It's hard to see the point of any negotiations. Some of the opposition groups in the umbrella organization are fighting between themselves as much as they are fighting President Assad. And the Kurds - the most effective and organized fighting force among the rebels - hasn't even been invited to the peace talks.
The Russians are insisting that President Assad remain in power through any transitional period while the HNC says he's got to go. The US, with limited influence, can't seem to make up their mind on that point, with Secretary of State Kerry saying it's something to be negotiated.
