“Moderate rebel groups”...There are no moderate rebel groups if you are Christian or even a different flavor of Islamic. Whoever came to power in Assad’s place would likely just be a different flavor of ISSIS. ISSIS is essentially what you get when you render down the Koran to its basic tenants. None of the Koran is good for those who are not running the government or who are Christian.
One has to wonder, then, why Israel wants Assad out.
The best way to help Israel deal with Irans growing nuclear capability is to help the people of Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad [Hillary Clinton]Now you know why we are (or were) in Syria.
