I hope the new leader will be
Mouaz al-Khatib , who is a cousin of my best friend and colleague. He is intelligent, unifying, and is not a hard-line fundamentalist. He is a no nonsense guy who says what he means, and means what he says.

Sounds like a pipe dream to me. Apparently, nobody has asked Putin. It appears this Muslim administration just can't take a hint from Benghazi?

This is all so funny in a way. How many weapons including man pads has the US already provided the Islamic rebel groups fighting in Syria.
So many things have become so transparent in recent days.

The Food Stamp President takes action to recognize his fellow Sunni Muslims in Syria. See, it isn’t that difficult to tell the truth directly!

What is really scary: Barry and Hillary are putting America on a collision course with Russia and China who back Assad.
The ethnic breakdown is the key. Assad's Alawite and Shi'ite Muslims are 13%, 3% are Druze Muslims, Christians 10%, and Sunni Muslims 74%. Iran, a Shi'ite state is allied with Assad. Assad is an Alawite and the Shi'ites, Christians and Druze are backing him because they see the Sunnis as the major threat. Russia and China are backing Iran and Syria.
The Free Syrian Army are Sunni fundamentalists that want to make Syria into another Sharia-compliant Muslim dictatorship. If the Free Syrian Army wins this fight, count on genocide of major proportions as they slaughter the losers. Russia, China, and Iran aren't going to let this happen.
THAT reality puts the idiotic Saudi-driven foreign policy of Hillary and Barry at odds with the Russians and Chinese. Hillary and Barry are playing with World War III here, but they are too stupid to understand that.

I don’t know, but no one in DC seems to be worried! Idiots.
