Is CMD losing the plot?

His commons statement on Monday was confused to say the least.

By backing the "rebels" he's siding with AQ.

This is a Sunni Vs Shiaa fight, have they ever stopped fighting in 1300 years?????

Is Assad as bad as he's made out to be?

Assad is Iran's best ally in the region, ergo any negotiated peace would need to have Iran's backing.

This is not about democracy, the Saudi's back the "rebels" and the last time I looked Saudi Arabia was hardly a shining light of democracy.

It could be a pre-cursor for a conflict with Iran, but the pesky Ruskies have outmonoeuvred everyone by supporting Assad - my goodness, how this could so easily escalate.

CMD is heading towards Blair like rationality prior to 2003
