Those poor rebels in Syria

"The idea that a poorly organized, lightly armed opposition force could somehow get so close to the seat of power..."  Yes, incredible.  I mean, the notion that a force financed by the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, France, and UK and armed by UAE, Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, and is assisted by the intelligence services of the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, UAE, France, UK, and Turkey would pull this off is just amazing.  Who would have thought.
