Do you believe that the Republican candidates you pimped for in 2008 (McCain) and 2012 (Romney) would have been better than Obama in that department? And is it possible that not all of the rebels, who so badly need U.S. assistance (and we all know U.S. helps with no strings attached), are fighting for "freedom," but rather for the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Western oil/gas interests, Al Qaida types, etc.? Is it not possible that the latter (in fact, their patrons) are the ones calling the shots (or, in this case, the U.S. bombs)? > Whatever.

I don't know whether they are made up largely by foreign fighters, but I do find the suspicion plausible.
