David Ignatius: I swear to you, he wrote almost those exact words about Gen Dr Eng Salim Idriss

David Ignatius found yet again a savior for Syria:  "A new Syrian opposition leader who may help get the balance right is Jamal Maarouf. He heads a group called the Syria Revolutionaries Front and is the leading moderate rebel commander in northern Syria. I spoke Thursday by phone with Maarouf, who was near the Syria-Turkey border. He outlined a two-pronged strategy that sounded more pragmatic than anything I’ve heard from the opposition in recent months. "   Basically, whoever Saudi and American intelligence picks to head the gangs in Syria, he declares a savior.
