Syrian opposition chooses Saudi-backed leader

EXCERPT

The Syrian National Coalition chose Ahmad Jarba as its president after a close runoff vote that reinforced the influence of Saudi Arabia over a perpetually divided opposition movement that has struggled to convince its Western and Arab allies that its fighters are ready to be given sophisticated foreign weaponry.

Jarba is a tribal figure from the eastern Syrian province of Hasaka who has Saudi connections. He defeated businessman Mustafa Sabbagh, a point man for Qatar, which has seen its influence over the opposition overshadowed by the Saudis.

The Muslim Brotherhood, the only organized faction in the Syrian political opposition, has seen its mother organization in Egypt thrown out of power in Cairo this week along with President Mohamed Mursi.

But the Brotherhood representative, Farouq Tayfour, was elected one of two vice-presidents of the Syrian National Coalition in a sign the group still retains influence in Syrian opposition politics.

Well Maggief...they have the call out from the Brotherhood for Jihad against Egypt ...no doubt the Pro-Morsi will continue to have the thuggery among them...and they are set to take life..and initiate a civil between the two sides.

Last night I spent some time on an Egyptian site...amazing the illiteracy... much like the low-end voters here in the US...they are looking for an idol not a leader...and you cannot reason with minds like that. Many pro-morsi people are in thick denial he’s gone..believe he will be back as Pres.

So Egypt has a real problem with many low end voters...the next Leader will have to appeal to their bellies and “stuff” like O does here.

Meanwhile the protests will continue...neither side will stand down for a while yet.
