Obama needs Putin’s help in Syria more than Putin needs Obama’s.

Iran and Russia are coordinating on Syria, while the White House is caught flat-footed.

In 2012, the Russians offered to ditch Assad—and the Administration refused.

Russian troops are on the ground, and more may be coming.

The Obama Administration may quietly be dropping its commitment to the failed, U.S.-run fighter scheme in Syria. But is the alternative any more practical?

The U.S.-trained force of fighters in Syria, originally 60 men, continues to bleed strength—and U.S. prestige.

Al Nusra captures 18 U.S.-trained rebels—or 30 percent of our force.

The Administration rules out no fly zone with Turkey and much else—while still wanting the same result.

Turkey offers a no-fly zone. U.S. Department of State says no.

A year after the U.S. celebrated a diplomatic agreement on WMDs, cheating comes to light.
