United States and Al Qaeda on the Same Side in Syria

As incredibly crazy as it must seem, Robert Dreyfuss reports that that the United States and Al Qaeda are actualy on the same side in Syria!
Mr. Dreyfus writes in February 14, 2012, issue of The Nation, "It’s worth noting that the United States and Al Qaeda are on the same side in Syria."
Dreyfus continues, "That’s not to deny that the government of Syria is conducting a brutal, no-holds-barred attack against a nationwide rebellion that is, increasingly, led by armed paramilitary forces and, well, terrorists...
"Al Qaeda’s Ayman Zawahiri...explicitly endorsed the anti-Assad rebellion this week, following the bomb explosions in Damascus and Aleppo that US officials blamed on Al Qaeda."
Dreyfus quotes Zawahiri, "If we want freedom, we must be liberated from this [Assad] regime. If we want justice, we must retaliate against this regime."
Dreyfus concludes, "On the right and among neoconservatives, there are calls for the United States to intervene directly in Syria, by imposing a no-fly zone, by arming and training the rebels...and even by adopting a Libya-style campaign of bombs, drones and missiles against Assad."

Comment: Who would ever think that the American neo-cons would be on the same side as Al Qaeda?
Well, as Charles Dudley Warner famously said, "politics makes strange bedfellows..."
