If You Thought Benghazi Was Bad, Watch Syria

Right now none of these people are really our friends, nor are they likely to be in the near future. The locals in the FSA are more and more being shunted to the side by the foreign jihadis according to many reports. Then you have Hezbollah fighting on Assad’s side, so it is the Iranian backed Shia against the Sunni’s backed by Qatar, Saudi, and others.

I just don’t see us winning any close friends or gaining any real influence in a post Assad Syria, at least not by using third parties to add to their weapons stockpiles.
