Maj. Gen. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, commander of the army's powerful 1st Armored Division, was the most senior of the three commanders to join the opposition.

This is the exact same scenario as Libya, army defects, and ambassadors defecting to the rebel side. France demanding Ali-Abdullah Salleh must step down same as Gadaffi, before 100 cruise missiles rained down on him.
But Ali-abdullah is a staunch friend of the USA.
Will the USA intervene to bomb the rebels instead?
