Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War

?Knowing what you?ve got, knowing what you need, knowing what you can do without. That?s inventory control.?

This sentence was uttered by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie ?Revolutionary Road.? 

The US military has started training Syrian opposition fighters in Turkey to combat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), an expected expansion of a program that first launched in Jordan weeks ago, a US official told Reuters on May 28. 

The debate on the issues pertaining to Syria and foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) is like a medallion that has two sides.

On one side of the medallion are Turkey?s complaints that its very early warnings of taking no action in Syria would turn the country into a hotbed of terrorists were not taken seriously by its Western allies.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have agreed on the necessity to enforce a safe zone and a no-fly zone in Syria despite the absence of such an agreement with the US administration, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has said.

Britain's David Cameron and Russia's Vladimir Putin have agreed to re-start talks on finding a solution to the crisis in Syria, a statement from Cameron said on May 25.

Turkey and the US have agreed "in principle" to provide air cover to Syrian rebels being trained and equipped to fight against Islamic State once they return to Syria, Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said.

The United States and Turkey have agreed "in principle" to give air support to some forces from Syria's mainstream opposition, Turkey's foreign minister said, in what if confirmed could mark an expansion of U.S. involvement in the conflict. 

Damascus will be ISIS’ next target, after half of Syria has been already taken over by the jihadist terror band.

The shocking display of barbarous intent in destroying ancient ruins across Iraqi and Syria shows that Palmyra, only recently taken, will suffer the same fate.

Syria needs a political change that will leave current leader Bashar al-Assad out, according to Daniel Rubinstein, the United States' special envoy for Syria. 

Russia is ready to provide Iraq with weapons, according to the Russian Foreign Minister, at the same time while Baghdad is ready to stop the ruthless advance of ISIS jihadists.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Iraqi counterpart, will be meeting soon to speak on the efforts to stop the oncoming jihadist wave.
