Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem has said that his country is ready to work with the international community to battle against "terrorists" within the framework of a recent UN resolution.
In a news conference in Damascus on Monday, he also warned that Syria must be involved in co-ordinating any air strikes against the Islamic State group in Syria, after the US said it was considering extending operations into Syrian territory.
"Syria is ready for co-operation and co-ordination at the regional and international level to fight terrorism and implement UN Security Council resolution 2170," Muallem said.
He confirmed, in response to a question, that the country's willingness to do so would extend to co-operating with the US and the UK.
Muallem added that Syria was willing to participate in such efforts as part of a regional or international coalition, or on the basis of bilateral cooperation.
However, he noted: "We must feel that the co-operation is serious and not double standards.
"Any violation of Syria's sovereignty would be an act of aggression."

these guys starting to realize that we are not so bad afterall? Or are they just trying to exploit our superior firepower?
We will probably take their bait, and give them $100 million a year in aid.

I'm thinking the same. We have short memories apparently.

Wat? Syria never had an issue with the USofA

This is as it should be. You can say what you want about Assad, but he kept the peace in Syria and protected religious minoritiies, like Christians. If he has been dealing with ISIS and actually did use chemical weapons, does anyone doubt why?
I am not saying that he is a good guy. But, I am saying that when leaders of sovereign nations try to keep power and keep some stability in their nation, we often act like they are monsters. Maybe we don't know what is going on there the way we think we do?
Syria is not helpful to the U.S. But, in this case, I think that his request is reasonable.

Now Syria is drawing the red lines.

I'm reminded of the scene in The Silence of the Lambs when Hannibal Lecter offers to help Clarice Starling catch Buffalo Bill.

Only the Obama administration could go from trying to topple the current government to helping them within such a short span of time.

They should get the Russians involved for their air support now.

Why can't Syria just gas them?
