He added that fighters of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which is opposed to the Damascus regime and the Isis fighters, had "more experience" after more than three years of conflict, but were in dire need of outside support. "We are tired and running out of provisions. Some fighters have changed sides and now fight with Isis simply because they are able to provide food, houses for their families and good weapons."

lead ISL leader should be used by every Democratic candidate in their campaign. Another should be Queen Gerorgie holding hands with his Saudi bud Bandar. Then we wonder why there is so much shit happening in the Med East.
