1. At one point they offered to lead it? Is that still on the table?
If not, why not? The people upfront need to be fellow Arabs, not westerners.

3. They'll never do that, so I suspect.
They don't want to accept responsibility. The want "the West" to blame when it doesn't work out how they want.

4. We should make that a deal breaker...they lead or nothing

The French have already recognized the opposition government, so I suspect they will end up leading the goat rope.
