7. The weapons flowing into Syria are from Iran and Russia (acknowledged) to the Syrian regime.

The US has not supplied weapons to the opposition and has asked the GCC countries and Turkey not to do so either. The opposition has not seen weapons other than the black market, and often had to retreat because they have no weapons. There may have been a few from Libya, but it is not certain that they made their way to the rebels because the Syrian regime was tipped off by someone in the US that an attempt was being made to deliver weapons from Libya to Syria.

Nothing in your post is based on fact; even the statement "decision has certainly made" is a supposition.

You are guessing - something I thought was only the realm of the right wing.
