Yeah, I already know that both the US and UK are funding rebels in Syria. I also know that there's a specific islamofascist group within the various groups of Syrian rebels called Al Nusra who have aligned themselves with the Al queida.

I still don't know where the particular video took place or what the man is saying. Additionally, I don't need to excuse myself. I'm just trying to figure out what exactly I'm watching.

How do we know it's not something from Afganistan or Iraq let's say. The Elam newsletter is not exactly a viable news source.

The West is making a grave error of judgment and greater by far if intervention was to take place in Syria.

Law and order and democracy will never be achieved. Countries in this troublesome region have for centuries been ruled by dictators, the only feasible and workable administration. The West is poised to intervene in support of the Jihadis, not necessarily to stop bloodshed as this will continue for years to come. The enemy within is nurtured and adored by the vast majority. Let them be, let them find their own solution.

Why does that matter to you?

Additionally.... I'm just trying to figure out what exactly I'm watching.


But its quite simple. You watched fanatic Islamists murdering tow chidren in the name of God.

How do we know it's not something from Afganistan or Iraq let's say..


SO? What difference would that make?

It wouldn't make any difference to the poor children. It wouldn't make any difference to anyone actually.

It just ticks me off when different individuals and organisation, with their own personal agendas, find a video and use it to promote said agendas and goals.

At the same time, we have to remember that the Syrian rebel forces are not exclusive to Islamofascists.

Personally, I'm just waiting to see how Putin will put out the NATO countries that want to go in so badly.

I am against any intervention of the sort possibly contemplated by Obama and Cameron. It will do no good. Just like the second Bush Blair Gulf war. Did not approve of that either.

ΞΕΒΡΑΚΩΜΑ or, catching them with their pants down!

UN commissioner says evidence Syria rebels 'may have used sarin'

The Independent, 26 August 2013
LONDON, Aug 26: A United Nations inquiry into human rights abuses in Syria has found evidence that rebel forces may have used chemical weapons, its lead investigator has revealed.

Carla Del Ponte (pic), a member of the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria, said that testimony gathered from casualties and medical staff indicated that the nerve agent sarin was used by rebel fighters.

“Our investigators have been in neighbouring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated,” Ms Del Ponte said in an interview broadcast on Swiss-Italian television on Sunday.

“This was used on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities,” she added.

Very probable given the low value of life these so called rebels hold. Made of the identical caliber to those savages who indiscriminately blow themselves up everywhere and anywhere likely to cause as much death and destruction.

The West, and in particular Britain and the USA would be making a grave error in joining forces with the " rebels" who are in reality Jihadis and Al Qaeda put together. Syria was reasonably peaceful before the insurrection, a dictatorship nonetheless, but functioning as well as any ME dictatorship.
