Well this is special. It's not unexpected. What a freaking dog's breakfast the middle east has become. Sheesh.
Iraqi al-Qaeda, Syrian group join forces
Al-Qaeda's branch in Iraq and the most powerful rebel extremist group in Syria have officially joined ranks against President Bashar Assad to forge a potentially formidable militant force in the Middle East.
The merger of the Islamic State in Iraq and Jabhat al-Nusra forms a new entity that could be an even stronger opponent in the fight to topple Assad and become a dominant player in what eventually replaces his regime.

Just unreal. Iraqi Prime Minister nails it. Imagine Al Qaeda running Syria. YIKES!
In a column published today in the Washington Post, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned that a Syria controlled by al-Qaeda and its affiliates "would be more dangerous to both our countries than anything we've seen up to now."
He added that such a scenario "grows more likely by the day."
