In any case, supporting Assad is (IMHO) in America’s best interests. Its a pity that only the Russians have the balls to openly support him.

I don't support us openly supporting Assad -- it will open us to too much criticism.

it's better to sit by and NOT help the jihadis. Assad can crush them, but not completely as the Sauds are supporting them

the best outcome for America -- as I said is Assad winning, but NOT winning enough, so that he always has to focus on rebels at home and not have any time to focus on the near or far abroad -- just like we should have done with Qaddafi.

It's so annoying that the Arab league are asking for the West to intervene militarily when you KNOW that the moment there is one stray bullet, they will scream "infidels attacking Moslems. We never asked for this"....
