Um. Is It Just Me or
February 23, 2016 at 1:14 pm
does anyone else see the fundamental flaw here?

http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/20...efire.html

Quote:US, Russia agree on plan for cease-fire to halt Syria fighting

Quote:U.S. officials said Monday that the United States and Russia have agreed on a plan for a ceasefire in Syria starting Saturday that would exclude attacks on the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Al-Qaeda's local affiliate.

Well I'll bite but I'm always agreeable to being corrected here, but I'm assuming that Russia and the US aren't shooting at each other because if they would be, I highly doubt they would be using Syria as their battleground. So, I fail to see the point in how their plan is going to actually do anything.

I'm guessing that the flaw is that a 'cease fire' means that all parties involved should cease firing. Clearly, that's not the plan.

Tell me again, why you are surprised by fundamental stupid decisions that can't work?

It's called 'leadership'.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I don't know if this even manages to rise to that level.  Somehow, it seems worse.

I'd be surprised if the cease fire prohibits the Russians from shooting at the factions they say they are not shooting at but really are.

'Pravda' means 'Truth'.

Right, Ivan - pull this one, it's got bells on.
