By Michael Rubin – AEI Ideas – September 20, 2014 – Mention Henry Kissinger to most Kurds and the reaction will range from a grimace to a colorful string of expletives. The reason is that in 1975, Kissinger effectively pulled the rug out from the Kurdish uprising against Saddam Hussein and left the exposed to slaughter. Mention Ronald Reagan and the reactions are hardly better. It was Reagan, after all, who turned a blind eye to Saddam Hussein’s use chemical weapons against the Kurds.
MESOP REPORT : YPG & Rebel Forces Challenge ISIS in Northern Syria
By Joseph Sax – Insitute fort The study of War
20-9-2014 – An important instance of unity among counter-ISIS forces has emerged in Northern Syria, possibly galvanized by recent effective operations against ISIS in Iraq by local Iraqi forces with the support of U.S. airstrikes. The Kurdish YPG, Jabhat al-Akrad [The Kurdish Front], and numerous FSA-affiliated rebel groups announced the formation of the “Euphrates Volcano” joint operations room in Northern Aleppo and Raqqa Provinces on September 10, the most significant rebel-YPG coordination to date. The video statement announcing the formation of the operations room declared the intent liberate to Qarah Qawzaq, Sireen, and Jarablus in addition to Manbij, Raqqa, and their surroundings, and called for material support from the international community in the fight against ISIS. The joint force appears to have immediately initiated operations against ISIS, claiming responsibility for a VBIED targeting an ISIS vehicle in the village of Qarah Qawzaq in the northeastern Aleppo countryside on September 11. A second VBIED in the ISIS-held city of Tabqa west of Raqqa went unclaimed, but is likely to have been conducted by groups within the operations room.

MESOP : KIRSTIN HELBERG’S COMMENTRAY – Wanted: moderate, reliable rebels for fight against IS
Qantara 19-9-2014 – The US wants to bolster the Syrian rebels in the fight against IS. But which of the groups is it supposed to support? Kristin Helberg examines three reasons why the search for suitable allies on the ground is not as straightforward as it seemsIt all sounds so simple. The US bombards IS from the air while local rebels fight it on the ground. This strategy is currently working to a certain extent with the Kurdish Peshmerga in northern Iraq, and Obama now wants to try it in Syria. But who is the West supposed to co-operate with? Who are these “moderate rebels” we keep hearing so much about?
