Sorry, I misplaced my scorecard. Now, al Qaeda, what side are they on? They're Sunni so presumably they fight against the regime; that right?

If so....get out the popcorn. I may actually start to pay attention.

The rebel and al-Qaeda were both on the same side, but have turned against each other. So the new front opened in Syria is the rebel against al-Qaeda, not against Assad.
