On December 3, The Independent reported that the FSA's General Salim Idris raised a FSA negotiating option for Geneva II. Under certain conditions, the FSA would join with the Syrian Arab Army after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fulfilled a hypothesized agreement to leave power. The two forces would then rid Syria of all Islamist jihadist fighters.
If the position of the FSA deteriorates any more in the days ahead, a brand new FSA move could involve joining forces with the Syrian government before the Geneva meeting. The FSA goal could be simple survival.
In that case, the end result would be a negotiating table with the Syrian government and the U.S. backed rebels on one side and the Saudi backed Islamist Front on the other. Stranger things have happened lately but not much stranger than this extrapolation.
