#1 The Obama administration has concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons against the rebels seeking to overthrow him and, in a major policy shift, President Obama has decided to supply military support to the rebels, the White House announced Thursday.

So we are now on Al Qaeda's side ?!

#2 Isn't this News from 2-3 weeks ago???

Then, the Bammer = USA still stood a good chance - Now, wid Assad in control of up to 85% of the countyr + prepping to launch his seming "final offensive" agz the Rebs + aligned, ITS A BIT OF TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

Fergit the NFZ - at this stage, what the Rebs really need is intensive US-NATO airstrikes + combat troops on the ground.

The only altern is that the Rebs become like the Paleos, i.e. a Govt-widout-a-Country, wid the Bammer having to sponsor + engage in 1980's style Contra insurgent operations vee the FSA, etal. in neighboring countries agz the Assad regime.
