Well perhaps there is another game being played, no way to know but let's look at a list of facts. (Some maybe not correct)
Assad is attempting to maintain a secular country according to him and Putin. About one third of the Syrian people are Eastern Orthodox Christian while the majority are Shite Muslim
At least part of the Rebels are Sunni Muslim.
The Sunni world is headed in Riyadh under the Saudis
The Shite world is headed in Iran under the Ayatollahs
Barrack Obama's Muslim education occurred in Indonesia, a mostly Sunni Muslim country.

Barrack Obama on his tour of the World when he first became President, bowed deeply to the
Saudi King. (All though he denied doing so to the American people)
Al Qaeda is Sunni, there are part of the Rebels fighting in Syria. 17 of the 21 attacker on 9/11
were from Saudi Arabia as was Ben Laden. (I guess he became expendable)
Russia's Muslim populations are mostly Shite, the Russian's do not want to see Sunnis expand and take the fight to their territory.
Now where do Barrack Obama's loyalties lie?
Zero of the Al Qaeda (Sunni) terrorists that attacked Benghazi have been captured even though several have been interviewed on TV
What exactly is American interest in Syria? None it seems to me. Why does the President see interests in Syria?
Iran some say is backing Syria! So what? Why does that matter now? Iran is Shite and so is Syria (except for the Christians) and has been for a very long time
Assad is a Dictator! So what? he won't be the last in the world. So why do you care Mr. President?
Mr. President, is your beautiful Holy Quran Sunni or Shite? Mr. President, Assad has been protecting the Christians, the rebels have been killing them. What are you doing Sir?
