U.S. Calls for Overhaul of Syrian Opposition

HeadlineNov 01, 2012

The Obama administration is calling for a radical overhaul of the Syrian opposition, signaling a major break with the Syrian National Council. On Wednesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Syria’s opposition should become more representative of those fighting the regime of Bashar al-Assad inside Syria, not just of those opposing him from abroad. Clinton said an international gathering in Qatar next week will be used as a forum to broaden the coalition against Assad, and added that the United States has already played a heavier role than previously thought. The United States has smuggled opposition members out of Syria to attend meetings and has recommended names of people who should be included in the new proposed coalition.
