The Assad regime would have used their place in the oil and gas pipeline network to move oil and gas from the Gulf and Iraq, but also Iranian oil and gas as well. That is where it all broke down. So the 'revolutionaries' have been blowing up Syrian pipeline infrastructure, while ultimately the plan is for US and Saudi interests to lay more pipeline as soon as the first Cinnabon franchise as been opened in Aleppo.
Once the network is in place in the Gulf, Iraq, Jordan and Syria, the oil can bypass shipping in waters that Iran can attack. Meanwhile, many in the national security state of Israel would like to see Syria broken up so that they can secure the watershed to Palestine forever. A partial invasion of Syria by Israel would be done under the guise of something like 'securing chemical weapons', but it would really be to get even more of the watershed than Golan provides. Perhaps the Kurds and other pro-US in Iraq think the same thing (since Syria is at the head of both watersheds, Palestine and Mesopotamia).
