Why is the US handing the Middle East to al Qaeda?

This item from the Telegraph paints an intriguing picture of what's going on in Syria now. Not that one should reflexively believe all that appears on their website, but it looks like at this point the war is largely between the Assad military and a mostly-foreign army of radical Sunnis.

I am baffled at what the US strategy is here. It's been clear that official Washington has been supportive of the war from the beginning, but why?

Surely not to place Syria in the hands of al Qaeda, the people the Nations of Virtue have been waging the "War on Terror" on?

Do they even have a strategy?

Or are they just trying to figure out how to catch up with history?
