Can’t be. Must be some kind of enemy agitprop. McCain and Obama told as there are good rebels after all. So it has to be as they said!
...and these are some of the guys that Obama and McCain want to back? I think most of us here on FR new that was a bad idea.
Are these some of the Syrian rebels that Obama and McCain were so desperately eager to arm with US weapons?
Isn’t this the group that McNuts wanted to arm and swore by?
Take up the White Man’s burden—
Send forth the best ye breed—
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives’ need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
Quelle Surprise!
Can anyone say, “Taqqiya”?

The Israeli establishment’s public declaration is that Assad as the main enemy. However, I believe the principal reason the Assad family has been anti-Israel is to placate its rabidly anti-semitic Sunni Arab majority. The idea that putting that majority in charge will moderate their views is probably a risky one. And yet, Israel is between a rock and a hard place. Championing Syria’s Alawites will cause Sunni Arabs in Jordan and Egypt to hate Israel even more, perhaps triggering changes in their toleration for arming the Palestinians. Its best course of action is probably a hands-off approach, and perhaps hyper-secretive back channel assistance to Assad if he falters.
That major of a defection screams FRAUD from the get-go. It’s not just a small or singular move.
“We could have told you!” and many of us did.
Quick! Shift focus elsewhere! How about Cuba?
Oy vey.
And this comes as no surprise except for the sanctions against Russia causing the fall of oil prices. Which may in fact be a counter ploy against the Saudis.
Is Obama ready for an about-face to recognize Assad? Will Syria provide the strike force against ISIS?
this has jarrett the iranian written all over it.
5 minutes after they received Obama’s Black Cheque
Israel is probably on an even more heightened alert in the Golan Heights......
If we had actual leadership in this country, we’d equip and train the Syrian Army to take this fight to ISIS. But we’re completely bereft of leadership.
0bama sends weapons and cash to our enemies ISIS.
There is just a slight delay for re-branding.

Perhaps Obama will now see the folly of trusting anyone in Syria. But I doubt it.
