Western nations have been cheerfully backing Syrian rebels from virtually the beginning, but the direct involvement of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), which has merged with the rebel Jabhat al-Nusra faction, has caused at least a little trepidation.
The next round of meetings next weekend involving the Friends of Syria nations, which constantly hold summits aimed at shoring up funding for rebels, is said to include some pushes to find a “peaceful settlement” fearing Nusra’s rise to prominence is going to make their past backing a ticket to an al-Qaeda-dominated Syria.
Which will be a change even if they are minor efforts, since the Friends of Syria have mostly eschewed “peaceful settlement” on general principle and have instead wanted an unconditional regime change.
It’s unclear how sincere they are in talking settlement this time either, with major new arms programs just being unveiled and French officials trying to downplay al-Qaeda’s involvement as a “game-changer,” insisting that abandoning the effort to impose regime change just because of fears the new regime might be al-Qaeda backed would waste all the efforts already put in.
This is simply a lie.., washing the guilty hands claiming that is the other guy fault.., all these terrorist groups are no match for the Syrian army to defeat or killing them in a weeks time…, it is those guilty hands as Saudis, Qatari, the Jordanians, the Turkish, the USA the English the French and whomever that have lied about this as well as other wars blaming everything on what themselves are.., stats sponsored terrorism.
It´s a little late for damage control now don´t you think Ditz?
"Moderate freedom fighters" are practically non-existent, most of them who didn´t see the point in burning down Syria, slitting throats and chanting "Allauh Akbar" has shifted side back to the government and are now mopping up liberated places as militias after the SAA. Whatever differences they have with the Syrians are put on hold to after the war, Al-Quaida, mostly from abroad, is the ones who are doing the fighting, not primarily for israel but for their medieval caliphate and CIA/Mossad /Mi5 are quite happy with that. It went so well in Libya didn´t it?
Ignorant and confused, but a donor! So Jason, who's funding al-Quaeda in Syria? Iran and Saud both hate'em. Who's their daddy, Rodman?
