Shades of the Iran-Iraq war.
When your enemies are busy digging a hole to jump into..don't stop them..maybe just a little encouragement. Just enough arms to help the Sunni rebels to keep them in the fight, but not win. And just enough pressure on Assad to keep them vulnerable and prevent weapons being transferred to Lebanon.

Right now, with Obama’s help, the jihaadis are on a roll heading to a caliphate with no real opposition. An islamic civil war is the best way to stop them. Oddly enough, our presently confused foreign policy seems to be blundering in the right direction, provided we can keep fools like McCain, Graham, and Obama from getting us married the the A/MB side and giving it enough aid to win. Only a big, bloody, endless Islamic civil war will eventually burn out the fire of radical Islam.
