"Al Qaeda has led the charge throughout most of the offensives in recent years in Syria"

The title of this post is a quote from Long War Journal's Tom Joscelyn during his talk with John Batchelor Monday night about the offensive that Nusra Front (al Qaeda in Syria) opened in Aleppo on April 1.  

That part of the discussion is from the 11:10 to 16:48 mark on the podcast, and it's damning. The government of the United States of America has been supporting al Qaeda in Syria through the back door, under the pretense it hasn't been able to prevent the 'moderate opposition' it arms and trains from hooking up with Qaeda. What Tom and John have to say during those few moments indicates the truth.
