While the Western media act like the Syrian government is wantonly and indiscriminately killing its own people without provocation, an independent investigation has found a different reality on the ground.
The Syrian security forces have seized Israeli weapons from armed groups responsible for the killing of hundreds of people across the country.
“British and Qatari special operations units are operating with rebel forces under cover in the Syrian city of Homs just 162 kilometers from Damascus, according to DEBKAfile’s exclusive military and intelligence sources,” states the report, adding that the foreign units are not engaging in direct combat but are acting in an advisory capacity, while also relaying requests for arms outside of the country.
A few days ago, Russia and China blocked the UN Security Council resolution that demanded that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should step down.
Yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the Chief of Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Mikhail Fradkov, paid a visit to Damascus in a bid to prevent outside military interference in the Syrian conflict. External forces should contribute to dialogue and reconciliation, while avoiding any instigation.
Anyway, what do actions in Syria have to do with IRAN?? Draw a connection, please.
The death of innocent Syrian citizens at the hand of their leaders is OK because any intervention is against IRAN????
Hundreds of innocent civilians have been killed in Syria in the name of WHAT? And this is Iran’s business WHY?

Yet have you ever stopped to think, “Why does America choose to step in some situations and totally ignore others?” Take for example the slaughter in Darfur, Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria and countless other nations. When real violence is taking place in these place, much worse than what is alleged to be happening in Syria, the truth is that since they don’t hold any strategic resources, such as oil, imperialist simply chose not get involved.
On the other hand, Syria is one of the few countries Russia actually has a base in the Middle East. Because of this they will utterly be against any kind of action against taking down the Syrian government.

Well this is all like a game of Risk actually
Now I'm not Pro-American or Pro-Muslim or Pro anything, but I can assure you, if the tables had turned, and the Chinese or the Russians were creating satellite countries out of the world and not the US, they wouldn't be half as as merciful.
My dad who is a very keen observer of politics said this himself: I'd rather be ruled over by Americans than the Chinese. And he's not American.

Everything probaly will be destroyed but the instigators will be safe in their bunkers and as far as they are concerned its probaly a good way to reset the clock and keep them in the drivers seat
Americans have slaughtered others, but not their own. So they seem to be a bit more merciful. Also, they have this big thing about protecting human rights and things, although that seems to be twisting over time.
We can already see exact parallels with the current PR operation to bring down Syria with how Libya went down. In one story published today, it seems that one award-winning mainstream newspaper has been caught red-handed running faux news on Syria – and incredibly, it’s not the first time this exact story has been used.

Since I have friends who are currently living in Syria, in the very city the majority of fighting is concentrated in: Homs, I know exactly whats going on.
And here it is: according to my friends, the shooting started with the government sources, but the different sects took arms against each other. In the beginning it was anyone who was against the government. They had their own front and although not completely unified they were determined to label and kill anyone who was 'pro-government'. This meant that they shot and killed innocent people who had said that they did not want fighting, and wanted the public to calm down, which is the same thing the government was saying on TV.
Then it got worse, the civilian sects between Alawis, and Sunni Muslims are trying to kill each other regardless of who and what they are. Children, women, old people etc.
The # has literally hit the fan. And although the government is trying to gain control again by bombing and scaring the crap out of its own people, they have no idea what they're doing.
No body is saying it, but this is an open civil war now. And they need to come out and say it.
