Was This Fantasy Syria Timeline Leaked To Push For Open War?
……………This reads as if a White House intern got high and dreamed up a wishlist for regime change planers. There are more problems here than actual steps:
Who is “the opposition”?
What is a “security committee” and who would decide who joins it?
Who would legislate an amnesty under what legal authority?
What is a “transitional government body” and who would decide who joins it?
On what basis should such a presumably unelected body have any authority to institute “major legal reforms”?
…
Why would Assad “relinquish” his presidency?
Why would the “inner circle”, which presumably includes Syria’s military leaders, agree to depart?
What about the Islamic State and al-Qaeda in Syria?
Following this fantasy timeline would constitute a complete surrender of the current Syrian government and its allies. With the Syrian army progressing on all fronts there is no reason for them to agree to it.
The people who leaked the above nonsense must know that it is complete unrealistic. Why then was it leaked?
My hunch is that the leak is from someone who has a “faster please” mentality for spreading more chaos in the Middle East. The Associated Press story is framed as “Assad would outlast Obama presidency”. It is to incite the war hawks like Clinton to demand an faster if not immediate “solution”. Such would require an open war including with Russia.
We expect this leak to be followed by new calls for a “no-fly zone” and other war starting gimmicks.

2500 ISIS Fighters Killed Over the Past Month
Fort Russ – 6th January, 2016

According to a US spokesman, coalition air strikes have caused the death over approximately 2.500 Islamic State (ISIS fighters) in Syria and Iraq during the past month. Effectively, this puts the death toll at almost 100 jihadists a day. However, no evidence was given by the American official to back the claim.
On the other hand, the Russian Air force, Syrian Arab Army and Iraqi Armed Forces have undoubtedly caused more ISIS deaths in the month of December, killing countless terrorist fighters; especially in Ramadi, Deir Ez-Zor, eastern Hama, around Kuweiris Airbase and at the town of Mahin. Russian air strikes are coordinated with the Syrian Arab Army and the collaboration is allowing for more specific and effective targets. Russian commanders prefer to use military jets to enable large-scale ground offensives. Meanwhile, the US tends to aim for ISIS infrastructure.
