Hillary Clinton today signalled that the Paris based "Syrian National Council" is to be replaced with a new coalition selected by the Obama administration.
This move has been in the works for some time. If you look at Clinton's remarks from a meeting with the SNC almost a year ago it seems that while the Obama administration considered the Syrian expatriates sufficiently pliable, what they no longer have is any control over the actual fighters.
Today in Zagreb Clinton made it plain that she expects the new umbrella group to take back the revolution from the foreign extremists who have succeeded in hijacking it.
The new leadership will be introduced at a meeting of Syrian opposition groups and their foreign sponsors to be held in Qatar next week.
