Shane, what are you saying? The Syrian faction they want to support is
openly allied with Al Qaeda? Aren't you aware that the jihadists
killed a top FSA commander just a couple of weeks ago?
Ordinary negotiation technique among that sort of allied types. Let
me know when you see conjfirmed reports of the FSA executing all the
commanders of Al Nusra/Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and expelling
their foreign jihadi recruits from the country.
