SO... IS IT TRUE??? I SAY YES!!!  SYRIA IS A LIBYA ON STEROIDS!

It's not a new argument the Syrian Opposition would want sound the alarm on Islamic radicals growing in power as the Civil War goes on in Syria.

Some argue this is just the Opposition trying to gain legitimacy with the rest of the world as they prove they are the only ones the world should "deal" with.

Here is the problem with that worn out concept.

It's true!

It's true they now recognized opposition  is the only group even close to working with in Syria and that is exactly what has happened in the past two weeks.

It's also true the Islamic groups are growing by the day not only in capabilities, but in acceptance by the general population and that perhaps the most dangerous issue of all.

Jabhat al-Nusra has no intention of solving the Syrian crisis in a manner that is conducive to the West or the UN.

If you think the Islamic radicals filled their weapons stashes after the fall of Libya, so much so they have moved out in three different directions now in Africa, then as the old saying goes........."you ain't seen nothing yet"!!

Today, the rumors of just how close Assad is from collapse continued to grow and Jabhat al-Nusra is one of the primary reasons and they know it.

For months now some, like me, have asked, " what happens if Assad leaves or falls overnight"?

Just the other day I posted on the topic of the commonality of rapid collapse.

The topic of Assad and his WMDs filled the airwaves and the rooms  of many important meeting halls today, but the simple truth is; does anyone really have a plan for all of Syria if the collapse happens?

On paper, I would have to say yes, it's what many agencies do.... "plan".

The question becomes... will the "plan" work?

Assad is near the end and that is when an animal is most dangerous.

What happens next in Syria is hard to predict, but I would be willing to bet whatever the event is, Jabhat al-Nusra will demand a say in the outcome.

Yep... What a mess!!!!
