Syria Rebels Say Western Strikes 'Farce' as Long as Assad Stays
A prominent Syrian rebel faction said on Saturday that Western strikes against government positions were a "farce" as long as President Bashar al-Assad remained in power.
"Punishing the instrument of the crime while keeping the criminal -- a farce," wrote Mohammad Alloush, a key member of the Jaish al-Islam rebel group.
Jaish al-Islam was in control of the town of Douma, the site of the alleged chemical attack that prompted Western military action.
