Less than 24 hours after the Free Syrian Army (FSA) was claiming to be holding the Syrian military back from a “massacre” in the Baba Amro neighborhood of Homs, leaders of the group are now saying that they are withdrawing from the city entirely.
Though rebels say this is only a “tactical retreat,” it seems a significant gain for the Assad regime, as parts of Homs have been contested for months and it has been the site of some of the fiercest battles in the still relatively young civil war.
If calm returns to Homs it could also be a major diplomatic victory for the regime, as the close proximity of anti-Assad protesters and battles has led the rebels to claim enormous civilian death tolls and sparked international outcry.
Where this leaves the rebels is unclear, though they still enjoy considerable international support and have promised to escalate attacks across the nation, saying they will strike everywhere from Daraa (along the southern border with Jordan) to Idlib (near Turkey in the far north).
Don't worry they will be back. Get this the Libyan government has decided to give $100 million in humanitarian aid, including food and medicine to Syria's opposition civilians and activist rebel forces. Bel Haj and Al CIAada have managed to extract $100m from the international banks for this operation when Libya has 60% drop in GDP and no electricity or running water. But somehow the international banks have found the money for a destitute lawlaess society to give $100m to a foreign adventure.
In addition, Syria's opposition forces have received permission to open an office in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, a government spokesman said Wednesday. It is so transparent even an idiot would have problems debating the issues.
The White House said Tuesday that al-Qaida's efforts to take advantage of violence in Syria meant now is not the time to send arms to rebels in Syria, days after Saudi Arabia and Qatar appeared in favor of arming the rebels in the face of a deadly crackdown by regime forces. So instead we are going to get an enitirely devastated country without access to international funds, because they are still locked by the banks to release a $100 m, to fund the CIA insurgency. Of course Libya is a totally independent sovereign country and the bankers who have problems releasing money for electricity or running water have no problems releasing blocked funds for a war in Syria an adventure without profit to the Libyian people.
Just in case you don’t get what Antiwar and Clinton are talking about here’s America’s new Libyan democracy putting a bunch of n-ggers behind bars and getting them to eat the Libyan flag. Kind of makes you nostalgic for the Klu Klux Klan doesn’t it. Bet you all can’t wait to do it in Damascus. Ol Glasser can’t see no foreign hands in Syria and can’t see no Klu Klux Klan in Libya which somehow can afford $100 m to create war in Syria. Just good ole boys all of them.
