A stunning “special report” from the Reuters news agency says Syria’s Islamists have seized control of the country while “moderates dither.”
“During a 10-day journey through rebel-held territory in Syria, Reuters journalists found that radical Islamist units are sidelining more moderate groups that do not share the Islamists’ goal of establishing a supreme religious leadership in the country,” the outlet reports.
The lengthy article details how the fractured rebel landscape has led to the Islamists gaining power. It also notes that the citizens of the country don’t seem to mind, as the fighters “have developed a reputation for being principled” and help maintain order — even via Shariah law courts.

Didn't Obama just give them arms? Where are is our Joint Chiefs of Staff with this Muslim President. We are giving them guns to kill us, and trying to take our guns away at the same time. Are we helpless as Americans?
If you did see this coming you were blind!
The Arab Spring, coupled with Obama's lead from behind was a sure recipe for disaster.
And you don't know the half of it. The BBC is reporting that the Taliban opened an OFFICE in Turkey!
Maybe Obama can get a job there when he is done his gig as President.
Both of you are funny. You scream Obama, meanwhile plenty on the right believe we should be handing over SAM's and heavier equipment. You talk about "leading from behind", but the story highlights the exact reason why Obama hasn't jumped in with heavy weapons and/or US troops from the start. Maybe we should take a page from the GOP playbook and just parachute in 100k soldiers with no exit plan, no plan for victory, and not account for it in the budget.
The scenario in the story is being replayed all over the Middle East. Soon all the countries there will be Islamic and enemies of the US and Israel. The US getting into their civil wars on either side is a no-win situation. Both sides would slit our throats in a heartbeat. Of course this doesn't stop one world order club jackasses from sending American kids there to get killed.
