59. You are right, we can't change the facts

Fact one, Syria was slated for regime change as early as 1998, nothing you can say to change that fact.

Fact two, the US and western powers have been involved in training the FSA from early in in both Turkey and Jordan, including US forces.

Fact three, the Saudis did indeed offer to pay for the whole thing. You think it's because of humanitarian concerns or most likely a pipeline?

Fact four, they have been mulling humanitarian corridors from early days both along the Jordanian and Turkish Borders. Nobody is willing to do that, yet, since it is not politically feasible. It is a selling of it issue.

Fact five, both sides (assuming for a second there are only two sides) have committed horrific crimes.

Fact six, this is not just about WMDs. It is the excuse. I am glad it worked with you.
