Syrian Rebel Spokesman Decries U.S., UK Aid Decision
2013-12-13
[An Nahar] A front man for Syria's main Western-backed rebel group has criticized the decision by the United States and Britannia to suspend nonlethal aid to opposition fighters in northern Syria.

The U.S.-British decision reflected Western fears of the growing strength of al-Qaeda-linked forces among the rebels. It came after some of the aid was seized by Islamic bully boys.

The rebel front man, Louay Muqdad, said Thursday that Free Syrian Army commanders would contact U.S. and British officials to clear up the "misunderstanding."

He said he hoped the decision would be reconsidered because it would impact negatively on the Syrian people, not just the rebel FSA.

Wednesday's suspension was another blow to the rebels amid diminished international support for their struggle and recent losses on the battlefield against Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

#1  At last check, the last major FSA rebel commander has been forced by Al-Qaeda to flee Syria to lands Not-Syria.

For all intensive purposes, the Syrian conflict is now between new Bammerika BFF + future OWG "Co-Superpower" Rising Iran, + Rising-Iran's Ally-hence-Bammerika's-other-BFF Baby Assad, wid the Qaeda Boyz, etal. foreign Militant Groups caught in the middle between them.

The alternative is that US, NATO-EU troops [read, UK] now serving in Afghanistan = AFPAK get redeployed to Syria [Iraq II? Lebanon? Turkey?]in NEW GROUND, DRONE WAR AGZ CIRCA 140-165,000-N-RISING FOREIGN JIHADI FIGHTERS IN SYRIA.

THE PRICE AMER PAYS FOR STAYING OUT OF NEW WAR IS IRAN GETS TO GO NUKULAAR [Hezbollah? Other?]+ HAVE A NEW PROTO-GREAT POWER/SUPERPOWER-STYLE MILPOL PRESENCE IN THE EASTERN MED + ELSEWHERE.

D *** NG IT, ITS JUST GOOD OWG "GLOBALISM"!
