The Libyan war showed that weapons alone did not help the rebels, but the training they got and their growing experience in how to coordinate groups of fighters on the ground and actually act in battle like a coordinated force, instead of many single small teams doing what they want and ignoring the others, and lacking the discipline to coordinate with others. When they had learned that, they suddenly became much more potent as a fighting force, even with those improvised weapons of theirs.

Modern Western or Russian weapons, no matter whether simple assault rifles or missiles of any type, should be taboo. Iran and Islamic terror groups will make sure they get their share of such deliveries. Guess whom they will point them at next.

What they could get, if one really thinks it is no idiotic idea at all to get involved in Syria, is old Russian weapons from the black market.

If one thinks that is no idiotic idea. I personally think we should not get involved, and should enforce an embargo that hinders Russia, China and Iran to send in military supplies, as far as that is possible without starting to blow up Russian freighters or transports, which maybe would be no good idea. And to stumble into world war iii over a dark place like Syria is not worth it, I think. It's enough to occasionally blow up their latest nuclear weapon program component, like the Israelis did. Which leaves one wondering why one has not started to do that 15 years ago with regard to Iran. Would have saved us from many troubles we have today with Iran - and more to come.

What's more, the Turkish messiah-emperor Erdoghan I. uses the conflict to boost Turkish dominance and profile in the region. I see no need to assist him in that. Or give him the opportunity to hijack and abuse NATO for his intentions.
