making arrangements for example one faction of christians with the husband to protect them so if you see the armenian christians in lebanon doing the same thing it's a matter of survival for them at this point and if there's a spillover from syria. is to fall you're going to see tremendous flight of christians and other minorities on. that's going to overwhelm the middle east it will be a humanitarian disaster not just for christians but for all but the for the christians it is a matter of survival but what are the what are their their their their numbers today for example in lebanon are tremendous minority in addition to being split they they're very concerned they're the ones who are actually keeping down the palestinians from having their the full expression of their rights for jobs and for owning property because they're very fearful that that they will that the sudanese for example will become the majority and so you have these in internal conflicts in these in each country each country is different and and i think that if there is any massive amount of interference from outside

i hate to be different all the time but i think on the lebanese scene in fact the christian factions fighting over power it is not a matter of joining hezbollah because they get protection but because this faction wants to take power rather than the other faction and lebanon is a very unique case because in their constitution it actually states that the president must be not just a christian but a christian modern a modern knight and the prime minister must be a muslim but not just a muslim but a sunni one and the speaker of the parliament must be a shiite muslim so there is this division between them which weak they call democracy but i don't know if you exclude ok but i think it's really interesting i don't deny that ok but. wouldn't that be good for other countries and i don't understand but that's on paper go ahead michael go ahead jump in the reality on the ground is different survival is a viable for them means power if they don't survive that will they will they will lose power they were a majority at one time and that's when the constitution was developed to to reflect the pr

tracking the web in the making sure that they don't get to the hands of most extremist al-qaeda factions of the militia will that the commanders the the white house is working with on the ground the syrian opposition the come out publicly and said that they you know they don't want to extremist forces in the opposition there's no room for that but really these forces have been instrumental in the war is if if the opposition is fighting against pro assad forces in aleppo and you have new. in the foxhole next to you you know you're fighting with the vets who are your allies there that's or you're going to be sharing weapons with it's going to be hard to put the mechanisms on place in place on the ground to make sure the weapons only stay with certain vetted factions of the opposition and i have to ask why now because obviously this conflicts been going on for two years i mean tens of thousands dead is the timing a coincidence at all here let me just another way to phrase it is why after ninety thousand people have keep been killed why does one hundred fifty people killed by chemical weapon

were originally set for early this month have been thrown into doubt to syria's main opposition factions says it want to enter negotiations until the lebanese group hezbollah stops fighting alongside a syrian government troops meanwhile it's been confirmed that several four in a national zoo including an american woman and a u.k. citizen have been killed fighting on the side of the rebels archies marina partner as a details. the american woman that killed fighting alongside opposition forces in syria has been identified as thirty three year old nicole lynn mansfield her driver license photo in which she's pictured wearing a headscarf was broadcast by a syrian television station mansfield reportedly converted to islam after falling in love and marrying an arab immigrant according to her family mansfield to forced that man three years ago now the u.s. is reportedly working via the czech republic mission in syria to obtain more information about mansfield's but this is not the first case of an american fighting in syria earlier this year eric harroun a former u.s. soldier made headlines whe

that are revolting seem like bad people to be arming in fact one rebel faction al nasra which according to the guardian is an islamist organization with links to al-qaeda is quickly becoming the most powerful rebel faction of all of them the b.b.c. even declared that al nasra has been designated as a terrorist organization by the us government itself as it started something like a bad idea to ship weapons into syria on american taxpayers' dollars yet let's just pretend that somehow all these weapons will magically not fall into the hands of al nasra well the free syrian army isn't much better they seem perfectly happy to use rape and beheadings and genocide against christian l. white minorities with great glee to get what they want arming radical groups always has blowback if you remember back to just the one nine hundred eighty s. the u.s. funded and armed the taliban and those mujahideen fighter guys and look how that turned out the u.s. government seems way too eager to arm radical foreigners and disarm average americans when they should be doing the exact opposite but that's just my

wrong hands and this is why the syrian opposition is made up of many divided and often competing factions and truly there is no force that can represent it as a whole there is the syrian national council the national coalition for syrian revolutionary and opposition forces the supreme military council the free syrian army the international coordination committee the job of the brigade and many more like to point out that only the n.c.c. says it's open to dialogue with the authorities while all the others have officially proclaimed their goal is to topple the regime the only difference being how extreme their approaches are and here is where these two rebel groups stand out . is officially recognized as a terror organization by the u.s. it's also known for its links to al qaeda and for being among the most highly trained rebel forces currently on the ground in syria and the fire brigade perhaps just as notorious after one of its leading commanders was shown eating the body parts of a dead syrian soldier on video but despite warnings raised by international human rights groups including the

on the focal point and in fact it might now there's tens of thousands of people and the occupying faction is not a particular insight it seems that the critique of me because in the classroom it's coming on that. from what people are saying it doesn't seem like it's a guide to them they say. and i think it's an outline that began when artlessly phil and me producer. news agency thanks very much for the update let's go if you know from turkey's political position should we talk to me good from the peace and democracy party joining us on the phone other nazmi thanks being with us and also the same question that i just asked our correspondent as well and this protest appears from where we are to spread out quite spontaneously but maybe it's not such a surprise to you know. no. spies because. k.p. in. this country. promised to have more democracy in this country since ten years he didn't. protest taxing. the people not only for. their t.v. or. through trees but also. the much searching for their rights and freedom in turkey and what about the accusation that the turkish opposition was kind of

