I just watched a video of a commander of a Syrian rebel brigade cutting out the heart and liver of a Syrian soldier and taking a bite out of the heart. This is who Obama wants to support? This will make the US the same as the savages these rebels are. There are no good guys in Syria. Best is to let these people kill and eat each other. May the strongest survive. As we watch this death match on the sidelines. Google 'Syrian rebel eats heart' for your viewing pleasure of the rebel savages Obama wants to aid. 2 Likes |

Interesting Obama uses WW2 as an analogy to bomb Syria. As I am still not convinced the Syrian Govt is the one who gassed the civilians I too would like to share some WW2 facts.In Aug 1939, Nazi troops disguised as Polish soldiers attacked a German radio station in Gleiwitz. The Germans then used it as an excuse to attack Poland.Oct 1931, a Japanese Agent detonates a bomb on a Japanese owned RR near Mukden. The Japanese use this as an excuse to attack Manchuria. Dont foget in 1964 Mobutu massacred the Belgians in Kisangani(lied to the Americans/Belgians it was the rebels) fearing being over run by the Simba rebels,Operation Dragon Rouge was launched by the United States, Belgium, and the Congolese Army to route the rebels.Is this another false pretense to war? We all remember Iraq right?Plus they said rockets were used for the attack, cnt chemicals be place in mortars, IEDs, and canisters? Something Kerry left out. Al Nusra was caught with sarin in turkey on may 30th, and the rebels are losing. Ironic the attack happened the same day UN inspectors arrived in Damascus.. 1 Like |

TOKUGAWA: guy ur totally wrong. Aljazeera n cnn are total pro-western media outfit. This is simple reasoning.When assad forces kills a rebel cnn n aljazeera starts shouting n reporting a massacre, but when rebels kills government soldiers we don't hear anything. Why? All the reports on cnn is only to get public sympathy. Pro rebel Al qaeda fighters recently slaughtered women n kids in d kurdish region close to Iraqi border,non of d media services aired it. What you will hear is unconfirmed reports,activist report.The number of dead govt forces is over 30k. Assad will never back down.Russia have a defence pact with syria dating 4 decades.infact it has a naval base in syria.Syria is not Libya mind you.Assad has already supplied Hezbollah with thousands of rockets to be fired into israel in case of any attack . If you really need reliable n unbiased reports on the crisis in syria please use reuters.com nt cnn or aljazeera. For how many years has this war lasted and when will it end? The answer is still unknown. Assad is never ready to step down upon all the warning. If the world keep quite and l tell you. Assad and the rebels will turn the great Syria into dust. Thousands of lives has been wasted already and the world keep quite because of one man. For crying out loud how can one man turn an ancient country into shit, that took thousands of years to build. |

Youngzedd:what makes you think Assad is the problem of Syria? The West is. France has an unfinished business in Syria beign a former french colony.The Americans wants him out by sponsoring the rebels against his rule. Look at Libya after Gadaffi?Iraq after Sadam nko? Did they intervene when protesters where been slaughtered in Bahrain n Yemen? Why have they all of a sudden love Syrians so much.Syria has the capabilities of hurting the west interest bigtime in the middle east.Even the Americans don't support this conflict.If America has its own problems .The same rebels are coming to hurt the US in the long run. The US would be greatly humilliated you'll see. Syria has not even used 1/3 of its arms. 2 Likes |

Truckpusher: If US(Obama) attacks Syria ,Russia will arm Syria, provoke Georgia and attack them and the US won't let them get away with that cheap blackmail,Iran will use their Hezbollah proxy fighters to launch dozens of rockets into Israel ,Israel will retaliate with brutal maximum force and the entire region will go up in flames we can only pray that North Korea shouldn't attack South Korea because China would be completely drawn in then comes the US again , Japan and their allies to stampede China , then only God knows what follows next.

