The weapons could have been stolen.
If Syria could reliably demonstrate who the "resistance" is and how they are getting weapons, they might be able to swing the tide of opinion against their regime.
I know that most in the US are totally convinced by the Western media stories.
If that trend continues, someone will find some way to continue to destroy Syria without being stopped.
What we are witnessing, apparently, as we have SO MANY times before, is an external effort to take advantage of various internal disputes and weaknesses to cause (in this case) Syria to destroy itself as a country. It is like a disease attacking a body. It is essentially external, but it feeds off of internal weaknesses.
I don't know why it isn't more clear that the powers behind this violence don't want to change the regime. They want to destroy the nation of Syria so that the people who remain will do whatever they are told to do.
Recognition of this reality is a factor in the unfortunate decision of many "rogue" governments to use authoritarian and violent methods to make it appear externally that their country is strong and united. This strategy is foolish; but it is the best many who find themselves leaders are capable of.
Leaders must understand their situations and how to handle them much better than most do now if we want to avoid the widespread suffering that is being predicted for the affluent nations, and that is already so commonplace in most other parts of the planet.
