Assad's cousin: West is right to back Syrian opposition, but it is backing the wrong one

6. Please provide facts for the following claims:

"The opposition since last March has been primarily from the outside. It's the Syrians who have died"

"And it's the fault of those from the outside who misled them to believe that the cavalry was right over the hill."

From all I have read - and I read daily, both of those statements are not only false, but preposterous.

I would like to read more than one source to support those claims. Please provide them.
