1. This doesn't bode well for the West's plans. Our guys at the table are empty suits.

And the guys with the guns want a caliphate, not empty blather from guys sipping coffee in Ankara:

"Mohannad al-Najjar, an activist close to the leadership of one of the statement’s most powerful signers, Al Tawhid Brigade, said the group intended to send a message of disapproval to an exile leadership it believes has accomplished little.

'We found it was time to announce publicly and clearly what we are after, which is Shariah law for the country and to convey a message to the opposition coalition that it has been three years and they have never done any good for the Syrian uprising and the people suffering inside,' he said."
