"May God
help us because it is impossible to defeat this regime," said Abu Ammar.
"They have chemical weapons they will possibly use. They have tanks,
planes, mortars, rockets and we have nothing."
He pleaded: "We want them to give us weapons to defend ourselves or to intervene militarily. We are angry. The Syrian people still like the European countries, but if it continues like this, you end up hating them."

To be frank, FSA frustration is fair, what
do you expect every single day massive atrocity, enough, is enough, be tested FSA, they are genuinely cares
about their people, massive atrocity on the ground, immensely emotional about their people fleeting and stateless, just log into
one of their Facebook page there is full of, you can see feel their despair
hopes and dream of free Syria and their people
comes home. Moral is high, you do not demoralized them by delay something that they are so deserve and respect they earned. FSA I think
least majority of them are defection, so
they know how to fight, West et al should arm them properly, instead focus on
refugees, make FSA win this war fast as you can then you are not worry about the refugees. Focus on prevention instead cure.
