Reader comment on item: Qatar's Risky Overreach

Obama keeps saying he might still arm Syria's 'moderate' anti Assad forces. Give us all a break, everyone - Qatar, Saudi, Kuwait, NATO, especially Turkey have been arming ALL the fighters in Syria for three years. It is a Balkanisation project to smash Syria, and they all want a piece of the pie, Gulf oil pipes could be laid to Turkey and onto Europe, Israel could take the full Golan Heights with no local southern Syrian Druze opposition, the Shia axis from Iran to South Lebanon could be cut and the regional Sunni position strengthened. It's a perfect storm of realpolitik and aligned interests all at the cost of Syrian lives. Viva Assad!
