Very interesting. The other narrative that I heard was that Iran/Russia arranged the trap because of their hatred of US efforts to bring down Assad and Syria. each of these narratives would be somewhat exclusive of the other, though.

Could you please explain in detail the sources for your article? Is it from one overall web site, or many?

The cooperation between an AQ affiliate and Turkey is a bit disconcerting, as the US was supposedly supporting Muslim Brotherhood operations in Syria via Turkey where the MB operates as an AQ rival. One hypothesis that explains it is that Putin put his foot down about the operation in Benghazi as a "red line in the sand," Zero blinked, and the Turks were allowed to deliver the "We were caught, you're dead now, sorry," message to Stevens before AQ did the deed.

There were scads of links in the article. Did you avail yourself of them?

Is a website....with a number of articles ....I found this ONE very interesting:

The Istanbul Control Room

***************************************EXCERPT*************************************

Substantial swaths of northern Syria are now “free” zone. Especially in the province of Idlib.

I will focus on the “free” zone, especially the territory that is still called ‘Idlib.’

But who’s on the ground withstooding the Assad regime army’s, and even repelling it?

Where do the guns come from? Who buys them?

Journalists and academics categorize the fighters by naming an organization, and by assuming that in a hot war the old boundaries still stand. They don’t. It moves and changes. That’s why we need a dynamic way of informing the data.
