Media claims on Syria

"The fierce fighting in Qusayr pits mainly Alawite and Shiite fighters on the side of President Bashar al-Assad against rebels who are mostly Sunnis..." Not only Anne Barnard, who can't really be faulted given her lack of training in Middle East studies and reporting, but all the rest: notice that they still insist that only `Alawites are fighting in the Syrian regime army when most soldiers are in fact Sunnis.  The reality really bothers their narrative so they simply invent a new reality to fit their sectarian picture fed to them by the armed groups.
