Loose bands, dressed as civilians, no recognisable uniform.

Al-Nusra Front fighters celebrate with their weapons as they pose in Jisr al-Shughour town, after they took control of the area April 25, 2015

Sure you can find a few loose bands amongst them but to suggest the entirety are simply loose bands dressed as civilians is disingenuous. The likes of Russia and United states don't sit down to discuss peace plans with loose bands. Btw if you think those photos are people looking like civilians you need to get your eyes checked, they look like your standard rebel rag tag army (who happen to be terrorists) which cant afford uniform military outfits.

There is no confusing them for civilians.

Really ! - drop the ammo belts and guns, put a beer in the hands of each, and they could just as well be an arbitrary group of civilians celebrating their local soccer teams win.

So basically remove everything from them that shows they aren't civilians and then they will look like civilians. Wow good one Inspector Clouseau.

If a Syrian puts a grenade in the hand of every child, are they child soldiers?

Why’s Obama Covering for Russian War Crimes in Syria?

As evidence mounts that Russia is deliberately targeting civilians in Syria with cluster bombs and other anti-personnel weapons, what has long been a nagging question about Washington’s policy has now taken on real urgency: Why is there no comment from the U.S. government is to confirm or refute the allegations of war crimes?

A Human Rights Watch report out Thursday documents how Russian aircraft dropped cluster bombs on an informal fuel market outside Termanin, a village in Idlib province, on July 11, killing 10 and wounding more than 30 people. The victims were all civilians and included two who were first responders.

According to HRW, three fighter aircraft, two of them SU-34s flown only by Russia, and an SU-24 that’s in both the Russian and Syrian air force, launched eight attacks: the first two of them using cluster bombs—large canisters containing dozens of tiny bomblets that scatter through the air and across the ground. Many do not explode—at first, but may kill and maim days, months, even years later.

HRW noted that cluster bombs are “inherently indiscriminate, and repeated strikes on the target even after first responders arrived make the attack unlawful.”

The gains of the SAA around Aleppo are really noticeable when compared to 3 years ago.

Jabhat al-Nusra is getting tired of being bombed and though a name change and quickie divorce from AQ might help...

Syrian jihadist group Jabhat al-Nusra, also known as the Nusra Front, has announced it has split from al-Qaeda.

Leader Abu Mohammed al-Julani, in his first recorded message, said its new name would be Jabhat Fateh al-Sham [Front for the Conquest of Syria/the Levant].

He said the move was intended to remove the pretext used by powers, including the US and Russia, to bomb Syrians.

The US responded by saying it saw no reason to change its view of the group as a terrorist organisation.

He said the decision was made to "expose the deception of the international community, namely the US and Russia, in their relentless bombardment and displacement of the Muslim masses of Syria under the pretext of bombing al-Nusra Front".

The new group "will have no links whatsoever with foreign parties", he added.
