If the "rebels" did ever manage to displace Assad, Syria would end up like Libya is now. A hot bed of violence between rival Islamic Extremist terrorist groups and a failed State.
The various Islamic Extremist terrorist groups are already murdering each other in Syria as they fight for scraps on what is increasingly the losing side.

What will these people do with the anti aircraft missiles (MANPADS) that Obama is thinking of giving them?
http://www.juancole.com/2014/04/administration-aircraft-missiles.html Apparently some of them have already got US manufactured wire guided (TOW) anti tank missiles.
http://www.reddit.com/r/syriancivilwar/comments/22xg0q/new_video_of_usmade_bgm71_tow_antitank_missile/The chemical weapon attack in Damascus August 2013, which provided the previous excuse for escalating America's involvement in the Syrian civil war, was undoubtedly a false flag attack by the Syrian "rebels" and was not carried out by Assad. This has been confirmed by the report from the UN Weapons Inspection team and the US government's own intel.
Barack Obama pulls a George W. Bush: Lies, misinformation and chemical weapons
http://www.salon.com/2014/04/10/barack_obama_pulls_a_george_w_bush_lies_misinformation_and_chemical_weapons/ Needless to say Saudi Arabian, Qatari and Neocon interests in the Syrian war have nothing whatsoever to do with any humanitarian concerns.
They are about building a gas pipeline from Qatar, through Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey to Europe.
And they are about stopping a gas pipeline being built from Iran to Syria.
Syria is also on the Neocon path to Tehran.
Syria is merely the continuation of PNAC, the Neocon agenda published in 1997, which called for regime change by force in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon and Iran. (Afghanistan, Sudan & Somalia were also included.)
The Iran Iraq Syria gas pipeline and the Syrian conflictThis pipeline will run from Iran's South Pars gas field which is the largest in the world and exit on the coast of Syria or Lebanon. The deal for this was signed on 25th July 2013 between Iran, Iraq and Syria.
This deal is absolutely against the interests of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Israel.
It is absolutely in the interests of Europe, Japan, ordinary Americans and the world in general, but not in the interests of those who control the American government.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are hoping to build their own gas pipeline through Syria and Turkey to Europe. Turkey because of the above plus the existing Ceyhan pipeline from the Caucasus (the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan pipeline built by BP). Israel because of the large gas field found off shore in 2010, which they are naturally hoping to market to Europe.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar appear to be falling out with each other, as they support rival Islamic Extremist terrorist groups in Egypt and Libya and the prospects for building their proposed joint gas pipeline through Syria fall apart.
Saudi Arabia has recently demanded that Qatar shut down Al-Jazeera in the Gulf.
Several Al-Jazeera journalists are currently being held in detention in Egypt. Just another political pressure point to add to the mix.
This deal between Iran, Iraq and Syria explains much of the Syrian conflict and the signing of the Iranian gas pipeline deal, explains much of the war escalation and urgency in August and September 2013. The American military machine was attempted to be co-opted to ensure that the deal does not go ahead. Either with Assad being toppled and replaced with an Islamic Extremist government that Saudi Arabia thinks it can control or Syria is divided into a number of small less powerful states with on-going sectarian and religious wars.
