Here's how things looked a couple of months ago. The time for patience was over, and thousands of terrified civilians were waiting for NATO intervention. The editorial board obviously believe Obama is not doing enough for those terrified civilians.
Today they ran this AP story about rebels in Syria.
The article was very informative about who the Syrian rebels were. It studiously avoided any reference to non-Syrian rebels.
I found it a very illuminating article. I was not aware of the extent to which the Syrian conflict was a manifestation of class struggle.
I also was astonished to see mainstream administration cheerleaders mention that the Syrian rebels are being pelted with debris by local residents as they fight for their liberation.
This would would lead me to conclude that the non-Syrian rebels are even less welcome.
It's looking like the establishment are backing away from their support of the rebels.
