Syrian opposition conference in Turkey

"I hope you are well. So, being Syrian and all, I was following the supposed opposition meeting in Turkey and from the get-go I find it fishy (I don't know, maybe it's the typical paranoia we all have). For one thing, I don't trust the MB, nor any 'activist' who resides in the US (perhaps, I'm just closed-minded).  Anyways, here are some interesting things i found. 

here is the Wall Street Journal account of the events: 

Within this piece, our 'friend', Ammar Abdulhamid, is of course quoted: 

""The platform for us is agreed upon: to bring down the regime," said Ammar Abdulhamid, a Washington-based activist. "Every single person here is in consensus on this," he said, sitting in the corner of a hotel lobby where men huddled, women planned a fast in solidarity with their relatives in Syria, and children ran around wearing "Free Syria" caps and pins. Chiefs of Syria's large Bedouin tribes roamed in traditional robes. "We know it's a logistical nightmare," Mr. Abdulhamid said. "But there seems to be a consensus." " 

here is the Washington Post account: 

In it, there is this quote: "Nor do the delegates want the committee to assume leadership of the revolt on behalf of those protesting inside Syria. “This uprising is leaderless. No one can speak on behalf of the revolution,” said Radwan Ziadeh, one of the organizers and director of the Washington-based Syrian Center for Political and Strategic Studies."
The Syrian Center for Political and Strategic Studies has an advisory board, which is weirdly composed of a lot of white folks (Joshua Landis, whom I have issues with), and Patrick Seale....and Ammar Abdulhammid.  Perhaps I'm being too picky or reading into things, but there are so many dirty forces at work here and we (the Syrian public) don't really have any true representative for the people (other than of course, the people demonstrating).  I hope to hear your thoughts."  (thanks Yazan)
