Rebellerna gnisslar tänder
De syriska rebellerna - som hoppats på amerikanska bombningar - är besvikna och döljer inte sin vrede enligt The Guardian:
Aleppo rebels angry as diplomacy seems to let Assad off the hook
In the basement of a bombed-out police station, a group of Syrian rebels were sheltering from a fighter jet roaring through the twilight sky. But no one was watching the jet. Instead the men were transfixed by a television that blared news of the latest wrangling over whether a US attack would be launched against Bashar al-Assad. Even the sound of the aircraft's firing cannon was dismissed with a mocking cheer.
That was late last week. By early Wednesday, however, the rebels' mood had changed radically. "We should have known better than to believe them," the group's commander told the Guardian despondently.
De politiska turerna jämförs med en turkisk TV-såpa:
In al-Bab, the tension has at times been unbearable for locals who had early on coveted help from powerful backers, then given up on intervention, only to see it re-emerge as what seemed to be a real option.
"I'll need to see a doctor after all of this," said Abdullah Namoud, a local from the town. "It is worse than a Turkish TV drama, all these twists and changes."
"I've said from the beginning that this was about the Americans saving their reputation, not about helping us," said a member of the governing council. "That's politics, we know that. But our reality is that nothing will change for us. They're helping themselves, not us."

Då slipper de handskas med liknande dåd i framtiden.
