Someone should tell the Saudis and Turks to stop supporting the so-called rebels are in fact, just sunni-Islamists like Al Qaeda.
Very few civild wars just happen in a vacuum. Syria’s in particular brings into play many factors - Sunni Arabs vs. minorities, Saudi Arabia vs. Iran, oil and Saudi and Turkish attempts to install puppet sunni rulers, pipeline politics and strategic games between Russia, the USA and EU.
The Turks and Saudis are also Sunni Islamists just like Al-Qaeda. And I strongly suspect our President and CIA director fall into the same category.
