Does Current US Policy in Syria Help al Qaeda?

http://english.alarabiya.net/views/2013/02/18/266933.html

This is a very interesting piece in Al Arabiya. It raises the prospect that the end-game in Syria will leave an al- Qaeda affiliate with the strongest position, because the jihadists are gaining support and legitimacy of the people through their actions, (as, I would add,  happened in Afghanistan). The author questions Obama's policy, or lack thereof.

Time will tell, and we'll find out in the not so distant future.
