| #4 Rebels?, I guess they don't care who gets the booty. This whole business is so disorganized. Major ongoing mess to follow. |

| #2 Amusing passage from the article about the purported leader-in-exile of the rebels, the Sunni Arab defector As'aad: While As’aad may be cut out of the new weapons transfers, that doesn’t mean other senior FSA defectors aren’t in on the deals. As’aad has often come under friendly fire from members of the opposition who have questioned his effectiveness and his contributions to the struggle against Assad. He has been publicly sidelined by the FSA’s military council in the embattled city of Homs. “Nobody has the right to issue press releases, take decisions or speak about operations in the Free Syrian Army’s name, except for the FSA command inside Syria,” the group’s spokesman, Colonel Qassem Saadeddine, said in a videotaped statement uploaded to YouTube last month. “From now on, all decisions will be taken from inside Syria … Anyone wishing to represent the Syrian people, the free army, or speak in its name, is invited to make their way to the battlefield, to Syria, and wait for the Syrian people to confer legitimacy upon them.” |

| #1 The recent large consignments of weapons are not only new, they are free… But the new consignment hasn’t yet arrived. Indeed, there is growing frustration along the border among rebel commanders who have been waiting weeks for shipments due “any day now,” “in the next few days,” “soon Inshallah.” Hey you…yeah you…c’mere. Wanna taste of some good shit. C’mon…don’t worry dude it’s free. Ain’t this shit da bomb? Want some more…sure go ahead help yerself. Go ahead man take a little stash for yerself too. Check it out…I gotta a line on some real killer shit commin up soon. Hey…I’ll be back in a couple of weeks with a load if you want more. Oh yeah...by the way, tell all your friends if they want some too. |