When i heard the news that Syria Government using chemical weapon on its people killing thousand i felt so bad and i could helped myself but shed tears for the deceased especially the little children.Oh what a gruesome view ! terrible world with dangerous people killing innocent people including children.oh God dey !    Well, weeks later i learnt in the news that America will invade Syria for using chemical weapon on their people.I got myself thinking and trying to know why USA always want to go to war.so i decided to do some research and came across a terrible video leak that everyone should look into. I am not anti-america or anti-western, I just want you all to see the video, watch it unbiased mind and conclude your mind... Published on Aug 27, 2013 On August 21st, 2013 chemical weapons were used the Syrian conflict yet again. Western powers, the U.S. and France in particular enthusiastically didn't hesitate for even a moment to take advantage of the tragedy, decrying it as a crime against humanity and using it as a springboard to announce their preparations for military strikes against the Syrian government. Make no mistake this was a crime against humanity... but the gas was NOT used by the Syrian government, it was used by the NATO backed rebels. In this video we're going to show you definitive evidence to support this claim and we're going explain the U.S. and NATO's motive for committing such an atrocity. The leaked documents that we are going to be presenting are available for you to download yourself. You'll find a in a link in the description to that download and you'll also find links to the mainstream articles we used in our research.

The Americans themselves started and fueled this crisis. Search for General Wesley Clark 7 countries video (back in 2007). Search for Seymour Hersh's The Re-Direction article in the New Yorker (also in 2007) They have been secretly supplying these foreign jihadis with arms and training them for several months now. This is well documented and has been reported even in several western media. The Saudis have been funding the effort also. The only reason things have escalated and the US is now intervening under the pretext of "humanitarian concerns" is because the campaign of these "rebels" is faltering. In recent months the government forces have been scoring victories over the so called rebels. Remember Al-Qusayr? The Saudi intelligence chief in a last ditch effort to get the Russians to drop their support of the Assad government offered a piece of the cake after the "regime" is toppled. He also offered to buy Russian arms and has been widely rumored, promised that Chechen terrorists in the Russian Caucasus will not attack the winter Olympics in Sochi if only the Russians drop their support of Assad! (See the telegraph: Saudis offer Russia secret oil deal if it drops Syria and RT's Saudi Arabia dangles lucrative arms deal in front of Russia in exchange for dropping Assad ) See also how the language has gradually shifted from "punishing the regime" or "degrading their capabilities" to "securing chemical stockpiles" should the government fall...It is just so sad and troubling the lengths that the Israelis and Americans would go to subvert and destabilize sovereign countries just for their selfish interests, hegemony and control..The same Al-Qaeda the US is claiming to be fighting a war on terrorism against are the recipients of arms, logistically assistance and funds from the Saudis, Qataris and Americans. What a charade! What wickedness! What deceit! What evil! Just watch out: As soon as Syria is out of the way, Iran is next... The Saudis would have assured themselves of Sunni dominance and influence and the continued existence of the House of Saud. The oil would also flow unopposed through a splintered Syria all the way to the European market. The Israels would rest in the knowledge that all potential challengers to their illegal - and expanding- occupation would be splintered nations weakened by internal and secular strife and would be powerless to act against them. Now, the United States acting like the bully and rogue country that it truly is, is reversing the right to attack another sovereign; country that hasn't threatened it based on sketchy and unconfirmed evidence. So-called evidence that it has blatantly refused to present to the world to see. Acting with total disregard for the United Nations or international law, only invoking these laws when it suits them. A country that has subverted or attempted to subvert legitimate, democratic governments - or otherwise- more than all other countries combined (School of the Americas, Operation Condor, 1953 Iranian Coup D'etat, Iran-Contra Affair, Bay of Pigs Invasion, 1954 Guatamela Coup, 2002 Venezuelan Coup D'tat, etc). A country that has assassinated several presidents and leaders way more than other countries combined of which some operations would never be known (President of Ecuador Aguilera in 1981, president Omar Torrijos of Panama also in 1981, etc). A country that invades and destroys countries based on false, discredited and fabricated evidence as witnessed in Iraq (the independent: Man whose WMD lies led to 100,000 deaths confesses all: Defector tells how US officials 'sexed up' his fictions to make the case for 2003 invasion), Vietnam (Gulf Of Tonkin Incident, etc). A country that parades itself a bastion of freedom and democracy and a protector of human rights but abuses human rights and commits war crimes more than any other and supports despotic, brutal governments and sponsors terrorism when needed as long as its interests are protected (Luis_Posada_Carriles, U.S._Army_and_CIA_interrogation_manuals, Fulgencio_Batista, Tuskegee_syphilis_experiment, Agent_Orange, Fallujah- White Phosphorus and Depleted Unranium, Guatemala_syphilis_experiment,Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan, My_Lai_Massacre, Abu Ghraib, delisting the MEK, etc) People really need to get off the toxic propaganda peddled by the mainstream media and source their news from other sites such as landddestroyer., the corbett report, consortiumnews, storyleak, counterpunch, rt, infowars. tomdispatch, etc. That is the only way you gonna have a balanced and complete view of any issue. CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera(Qatari) are all propaganda tools pushing the agenda of their respective goverment. WAKE UP!! 3 Likes |

