From comrade Laure: "Look at this joke, he is still looking for moderate opposition groups..
"We need moderate armed opposition leaders in Syria to capitalize on this weariness by moving politically, not just militarily."
Oh, and this:
"But toppling wasn't our goal before and shouldn't be now. We should aim to help the Syrian opposition inflict enough pain on the regime so that, despite al-Assad, the regime finally agrees to negotiate a new government whose first task will be to fight the Islamic State and eventually expel it from Syria.""
