Funding of Syrian National Council

New TV (which has financial ties to Qatar) yesterday reported that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are providing more than $100 million of monthly support for the Syrian National Council, but that amount has been lowered to $85 million, presumably due to the disunity in the ranks of the opposition.  Mabruk (congratulations in Arabic).  If this is a revolution, it is a damn well-funded revolution reeking of Saudi oil and Qatari gas.
