#3 Actually sounds like disinformation to me. First of all, field commanders who are indifferent to their cannon fodder *never* refuse more hot bodies. If nothing else, they can tell them to take to the streets and fend for themselves. Second of all, while there is a suggestion that they want more "material support", such people are always starved for money and constantly scream about sending more. In a hostile country they have to pay a premium for everything, and payment has to be both up front and with a good currency, or gold. Lastly, calling for "high military and jihadist expertise", is calling for them to send their best and brightest into the death trap. Killing a "brain man" is 100 times better than killing some enthusiastic dumbass. And by depleting other countries' supplies of brain men in Iraq just helps preclude having to do it in other countries.

#6 It strikes me that Bashir Assad could have solved a lot of his problems by converting to the Sunni denomination. Of course, the Alawite security structure supporting him would probably have promptly killed him and stood somebody else in his place.
