcing the beginning of Russian forces withdrawal from Syria. This will kill all of the NeoCon hype about Russian expansion into the Mid East and why it must be contained. Putin turned the terror war around.

Jim W. Dean - I met Dr. Declan Hayes on our trip to Syria as election monitors in June of 2014. He is the Irish Energizer Bunny that keeps a half dozen Syrian humanitarian aid projects going at all times, a real grunt work activist who gets the job done.
