Capping a week-long round of reports about increased activity training Syrian rebels in Jordan, the Free Syrian Army (FSA) has captured a major army garrison in southeastern Syria, along the Jordan border.
Syrian rebel sources say “dozens” of people were killed in the capture of the Um al-Mayathen garrison, the center of Syrian Army defenses in the Daraa Province charged with controlling the border area.
Jordan’s Information Minister commented earlier on the matter, saying that they are making sure the US is only training “secular” rebels in their country, adding “Jordan can’t sit idle and watch al-Qaeda and other militants seizing control of its common border.”
Backing the secular portion of the rebellion as a counter to al-Qaeda is a strategy a lot of regional officials have backed, but with the al-Qaeda-backed portions doing much of the heavy lifting across Syria, they seem to be either propping up secular auxiliaries for them or setting the stage for yet another religious civil war if and when the current one ends.
This is a idiots words thinking that people will believe in what they are saying.., "this is secular rebels in their country.., Jordan cant seat idle and watch al-Qaeda and other militant seizing of its common borders" Look: both groups are killing Syrian people destroying the country and Jordanian king or the government is helping out no matter which side they are training.., the fact is that either groups are trained by the CIA in Jordan and in turkey where the Turkish government is helping out.., so what is the good part of the problem caused by the USA and EU for Syrian people to suffer.., what the Syrian people or the Syrian government have don to Jordanians or the Turkish government that they need to become the lapdogs of USA and EU wanting to destroy a country that wants to remain independent and not obey the rules of the Saudis barbarian regimes or for that matter the Qatari kingdoms.
Seems this is the only thing FSA has going on? taking a border post that is protected partially by Israeli and Jordanian airspace. dosens of people killed says very little about anything. What about military bases around the country and not only the abandoned 49th battalion base in the south? all i got about the progress of the rebels is this report from the news agancies. do they mean this base:
in that case it seems that the base was abandoned years ago. Its not hard to overrun an abandoned base.
Did someone said Al-Qaeda.? I thought that was the terroist group the US had on the run.
So what happened to all those rhetorical lies about only providing "humanitarian" and logistical aid when in fact they're deep into actively providing arms and training in their use? Lies, more lies, and whatever else spills out of Obamas mouth. Oh well… there's always another round of golf or some waves in Hawaii to catch.
That is the only thing that these Saudi-inspired barbarians can do. Pick some isolated spot, and kill everything that moves. They also place cars loaded with explosives at gas stations, universities, busy bus stations, kill shopkeepers, teachers, postmen, garbage collectors. In Houla, hundreds were massacred overnight, including litte babies. Teaching their kids how to cut off heads. Some religious people.
These rabbid creatures need to be found and turned over to scientist to figure out what creates such insanity. But, we seem to be hell bent on glorifying their achievements. Neve mind that we have already invested into five different versions of their "government", that FSA really does not exist, other then a collection of different groups — and as we speak they are fighing each other. Our hand-picked "president" has resigned, but we won't let him, fifteen people of their "coalition" just walked out, whle crimes over populaton continue. God help us, for we know not what we are doing.
The secular rebels is an oxymoron . http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2013/03/2…
There are, probably, hundreds and hundreds of foreign radical Islamists flocking to Syria from Europe and Russia to participate in Jihad.
Here is a video of Aleppo military base seized by rebels. The guy speaks Chechen and broken Russian (I am Russian myself) He praises Allah, and promises to kill all infidels and establish the Shariah law in Syria. He repeats, "Our goal is establishing the Shariah law here". It is at 4min.mark
Shariah in Russian sounds like"shary-at", you can hear him repeating the word.
