American & British Likudniks: 'Free Syrian Army's visit to Washington was 'Not impressive!'

"... The 30 or so commanders led by Air Force Col. Riyad  al-Asaad, who control the Free Syrian Army from their  safe haven in Antakya, Turkey, have thus far declined  formal partnership with other opposition groups and  have even formed their own rival political apparatus,  the FSA Military Council, which seeks to topple the  regime, provide cover for civilian protestors, protect  public and private property and safeguard against  reprisal actions once the regime has fallen. The  Military Council has also announced its intention to  liaise directly with foreign governments in order to  build support and (most likely) secure direct financial  or material assistance. FSA representatives recently  travelled to Washington, D.C., to lobby the U.S. State  Department for support, but were rebuffed due to  their lack of organization and insufficient numbers..."

Which number is insufficient: the 20,000 they claim, or the 200 they actually have?
