Ilyas Khuri appeals to the "left" in the Syrian "revolution"

This is a funny one, really. Ilyas Khuri is not happy about the state of the Syrian "revolution" so he appeals to the "left" in the "revolution".  When I read that sentence, I strained to find out what he means by the left until I realized that he is talking about Gen. Salim Idriss.  Ha ha ha
