I sincerely call on the Syrian armed opposition (and its echo chambers in the New York Times) to improve the quality of their lies

"Hundreds of wounded civilians have been reported to be trapped in the town, which has been under intensifying assault by Syrian government troops and their Hezbollah allies. On Friday, the interim leader of the Syrian Coalition, the main umbrella opposition group, said about 1,000 insurgent reinforcements had broken through military lines and joined their colleagues in Qusayr."   So let me get this straight: the siege of Qusayr is so tight that civilians are trapped in, but the armed opposition smuggled 1000 fighters inside?  Why not allow the trapped civilians leave through the route used by the smuggled fighters? I mean, are we idiots?
