The Syrian opposition narrative

I returned home from the Balkans yesterday and today is commencement at SAIS, which means I’ll be spending a good part of the working hours dressed up in Princeton’s imitation of medieval academic garb and unable to tweet or blog. So here is a video the Syrian Coalition (Etilaf) sent this morning, with its narrative of the conflict with Bashar al Assad. I do not agree with every word of this, and it certainly leaves out some relevant developments, but narratives are important and it merits attention.

I would be interested in learning if the Assad regime has put out a comparable narrative from its perspective.