Our beloved "rebels"  have been busy:[size=24pt]Stripped, bound and shot in the head: Horrifying fate of Assad’s soldiers executed on camera by Syrian rebels[/size] Video smuggled out of Syria by former rebel horrified by brutality of attack Abdul Samad Issa reads passage and says 'we will take revenge' Issa, known as 'the uncle', fires first bullet at prisoner's head Bodies are dumped in a well while one gunman smiles at camera By Tara Brady PUBLISHED: 19:02 GMT, 5 September 2013 | UPDATED: 22:00 GMT, 5 September 2013 947 shares 320 View comments Video footage has emerged which shows the moment seven of President Bashar al-Assad's Syrian soldiers are executed on camera by rebels fighting to overthrow the regime. The soldiers are stripped, bound and pushed to the ground where a number of rebels stand over them pointing guns at their bodies. Some bear vicious injuries on their backs and arms. Just before they are killed, the ring-leader Abdul Samad Issa - known as 'The Uncle', recites a poem before he fires the first bullet. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Horrific: The soldiers are stripped, bound and pushed to the ground where a number of rebels stand over them pointing guns at their bodies before they are shot  Horrific: The soldiers are stripped, bound and pushed to the ground where a number of rebels stand over them pointing guns at their bodies before they are shot 'For fifty years, they are companions to corruption', he says. 'We swear to the Lord of the Throne, that this is our oath: We will take revenge.' The horrific scene filmed in April was documented in a video smuggled out of Syria only a few days ago by a former rebel who says he had become horrified by the brutality of the tactics his one-time comrades are using. He gave the footage to The New York Times. It has emerged as G20 leaders meet in Russia to debate the dire situation in the war-torn country and will add fuel to the view that the rest of the world cannot actively support rebels who are carrying out atrocities equally as brutal as the troops deployed by President Assad. Issa is known as 'the uncle' because two of his deputies are his nephews. His former aide, who had the copy of the footage, said the captured soldiers' allegedly had videos of them raping Syrian civilians and looting which led to the execution. Issa requested the execution be filmed so he could show it to donors to help secure more funding. At the end of the footage, the bodies of the soldiers are dumped in a well while one of the gunmen  Brutal: The bodies of the soldiers are dumped in a well after they are shot dead by the rebels It is believed Issa has the support of around 300 fighters willing to carry out the executions of captured soldiers. The 37-year-old, a trader and livestock herder before the war, formed the group at the start of the uprising using his own money to buy weapons and pay for his own soldiers' expenses. His father was opposed to President Hafez al-Assad, the father of Syria’s current president, but in 1982, he disappeared. Issa believes he was killed during a 27-day government crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood which sparked his hatred of the government. The video has emerged as G20 leaders meet in Russia to debate the situation in Syria The video has emerged as G20 leaders meet in Russia to debate the situation in Syria Last year, it is believed he was running a training camp in Turkey and gathering weapons, according to the New York Times. The footage will no doubt cause problems for the U.S. which is considering attacking Syrian forces over its alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians. Yesterday, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke of the issue of radicalised rebels which he said made up 15 to 20 per cent of the opposition. Most of the concerns are centred around two groups which are known to have ties with Al Qaeda - the Nusra Front and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.  Earlier this year another sickening video showed a rebel leader eating the heart of a captured soldier Earlier this year another sickening video showed a rebel leader eating the heart of a captured soldier The clip seems to show a man, believed to be the well-known founder of Homs' Farouq Brigade Abu Sakkar, standing over the uniformed corpse in a ditch while ranting against President Bashar al Assad. Using a knife, the man hacked open the torso and removed two organs before holding them up to the camera and declaring: 'I swear to God we will eat your hearts and your livers, you soldiers of Bashar the dog.' He then raised one to his mouth and took a bite. |
