to the AQ/Salafi/MB factions of the rebels, not because they'd like to see Assad gone, necessarily, but as a means to an end, to keep their status quo going as long as they can, and not only that, but also, possibly as an attempt to try to screw over the Obama administration as well; remember, they also tried to turn Benghazi into a big "scandal", and it didn't stick.....so now they're likely cooking up another scenario......seems legit to me, at least(and probably is to an extent).
