"distinguishing between the FSA and al-Nusra is impossible, because they are virtually the same organization. As early as 2013, FSA commanders were defecting with their entire units to join al-Nusra. There, they still retain the FSA monicker, but it is merely for show, to give the appearance of secularism so they can maintain access to weaponry provided by the CIA and Saudi intelligence services. The reality is that the FSA is little more than a cover for the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra. …

“The fact that the FSA simply passed American-made weaponry off to al-Nusra is also unsurprising considering that the CIA’s vetting process of militias in Syria is lacklustre, consisting of little more than running traces in old databases"

Картинка была ясна даже из внимательного чтения наяривающих на FSA "свободных" СМИ. Хотя и тут товарисч уперся в одну Аль-Нусру. А ведь доблестные "умеренные оппозиционеры" неплохо вели (ИМХО и ведут) дела с теми, чье имя нельзя называть.