is factions that are radicalized anti-u.s. forces including the al qaeda affiliated. which has been described as the most effective best equipped group of fighters within the syrian opposition but which the u.s. state department has labeled as a terrorist organization and this is one of the b. . challenges facing the white house how can it supply arms to some factions of the opposition that it trusts while making sure those same arms aren't supplied the more radical elements of the opposition working on behalf of al qaeda it is a very very difficult for they and i think we need to sort through who's on and who is against them found one and otherwise the united states will find on the side of that which will be running now looser has been instrumental in a number of fights against pro assad forces they're operating in several opposition held areas including in aleppo a major city and al nusra is in control of the city of where the black flag is now reportedly fly and it's impossible at this point to cleave al nusra from the mor

neighboring iraq and beginning to be seen in lebanon as the al nusra front becomes the key defacto lead faction in the opposition no amount of the so-called moderate rebels is going to work against the hundreds of thousands billions millions we don't know coming from qatar and saudi arabia the american allies in the persian gulf so the dangers are everywhere to be seen and of course the other dangers of the blowback which may be currying even now some of these militants returning to their home countries in europe and perhaps to the united states to fight their jihad on european american soil. well close look at that story's available for you on our website and also there today shame and disgrace you experts reveal the ugly truth is really on the tactics including using palestinian children as human shields and military operations online store these house. also on the

their way to the war zone and those same shipments have already sparked feuds among parents rebel factions dominated by radical islamist fighters some reports claim fighters from heightening this one front assassinate and large number of officers from the free syrian army to contribute tashan or tensing thinks it only highlights the dangers of sending more arms to the region. the rebel ranks were in a stanwell recently could make no. type of agreement between themselves and now they're actually killing each other so there is that power struggle it's been going on for months and months and presumably president obama and major powers are saying yeah we'll give it to the free syrian army well if the front murdering members of the free syrian army presumably they take some of those arms and destroy it they probably use it to disunity in the rebel ranks is reaching fever pitch the dangers are are very they're all they're all to be seen in iraq neighboring iraq and beginning to be seen in lebanon as the al nusra front becomes the key defacto lead faction in the opposition no amount of the so-cal

small arms and ammunition they're deluding themselves they think that they can cherry pick which factions of the opposition to support but somehow or other we can control the flow of weapons because we give them only to select people. many experts indicate that american politicians are kidding themselves if they think the arms flow can ever be managed and this question of how to give arms to one group but keep them out of the hands of another can likely never be answered i don't know if i've even heard a clear and unambiguous answer. the obama administration or any

iraq or even as we saw in libya what we see in syria is much more complicated there's competing factions and let's also remember that everyone including those who support the opposition acknowledge that the only truly organized disciplined and professional fighting force on the ground on the side of the rebels is the al nusra front it is the extremist elements the free syrian army and the for root brigades and some of these other elements they are secondary players at best so when we're talking about arming the so-called. talking about arming the terrorists all right. jason jump in so yes i think you presented the facts accurately is of course in iraq rebranded and most of the important syrian armed brigades are either salafist or salafi jihadi in their orientation however that's partially because we've only allowed the ca to reason the saudis to be funneling arms to death preferred groups now is our time to support. more moderate elements and to have a stake in building some of these jason can you would you describe those groups can you identify those people who can. sure i mean i don't

the second one is really the war between the different factions within the opposition. the jihadis and the extremists vis-a-vis the other ones. so the key question is which one are we trying to influence? are we trying to influence generally the rebels as it stands against assad, which has all the dangers and problems dr. brzezinksi said, who do you arm? how do you arm them what is the dangers of having to confront the iranians and the russians. and the other argument is regardless of whether assad survives and leaves, there's going to be a battle between different factions of the syrians and the question is do we want to arm a faction of the syrians that would be the counterpoint to the jihadis? if so, is this the right time to start building those relations? >> brown: is there an alternative? because if the u.s. does little or nothing and the syrian government wins-- as now the battlefield perhaps looks like it's been turned-- doesn't that affect our interest in the region and the world as well. >> well, of course it doesn't affect them positively. but we have to thin

it goes to show leading through factionalism only helps factions.ons you soothed with soaring rhetoric. you got them into bed, but you didn't perform. but if one leads all of america instead, then happiness would be like those perverbial boats in a rising tide, up. class warfare lowers all boats. one can into -- cannot be happy and envious simultaneously. wealth among americans is down 55%. meanwhile the group that obama hates, the rich, got richer. the stock market is on fire. only obama can make progressismism the party of the rich. and one other group got fat from obama's rein and that is the government. everyone else got their pockets cleaned. that's why a writer mocking a romney term is really mocking the millions of americans who lost their savings, jobs and dreams. laugh at what could have been as we pay the price for what really is. a decline that makes the malase of the 70s seem like happy days while obama and biden remind us how much we miss lenny and squigy. >> i miss them. >> they were great for awhile. they add brief show. kimberly -- >
