Liz Sly and Anne Barnad have been right all along: the Syrian exile opposition has indeed become united--fist fights notwithstanding

"Head of the Syrian opposition bloc Ahmed Jarba was punched thrice as leaders of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) scuffled during a meeting in Istanbul Thursday, according to a spokesman of the army's chief of staff.

"Jarba received three punches even though he was not involved in the fistfight and was only trying to separate the two camps," Omar Abu Leila told Anadolu Agency on Friday." (thanks Fadi)
