The Free Syrian Army (FSA) has reiterated today that it no longer considers itself bound by the UN-brokered ceasefire, adding that it has killed “more than 100” Syrian soldiers since the offensive began on Saturday.
The FSA issued an ultimatum last week, demanding that the UN announce that the ceasefire was over by Friday night. The UN let the deadline lapse, and the rebels began launching major attacks Saturday morning.
The FSA has been condemning the ceasefire from nearly the beginning, and insists that Bashar Assad is entirely to blame for its failure. The Western nations that have been backing the FSA have yet to comment on their decision to spurn the ceasefire.
It is unlikely they will react negatively, however, as the US and France in particular have been pressing for the international community to install the FSA as the new rulers of Syria, while condemning Russia for refusing to get on board with the new regime.
All that talks is to show the boss (Saudis – UAE – Turkey the Jordanians and others) that they, the terrorists are operational waiting for orders, but please send the check or the cash with your order, the 100 million dollars that you promised. Beside that, if these people don't have any respect for the UN and its peace plan then why Hillary Clinton and the right wing European governments such as Cameron of England, the French Social Democrats the Swedish neo Fascism and German Christians Democrats of Markel keep calling these “rebels” “democratic" movement….?
Anti-war articles would make more sense if in the news clips regarding Syria the word 'rebels' is replaced with 'the U.S.' For example "Rebels Condemn UN Ceasefire, Say They Will Ignore It" would read:
The US Condemns UN Ceasefire, Says it Will Ignore It. This makes a whole lot better sennse because that points to the one who's running this terrible show.
When the militias in the US start engaging the US army, will you call the latter 'regime soldiers'?
I already do.
It's not typical nowadays to meet someone who is consequent with his ideas, Mr. Knapp.
These terrorists will kill every last Syrian if need be, then expect the remaining wounded to thank them for their Liberation ™
I wonder if this tidbit comes from the surely unbiased, single source of the London-based "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights", and most likely from unnamed activists, while the BBC and their ilk use pictures from Iraq 2003 and captioning them as being Syrian photos.
Whatever.
these people are as much "rebels" as the people who overthrew the Libyan government were "rebels", US and british special forces.
