Puzzlingly, US Secretary of State John Kerry, justifying plans to provide the FSA’s Supreme Military Council with additional assistance, has cited the danger of “letting this country, the heart of the Middle East … [become] hijacked by extremists.” But to oppose extremism and support the FSA is a blatant contradiction.
奇怪的是，美国国务卿克里在证明向FSA最高军事委会追加援助的计划的合理性时，提到了“让这个位于中东心脏地带的国家……被极端主义挟持”的危险。但反对极端主义和支持FSA是极其矛盾的。就连美国司法部也直接了当地宣称大部分FSA与基地组织的思想一脉相承。
