the responsibility of the Syrian National Council and when Jeffrey Feltman pontificates

This lousy outfit is responsible for losing support among non-Syrian Arabs.  The pronouncements and alliances of the Syrian National Council have clearly undermined Arab popular support and sympathy for the Syrian protest movement.  Two weeks ago, there was a call for a demonstration in Egypt in support of Syrian protests and no one showed up except the Salafites.  The biggest demonstration in Tunisia on Syria was in support of Bashshar Al-Asad (unfortunately, of course).  But that shows you how the Arab people feel about the Syrian uprising and i am not speaking on their behalf but it is clear that the issue is not moving Arabs the way the "authentic" Egyptian and Tunisian uprisings moved all Arabs.  It is unthinkable that either the Tunisian or the Egyptian uprising would call for NATO support or Saudi or Qatari support.  Unthinkable.  Look at Libya: there is no sympathy whatsoever in the Arab world for Libya's NATO militias. I write this because I read that Jeffrey Feltman in his testimony in US Congress this week basically said that support for US policies on Syria and hostility to Bashshar Al-Asad are prevalent in all Arab countries: clearly, Feltman was talking about GCC dynasties but this is a common US error: they conveniently conflate Arab ruling dynasties in the Gulf with the Arab people.
