They maybe sons of a bitches but they are our sons of a bitches

If we are to believe our media and government those Russians are bombing jihadist moderates (an oxymoron, if there was one) who have been supplied with weapons and training by the West nd the Gulf States. Many countries have been active in presenting Al Nusra, an affiliate of Al Qaida, as allies against the Syrian government and are critical of the Russians bombing their bases and arms depots.

The commander of the Kurdish People’s Defense Units (YPG) specifically identifies Jabhat al- Nusra (al-Qaeda in Levant), al- Soltan Morad Brigade and Ahrar al- Sham Movementas as its enemies who they fight as well as ISIS. “In my opinion, there is no big difference between Jabhat al- Nusra and Daesh [ISIS] but the war with al- Nusra is a little bit complicated because there are a lot of Syrians in its ranks and because there are some parties attempting to burnish its image on media.”  He goes on to say “it saddened us that there are some people in the Free Syrian Army who do not differ from Jabhat al-Nusra in their actions.”

Al-Nusra preaches religious war against the Shiites and Alawites motivated by the same Sunni Muslim extremism as ISIS originating from Saudi Arabia’s Wahabbism.
