New York Times (alias « Abou Mahmoud ») : il ne sera possible de recruter des combattants valeureux contre ISIS qu’après avoir éliminé le régime syrien,

Abu Mahmoud, another insurgent commander, said in April that he had decided not to join the Pentagon program. He said he would happily fight ISIS after stopping Mr. Assad’s forces from bombarding insurgent areas. Reached in Idlib province on Thursday, he said Mr. Hassan’s abduction had been predictable.
“I’m not blaming the Americans only, for choosing the wrong people and putting them in the wrong position,” said Abu Mahmoud, who uses a nom de guerre for safety. “I also blame these commanders.”
He added: “Those people can’t even protect themselves — how can they operate inside Syria against the Islamic groups? How can you drive your car to a place where you know that you don’t have enough fuel?”
