Nir Rosen on Syria

In this Q and A with Nir, the only thing that is missing from the page is "brought to you by Qatar Airways."  I mean, the stuff there is precious.  People are selling their belongings and jewelry to get weapons?  First, let us say that it is true, how on earth did Nir know? And is there anything that his one-side informants tell him that he does not believe 100 %?  And if Saudi Arabia and Qatar SAY that they support the Syrian National Council and Free Syrian Army financially and politically, why would they need to sell anything?  Wait.  Does Nir believe that Hariri. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE are not in the habit of throwing money and arms on their clients or on clients of US/Israel in the Arab world?  I mean his account is just fanciful.  He dismisses any Salafite or Ikhwan presence and yet brings up the notion of Sufi influence? Where did you get that Sufi stuff, Nir?  So the folks are fighting for Hallaj's memory?  If only we knew.  Then Nir tells us that people drink alcohol: is that an attempt to make them secular too?  Nir: your account would have been credible if we don't have access to the chants, to the Islamic names of the all the units of the Free Syrian Army, to the names of the Friday.  Nir's account is believable if one is to believe that Hariri, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar give aid but with no strings attached.  But Nir: your account is not really fresh.  I read similar account about how the Libyan NATO rebels are really all secular and and that they have no connections to Islamism and that they are even feminists.  And now we know better.  If only you were a bit less cautious, this piece would not have been as ridiculous as it is.  Also, Nir admits that the armed men of Free Syrian Army kill people but he reports that they only kill Shabbihah (armed goons of the regime).  Nir: tell the families of the innocent `Alawites who were butchered and lynched in Homs that their loved ones were Shabbihah.
