The Guardianrecently reported that Jordan is accepting Saudi money to supply arms directly to Syrian rebels. Western proponents of such aid, such as Kerry and UK Foreign Minister William Hague, must recognize that these supply channels do not discriminate between opposition groups.
在这样的环境下，西方的观点——可以向反对派的部分成员提供帮助——是荒谬的，“非致命”援助的概念——比如夜视仪、医疗设备、盔甲——亦然，因为常规“致命”援助已经大量从波斯湾国家涌入。《卫报》最近报道说约旦接受了沙特的资金直接向叙利亚叛军提供军火。这些支持的西方支持者，比如克里和英国外相黑格，必须认识到这种供应渠道无法区分不同的反对派集团。
