Fighting is continuing to escalate across Syria, as regime forces try to oust the rebels from Damascus suburbs and battles continue in the major northern city of Aleppo and the key southeastern city of Daraa. Estimates have 100 people killed today.
Rebels familiar with the situation say that Daraa has virtually fallen back to the military, and that armed rebel factions have already fled from the city and troops are nearing the center, backed by helicopters.
The army is also said to have launched a fresh offensive in Aleppo, the nation’s largest city which has been contested for weeks. Despite optimism on both sides about a quick victory, the city seems to be stalemated, with civilians stuck in the middle and industry grinding to a halt.
The rebels claimed more than half of the people killed today were civilians, but there is no way to verify this. In the past rebel allegations of large civilian tolls have not always borne out, and they have regularly counted their own casualties among the civilian dead.
Having read the Telegraph article you'd get the impression that they're a bit disappointed that people were actually cheering for the rebels demise. Imagine that.
Look, these bandits and barbarians are defeated, they are on the run, that is one of the reasons for US and EU wanting to implement all kind of illegal conditions to invade Syria, they know it so as we.
There is still a chance for diplomacy and the government of Syria have offered their last offer, saying that Assad will leave if they start talking and come to a mutual social political agreement for a democratic election in Syria. Yet it is and has been a rejected idea by what is called “Free Syrian Army” and their affiliated terrorist groups whom are supported by US – EU the Saudis and their barbarians, the Turks and the EU SOCIAL NEO LIBERAL DEMOCRATS fascist of France and England or for that matter Swedish and German Christian Democrats are the one who, thus far, have managed sidelining any peace process presented by the Syrian people, not the Syrian government but the Syrian people, this shows that these people are not nor they ever were for peace, nor they ever had the people majority support, therefore they have lost the war.
So is time for the US and EU to get their head out of the sand and look around, any steps toward invading Syria will ends up to be a catastrophe for the world, any war with Iran or Israel wanting to attack Iran will end up the sam way, they know it so are we.
Get your head out of wherever it is, you are talking about a world disaster because of bunch of stupid falsifier democrats and social democrats and Liberal fascist who wants to rule the world.
World is not belongs to you nor it was belong to your father or your king and queens, the only way for this world to exist is a social economic, a social justice functioning democracy based on and for the people, stop your stupidity before is to late.
Jason, the source of most of this information, the "rebels", are liars, with a long exposed history of lying, who have an obvious agenda. On top of everything, they are becoming more and more ridiculous with their lies as time goes on it is getting to a point beyond absurdity.
What is the point of reporting their lies? I just don't get it? Everything they will say, they've already said before. They don't provide insight on the reality of the situation…the only "reporting" they provide is to advance an agenda…not "inform" people of 'facts'.
I'm fairly sure I can predict what they'll 'report' tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that. It's all been said before, and it will most likely have little to nothing to do with reality. They'll more or less repeat the following:
…shelling…tanks…helicopter gunships… 'fixed wing' aircraft…bombing…airport…low on ammo…innocent civilians trapped…innocent civilians dead…holding ground but the shelling and bombing making it hard…need money…again, low on ammo….did I mention shelling…
Filler detail such as: locations and status of 'progress made'/'loss suffered'. All information provided will be to advance and agenda; rather than inform. The 'facts' may theoretically advance their agenda, but I seriously doubt that's ever been the case here to any meaningful degree. I'll even guess the daily death tolls 'reported' will be within the 40 – 200 range–civilians dead always being, by far, the largest % of the total, # of dead 'regime fighters' coming in a distant 2nd, and #s of "liberators" dead, if any, will round out the bottom.
The "rebels" fighting now are not 'good people'…or even 'well intended' people.. These people want nothing other than perpetual chaos and/or 'to bring it all down'.
I personally think the above video pretty much sums up the 'rebels', and what they amount to for all intents and purposes. I think it's also a good parallel for what US foreign policy has more or less become, which is:
….a tightly wrapped body lying dead on a van floor–the only thing left uncovered and recognizable is a head tilted to the side, eyes barely open, but enough so the color stares out in the direction of the men responsible. The men stand in choreographed formation displaying their weapons and smirking behind their leader who preaches into a camera and accuses another for what's lying on the van floor, shaming the world for allowing it to happen…making demands for things he does not want—as the only thing he truly desires is to do the exact same thing all over again the next day…
I hope the Syrian military steamroll these fools…
I must echo this.
it is clear these videos and news items are standard and represent standard training from somewhere in order to create a "Narrative".
The worst are videos like this of a Christian boy shot by an Islamicist sniper who was the centre of a videl blaming it on the Syrian army.
Unfortunately there was a second video by the mother.
it is not difficult to work out this has come from American intelligence sources as has the arming and equipping of the Islamicist paramilitaries themselves as part of an intelligence operation going out under Obama's sign off – the Executive order or Finding.
Yet this is never reported on antiwar sites……………
Again one of these hundreds of usless news articles of antiwar or Jason Ditz.
Why only reporting about deaths, but never about this long planned US proxy-guerrilla war, and those who are hireing, train, planning, conducting, financing and arming those mostly foreign professional killers ?
hi guys –
this is too funny:
in this article titled
Robert Fisk: ‘Rebel army? They’re a Gang of Foreigners’ http://friendsofsyria.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/ro…
I found:
“You won’t believe this,” Major Somar cried in excitement. “One of our prisoners told me: ‘I didn’t realise Palestine was as beautiful as this.’ He thought he was in Palestine to fight the Israelis!”
USA needs to take the latest scum for their secret proxy-guerrilla war in Syria.
