Not sure this proves they hate the west, just that they prefer Assad to the FSA.
Quoting: Lime Flavoured Redux Possibly!
It reminds me of a line from Sharpe's Sword, one of a series of dramas based during the Peninsular war, when the Irish priest is sword fighting with the British "gentleman" Simmerson.
Simmerson: What's it to you priest? You hate the British!
Priest: John Bull's a bad neighbour, but Bonaparte's a bully, and so are you!
Interestingly, but off-topic, in the first episode, Sharpe's Rifles, is where I first heard the name Rothschild. He (Nathan) was crossing Europe with a bankers draft for Sir Arthur Wellesley, to fund the army.
Back on topic though, it could be that the CIA are deliberately bringing in a new front, in order to set the whole middle east alight! I think, given their past record, it is likely!
We know they want a third world war, in order to bring about the changes they desire.
