What’s still missing is a coherent U.S. strategy for ending the civil war in Syria — something that will be necessary for the ultimate destruction of the Islamic State. President Obama and Secretary of State John F. Kerry have been speaking, vaguely, of new diplomatic prospects in the wake of the nuclear deal with Iran and the recent weakening of the Assad regime. But neither has offered a vision of how Iranian and Russian support for the Assads — and Iran’s deep commitment to the Hezbollah militia — could be reconciled with the imperative for a new, representative government that could unite Syrians against the Islamic State.
In fact, such an accommodation may be impossible. That’s why it’s essential that the administration commit to forging a strong Syrian alternative, both political and military, through its new collaboration with Turkey.

Note the title: The U.S. continues to half-step on Syria.
Throughout the summer of 2013 The Washington Post would run at least one, but frequently two, editorials per week demanding that Obama bomb the shit out of Syria, but curiously also at the same time publishing the Snowden Revelations.
The simple and plain fact is that The Washington Post, as the voice of the establishment, wants Assad out as soon as possible. This is why they welcome these zones and also encourage Obama to work with Turkey to oust Assad. They call it a "political and military Syrian alternative" but what they actually mean is war and regime change as per the plan revealed to General Wesley Clark shortly after 9/11.
War.
Regime change.
War.
Regime change.
War.
Regime change.
War.
Regime change.
