Syrian Civil War - Why is the West jumping In NOW ???

[Reality Check]

The West ( Western Europe and the United States ) were very concerned that the anti-west, radical Sunni Islamist fighter faction in Syria might end up controlling the new government of Syria if the Syrian government forces lost. For this reason The West has avoided providing lethal military aid to all the rebel forces in Syria and has also insisted that Sunni Arab countries with advanced western weapons such as anti-tank and anti-air weapons, not transfer those to the Syrian rebels.

Now, suddenly, when the anti-west, radical Sunni Islamist fighter factions, along with the other Sunni Arab rebel factions are in danger of losing all of Syria to the Syrian government forces, The West is planning to provide some lethal weapons and ammunition to some of the Sunni Muslim factions. More importantly to the Sunni Rebels, The West is going to allow some of the Sunni Arab countries with advanced western anti-tank, and anti-air weapons to transfer some of those weapons to the Sunni Arab rebels.

Why Now ???

One ( 1 ) million Sunni Arab refugees have fled Syria and now reside in Jordan and Turkey.

Syria has over 20 Million People. Approximately half, or, 10 Million of the those Syrians are Sunni Arabs. It is estimated over 3 Million Syrian Sunni Arabs will relocate to Jordan alone, including the radical Sunni Islamist fighter faction retreating from Syria, in the event the Rebels are totally defeated.

These battle hardened, fanatically anti-Western, Islamists will be a threat to every non-Islamists government in a Sunni Arab majority country. The very countries, and the very governments, that are strong Arab Allies of The West. Tiny Jordan with only 6 Million citizens, a substantial minority of whom already want a radical Islamist government in Jordan, would be the most vulnerable to a civil war started by the refuge rebels.

Thus The West is more afraid of the anti-western Sunni Muslim fanatics being driven out of Syria, than they are of the Government of Syria losing.

The question is, are the Western countries pushing for an absolute win by the rebels, or merely trying to avoid an absolute loss by the rebels ?

Is the west really hoping for a negotiated partitioning of Syria ???

Or, a never ending war which sees the most fanatical fighters on both sides slaughtered by the thousands ???

Israel has already noted the advantages of the later:

...
Ya'alon said Syria had become an arena for conflict between old Cold War superpowers — the United States and Russia — as well as Sunnis and Shiites and between Sunni factions including the Muslim Brotherhood, Salafists and al-Qaeda elements. Ya'alon said the Assad government currently controls only about 40% of Syrian territory despite its recent success in wresting the town of Qusair from opposition hands.
...
The government of President Bashar al-Assad, backed by Iran and Hezbollah, is battling an opposition that includes Sunni jihadists who also reject Israel’s right to exist. Asked by Al-Monitor if Israel saw the situation in the same way former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger regarded the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war — commenting famously that “It was a pity that they both couldn’t lose” — Ya'alon gave a Kissingerian shrug. “Might be,” he said, smiling.
