Remember al-Qaeda? With all the hype about ISIS it's easy to forget that it was al-Qaeda that attacked us, while Daesh never did.
If you've forgotten that, you wouldn't be alone. It seems that Washington has forgotten it as well, because over the last six months we've been at war with the enemies of al-Qaeda.

The long 4-year civil war has had many ebbs and flows, but that can only go on for so long before one side collapses from exhaustion.
President Assad's time in power may be coming to an end.
