Life-long Communist becomes Uncle Sam's bum-boy in Syria

Ya right!

You know from the get-go that this is a marriage that will last until the shipments of Stinger missiles are cut off.

George Sabra knows that Uncle Sam is not his friend. In fact, as a committed commie, George Sabra knows that Uncle Sam is his avowed enemy.

Anyone with a brain should be able to figure out that a secular Christian communist isn't going to last long among the Salafist extremists who are doing the heavy lifting in Syria.

But at this point in time, Sabra is Uncle Sam's best bet in Syria.

This does not bode well for American designs on Syria.
