How is that a "cock-up" for anyone but the Syrians? No outside party caused this and no outside party ever had a reasonable opportunity to prevent it, so how does it become a "diplomatic/proxy military cock-up"? What did you expect anyone to do about it?
Everybody's incompetent, everything is a "cock-up", but no hint whatsoever of what you think should have been done. Priceless.
