Certain forces in Washington are not satisfied with the peaceful settlement in Syria, where the president of the SAD Assad could remain in power at least in the transitional period. Or perhaps after the elections, and in the longer term. Made a few days before the Geneva talks between the representatives of Damascus and the Syrian armed opposition, the statement of US Vice President Joseph Biden of the impending American intervention in Syria has actually deprived the meaning of the upcoming negotiations. Whatever clarification of any use in the future White House to soften and camouflage the undesirable effect of Biden’s words, it looks obvious that American law enforcement agencies have embarked on military intervention in Syria. However, no request for the presence of US military personnel had not received official Damascus. Speaking after talks with Prime Minister of Turkey, Ahmet Davutoglu, US Vice President said the following: “We are ready if a political solution in Syria, it will be impossible to find a military solution to this operation and to repulse Daishev (the Arabic name of the banned Russian groups LIH).” Even more specifically explained the Pentagon’s plans in Syria, Head of US defense officials Ashton Carter: “We are looking for every opportunity to do more. There, in Syria to begin a ground operation”.

“I want to be very clear. This is a strategic issue. We need to help local armed forces in Syria, rather than replace them. We are talking about a ground operation, “- said the head of his department’s plans for the Pentagon. Who are going to fight together with the Syrian Sunni insurgents, American soldiers, the US vice president said very frankly. This army of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. However, the next day, the press office said Biden that order was misunderstood. To fight the Americans in Syria to be militants Daishev, which means “no change in US policy did not happen”.
All of these sounding from the White House and the Pentagon’s controversial statements show hidden from prying eyes struggle which takes place between the diplomatic and United States military authorities. At that time, as the US State Department has publicly advocated the resolution of the Syrian crisis through negotiations between the warring parties in Geneva and supports the efforts of UN Special Envoy on Syria Stefan de Mistura, the American generals, on the other hand, called the strategic issue an invasion of US troops in Syria under the pretext of fighting Daishev .
According to the “RG” in the course of a few days before the meeting Secretary of State John Kerry and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Zurich, Russian side directly asked the US colleagues, whether they favor the territorial integrity of Iraq and Syria? Kerry confirmed: “Yes, speak,” in this issue target Russia and the United States were similar. Closer look the diplomats of the two countries held on the question of the need mezhsiriyskih negotiations. Their organization, including a list of participants, should, according to Lavrov and Kerry, engaged in the first place, the special envoy of the United Nations, while the foreign ministries of Russia and the US will only follow this process and to provide it with the necessary political support.
Other views of the US-Russian cooperation on Syria show the Pentagon, which strongly opposed any military strategic cooperation between the two countries in Syria, except for purely technical harmonization. According to the US defense department, the United States will share the details of a ground operation in Syria with partners “own” coalition, to join the active fight against terrorists. Moscow is not among them, because “continues to support the current regime in Damascus.” So the Pentagon prepared intervention can lead to unpredictable consequences, including military conflict between Russian and American servicemen in Syria. As stated by Ashton Carter, the Americans will fight “on the ground” in the ranks of Sunni insurgents and therefore are not excluded numerous provocations from the “well-wishers” of Moscow. In talks with Kerry, according to “RG”, Russian Foreign Minister raised the issue of the need for closer contacts between the Russian and American military, but was explained that while it is difficult to do.
The promise of military support to the warring factions of the Syrian army, this US vice president on the eve of peace talks in Geneva dilutes their meaning and making useless as encouraging opponents of Assad that with the support of the Pentagon they can win victory. So, do not rush out and agree on anything with the official Damascus in the Geneva format. Pre-announced US plans to invade Syria are designed to encourage similar steps and the “third force” – a coalition led by Saudi Arabia. Earlier, Riyadh has announced his plans to place in Syria, a peacekeeping force, but concrete is not reached. Now, taking into account American plans, the Saudis have to hurry so as not to stand aside in the event of a possible partition of Syria in the future. Namely for such a scenario seems to be behind the scenes are dealing Pentagon strategists, scheduling section Syria into zones of influence – Russia, Turkey and the US, Saudi. Although these goals are not publicly voiced.
Mezhsiriyskie the Geneva talks, which will begin with a favorable scenario, this week, may ultimately prove to be a waste of time, both because of the many contradictions within the Syrian opposition, and because of the unwillingness of the official Damascus to take unreasonable concessions. I should add that the potential participants in the talks in Geneva refused to meet at the table of negotiations and will exchange requirements are in different rooms.

The Pentagon clearly believe the Geneva meeting a waste of time. As the Times, US military personnel have rebuilt the former airfield farm in the northeast of Syria under the airbase. It is located a few kilometers from the border with Syria, Turkey and Iraq. The runway of the aerodrome has been increased from 700 to 1315 meters, which makes it possible to land medium military transport aircraft. The fact that a place in the American base was chosen with the direct participation of Turkey, says the statement of its President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He announced that his country “will not tolerate the formation along the Russian territory stretching from the border with Iraq to the Mediterranean.” Judging by the tone of Erdogan, the Syrian land in Ankara are already considering as a future property, which will help them to get the Americans. In the near future of Iraq will be redeployed elite 101st Airborne Division. Its relocation to a “hot spot,” the Pentagon chief has proved pathetically: “joining the battle against Daishev”.
Under the “roof” has not yet begun in Geneva mezhsiriyskih talks in Washington at least not publicly, prepare to list Syria and Iraq. And this is the reality with which the diplomats of Russia and the United States will be considered.
