Clinton: "Zawahiri is supporting the opposition in Syria. Are we supporting al-Qaeda in Syria?"

 'Russia-US Harmony'

"... Clinton also discussed why Washington was reluctant to support the Syrian opposition with weapons, warning that such a move could end up bolstering al-Qaeda and Hamas, groups the US and many other governments consider terrorist organizations. 

“So maybe at best, you can smuggle in automatic weapons, maybe some other weapons that you could get in. To whom, where do you go? You can’t get into Homs. Where do you go? And to whom are you delivering them? We know al-Qaeda. Zawahiri is supporting the opposition in Syria. Are we supporting al-Qaeda in Syria? Hamas is now supporting the opposition. Are we supporting Hamas in Syria?”
