Then why did the GCC select him at all?
It is clear that Qatar and Saudi Arabia (dominant GCC members) are supporting the FSA with weapons.....they have chosen sides already. Why didn't they send in someone who could paint a darker picture for the war mongering west to sell to the public?
You act like it was a one man observer report. There were 160 members, and 5 voting nations that voted 4-1. Interestingly Qatar was the only nation to not approve of the Syrian observer report....which shed the Assad regime in a more positive light.
