Syria opposition commander ‘hopes’ for enough U.S. weapons
By Mick Krever, CNN
General Salim Idriss, chief of staff of the opposition Free Syria Army, hopes that promised American weapons will be enough to bolster his troops.
“It is very important now to strengthen the moderate FSA fighters,” Idriss told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday.
In an interview with PBS that aired on Monday, President Barack Obama voiced the concern many skeptics harbor about heavily arming Syria’s opposition.
“Some of the most effective fighters within the opposition have been those who frankly are not particularly towards the United States of America,” Obama said. “Arming them willy nilly is not a good recipe for meeting American interests over the long term.”
Idriss said that the extremist groups about which Obama worries are fighting less in the major cities of Western Syria, and instead are vying for control of the “oil fiends and gas fields” in the Eastern part of the country.
“We need really support from our friends in the United States to be powerful,” Idriss said, “to put an end to the regime and not to allow these groups to have an important role in the future of Syria.”

I love the way America is handling the Syria crisis,left with Russia the war would have escalated beyond this level.
I love the the step the American are taken ,it has left with Russia the situation could be worst because they are supporting the government.
I love the U.S.A stept
The US is sending cases of guns to the rebels, no ammo, just guns. They can use them as clubs.

Needed to draft you the bit of remark just to say thank you as before with the beautiful methods you've contributed at this time. It's simply remarkably generous of you to give publicly all that most of us would have offered for sale as an e-book to end up making some money on their own, specifically considering that you might well have done it in the event you desired. Those basics in addition served like the great way to be sure that many people have a similar interest much like my very own to figure out whole lot more with regard to this matter. I'm certain there are several more fun sessions ahead for individuals that look over your site.
