    Have you ever wondered where the rebels got those nice new weapons from, and how they can finance the logistics required to fend off the Syrian military. This has been going on for over two years but no mention of that in the media.

    Meanwhile, China and Russia are made out to be the evil ones because they are supporting Assad to help defend his country.

    Here's a news report dated way back in June 2012 when is was fashionable to talk about it.

    "(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia and Qatar are paying salaries to rebel forces fighting in the Syrian revolt against President Bashar al-Assad, an Arab diplomat said on Saturday."

    "The payment has been going on for months and the agreement was made on April 2 by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with logistical organization from Turkey where some Free Syrian Army factions are based," said the source, who requested anonymity."

    "U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said her government was supplying "communications equipment that will help activists organize, evade attacks by the regime and connect to the outside world" and was "discussing with other nations how best to expand this support".
