"the majority of opposition forces"?!?!
Al-Nusra is estimated to have, at most, 10,000 members. The Free Syrian Army clocks in at 140K. Can you point to consistencies between heart-eating and other acts perpetrated by Syrian rebels? Your argument strongly resembles swiss cheese, max.
The swiss cheese is the set of numbers you are coming up with.
According to the lat listing by BBC of three weeks ago, your " Free Syrian Army clocks in at 140K" is the 10 thousand, at best.

analysts believe there may be no more than 10,000.
Of course if you start counting al-Nustra jihadis as some saintly FSA members for the sake of justifying our new Benghazi adventure, why just stop there, might as well count the regular Syrian Army as potential FSA recruits as well. This way you fantasy of 140 thousand FSA members can be finally created....
we are getting reports every day of more and more units of the so called FSA, showing their true colors or going over to al-Nusra and proclaiming themselves full-fledged terrorists, al-Qaeda, disciples, death squads in every sense of the word.
Then what is left of your FSA defectors is still defecting to al Nusra...
