The article is a warning that Syria will descend into chaos with militant Islamists running the country.

I think that they are right, at this point defeating Isis and Alquaida in Syria are at odds with removing Assad and his government. This is a sad but true fact on the ground. Unless we want to send 200,000 troops and occupy like Iraq. There is really no other solution than to defeat one or the other.

Very sad situation, which is why no one has a plan
