U.S. must coordinate with Syrian rebels
By: Mohammed Alaa GhanemI think the civilian deaths have taken an uptick now Assad knows that his airforce isn't going to be interfered with for the time being.
"U.S. air strikes have had important positive impacts. The Islamic State has suffered real losses, and there have been fewer civilian deaths now that Assad’s aerial monopoly is broken. But the dangers are substantial; anti-U.S. sentiment has risen in western Syria, and the Islamic State has continued to creep toward Baghdad. To preserve the viability of its strategy, the United States must complement its air strikes with firm support, in both word and deed, to moderate anti-Islamic State Syrian rebels."
