I supported Gadhafi stepping down thus preventing the murder of his loyalists and his enemies. Not really understanding what's happening over there though.

What I did not support was the straightforward claims that it is all a CIA plot, conspiracy, psy-op (you name it), without even the slightest of proof other than some bloggers who claim to be inside Libya and being in the know.

I do, wholeheartly, support the Syrian revolutions whether they are eventually going to be for or against my interests.

If you (or people like you) were half as kind as me in answering the other person's questions perhaps ATS was a much better place in which people actually listen to eachother. But it isn't.

You didn't ask a question, apart from that I don't like to repeat myself.
Which proves that you know nothing about Libya or Gadhafi!
There was enough mainstream media evidence for the stuff you deny.
Answer the questions in my first reply to the other user. He didn' t answer them by the way and it was me who asked first. So much for me evading other users questions and comments.
How many of the citizens of Syria are pro Assad and how many are against him?
You can leave any time, it is called freedom of choice. Apart from that I don't have to listen to proven lies and propaganda.

All that doesn't change the fact that this "opposition" was created by violent forces from outside. As I said this is a fact no matter what you say.
@IsraeliGuy
You, telling other members that they spill BS, must be joke of the month. Guys like you are responsible for more than 50.000 dead civilians in Libya, a war based on lies, which you probably supported as well

Fact No.1) The opposition was created by outside forces, namely CIA, MI6 and the MOSSAD!
Fact No.2) The opposition is led by Al Qaeda terrorists, who fought in Libya before!
Fact No.3) Those terrorists get arms from those services and they use them against the Syrian army and civilians! (just like in Libya)
Fact No.4) The League of the Arab States refutes all claims of a peaceful uprising!
Fact No.5) All news from the Syrian opposition comes from one source in the UK!
Fact No.6) Clips on Youtube show hundreds of thousands of pro Assad protesters!
Fact No.7) You are refusing to answer my questions, because you want to keep control over the conversation. It won't work with me, so don't waste your time.

Would be nice if one of you guys could actually answer questions and not dance around with propaganda BS.
You have NO CLUE how many protesters are against the Assad regime
Those protesters, led by Al Qaeda (interesting that Israel and the West work hand in hand with these terrorists now ) are trying to topple a regime using violence.
Isn't it strange that guys like you always crawl back in the holes where they came from, when it comes to protests in nations with close ties to the US and Israel. You never hear complains or calls to go to war, when it comes to Bahrain or Saudi Arabia. It is hypocrisy at its best.
As you didn't have interest in the war in Libya, which is a lie by the way, you are not capable of judging the situation in Syria, because you lack the necessary information. Therefore I assume you step back from the conversation as the only thing you are doing is spreading war propaganda.

It does appear to be more propaganda to keep Assad in power.
It doesn't matter how many supporters there're because Assad is murdering his own people.
Bad things happen when good people do nothing. That's what's going on.
If your president was killing people, you'd arm yourself too. They're not terrorists.edit on 19-2-2012 by jonnywhite because: (no reason given)

Amazing how these pathetic attempts at propaganda to support a rather nasty little dictator keep popping up even now that we have syrian army officers defecting and journalists who used to work for syrian state media admitting they lied abut the very stories portrayed here.
The Syrian state is killing its own people, torturing unarmed women and children. The russians and chinese are getting exceptionally nervous since their veto has NOT resulted in an improved situation.
Oh of course damn it, everyone who disagrees with a conspiracy is an CIA agent...........so where's my pay cheque!!!!!!!!!!
By the way the truth is out there in a very unobvious location : twitter.
so where's my pay cheque!!
The majority of Syrians do not want Assad to resign and believe that the news about the protests in the country are exaggerated, according to a YouGov/Qatar Foundation poll on Syria commissioned for the Doha Debates that was published earlier this month. Atrocities have been carried out by both the Government and some of the armed protesters. In addition, Western, North African and Arab countries are funding, arming and training the armed opposition in Syria.
Some 55% of Syrian respondents do not believe President Assad should resign, whereas it was found that it was the vast majority of respondents across the region, 81%, who want him to do so.
Of the total respondents, 46% wanted President Assad to remain in power to prevent Syria becoming another Iraq, and half of the total (50%) think that the protests [in Syria] are part of a conspiracy by the US and the West.
Almost a third, 32%, of respondents from the Levant region believe that President Assad is the best president for Syria (the figure for Syria alone is not given).
Two thirds, 64%, of total respondents believe that the protests represent the view of the majority of Syrians, whereas in Syria, 52% of respondents believe that the news about the protests are exaggerated.
According to Phillip Giraldi, writing for The American Conservative, Nato is “already clandestinely engaged in the Syrian conflict with Turkey taking the lead as US proxy” and “unmarked NATO warplanes are arriving at Turkish military bases close to Iskenderum on the Syrian border, delivering weapons from the late Muammar Gaddafi’s arsenals as well as volunteers from the Libyan Transitional Council.” In addition, French and British special forces trainers are on the ground, “assisting the Syrian rebels, while the CIA and US Spec Ops are providing communications equipment and intelligence.”
There appears little doubt that atrocities are being committed against unarmed protesters in Syria but the extent is unknown with the numbers hugely exaggerated by vested interests. No one knows the exact figure; the UN says it is 5,000 unarmed civilians, but they have not been able to corroborate the number; they have not published how many armed protesters have been killed and how many unarmed civilians have been killed by the armed militants. The Syrian Government says 2,000 security personnel have been killed.
“What we are seeing in Syria is a deliberate and calculated campaign to bring down the Assad Government so as to replace it with a regime ‘more compatible’ with US interests in the region” argues Aisling Byrne who is Projects Co-ordinator with Conflicts Forum in Beirut.
“The majority of Western mainstream media outlets, along with the media of the US’s allies in the region, particularly [Qatar owned] al-Jazeera and the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya TV channels, are effectively collaborating with the “regime change” narrative and agenda with a near-complete lack of questioning or investigation of statistics and information put out by organizations and media outlets that are either funded or owned by the US/European/Gulf alliance - the very same countries instigating the regime change project in the first place,” writes Byrne in Asia Times.
“The US and its allies, particularly Britain and France, have funded and helped “shape” the opposition from the outset - building both on attempts started by the US in 2006 to construct a unified front against the Assad government, and the perceived “success” of the Libyan Transitional National Council model,” she says.
The Muslim News received information on the attacks by armed militants on ordinary people not involved in the uprising. However, they were of a different Islamic school of thought, Shi’a (not Allawi).
According to Rashid (not his real name), the problems started about 8 months ago in Homs. “Yesterday [December 22] they kidnapped my brother’s son in Homs in Abasyia district; alhamdu lillah (with God’s help) the negotiation with the terrorists ended with his release. He’s currently in a state hospital recovering from his injuries.”
Over a hundred Shi’as have been killed in Homs. “Limbs have been amputated – there have been horrific cases where people’s arms, fingers and ears have been amputated; we have never seen anything like it.” Wives of those who were killed “were raped – the women were stripped and made to wonder the streets naked.”
Khadija (not her real name) relates what happened to her brother. “On 22 Shaban [July 23] my brother left his house in Al-Bayeda early in the morning to buy bread in the supermarket. On his way there was some sort of ambush by a group of armed men - he was shot in the head -

When is anyone going to realize that Al Qaeda's involvement in Syria is because it's 2/3 Sunni Muslim and Assad is running a Shia government? Of course Al Qaeda is going to go in and protect fellow Sunnis. Assad is cracking down the hardest on the cities with the largest Sunni populations.
