Five days of heavy fighting has subsided, and Syria’s government is back in control of Jdaidet al-Fadl, a suburb of the capital city of Damascus. Heavy fighting left at least 80 people dead, according to rebel accounts, with at least some civilians among the slain.
But as has so often been the case with no media on the ground, different rebel groups were telling wildly different stories with different death tolls. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which quoted 80 as their “official” total, said some groups were claiming 250, a toll echoed by Jamal al-Golani, a rebel leader, who told Reuters that they believe over 250 died. The BBC claimed unnamed groups were putting the toll as high as 450.
Syria’s state media also reported on the fighting but completely dodged the question of a death toll, saying only that they inflicted “heavy losses” on the rebels who had been in control of the suburb.
Golani said he believes the battle was lost from day one, as Jdaidet was surrounded by Syrian army forces in every direction. Syria’s military has long left pro-rebel suburbs in rebel hands, figuring that so long as they were surrounded they posed no real threat to the capital. Recently, however, it looks as though they are looking to reclaim some lost territory here and elsewhere.
We said that from day one…, Syria is going to be the graveyard of terrorists sent to fight the Syrian people.., because these people fight the Syrian people, they fight a legitimate government chosen by the Syrian people.., that's makes their actions.., no matter who supports them.., illegal.., as the Iraq war was illegal.., as the Libyan war was based on lies.
mojo. When will you be using common sense. You claim the Syrian government was chosen by the Syrian people. You are total ignorant about the Middle East and Syria. Syria's president Bashar inherited the presidency from his father which was taken by force 43 years ago. Al-Asad family roots come from Iran. Bashar is not the actual ruler of Syria. Iran has been running the show long time ago. Syria made pact with Israel to protect its boder. Hizbullah also doing the same thing protecting Israeli border. Your government, Israel, Syria, Hizbullah, Russia and Iran all in it together to destroy Syria. An idiot like youb will never affect my feelings because we as Muslim believe in the Prophecy. The Armageddon is coming and the victory will be for Sunni Muslim. Shia, Zionist and the bankers will be wiped out from the face of this earth. If you stand by them then you will be included.
But there is a huge majority for Assad.
Even a poll provided by the enemy, the Arab league, showed that Assad had support of 51 percent of Syrians, which is expected to have risen to about 75 percent since they killings and destruction of foreign and Syrian fighters happened.
Assad is seen as the only ruler able to secure peaceful cooperation of the many religions, ethnic and political groups. See below some huge Pro-Assad demonstrations around Syria :

I got the impression Assad is really loved and valued by the majority. He is very moderate and his wife is like an angel !
See the real "brutal dictator" for yourself, he sounds like a lamb and his beautiful woman like an angel :

Syria's First Lady Asma Al Assad In Paris Part 2 – 2010(International Diplomatic Academy):
The army appears to have changed its military policy, i.e., now to eliminate the rebels, clear and simple. They are an existential threat to the survival of the State of Syria, so, sine the U.S. and its allies have not removed them from Syria and upheld international law respecting the sovereign rights of the Syrian nation and Syrian people, the Syrian army will eliminate them from their country. It should have happened a long time ago.
Actually it did happen, but USA/NATO/AL permanently brought in new killers. Equipped with modern US satellite phones and command&Control laptops, they are permanently informed about weaker Syrian Army post, co-fighters or can warn them when the army comes.
If USA brought killers then how come the rebels can't stop all these massacres committed by Hizbulla, Iran, the Mehdi army from Iraq with the help of Russia, Israel and the US of A
I do not know anything about "all these massacres committed by Hizbulla, Iran, the Mehdi army from Iraq with the help of Russia,"
these massacres ?? WHICH ones? Who was massacred? When Where? How, why, What should be the motive of "Hizbulla, Iran, the Mehdi army from Iraq with the help of Russia" ???
Please proof your claim or information …
and you added with the help of " Israel and the US of A"
isn't this a contradiction?
fyi

Yes – I know. Who does not know, should read this: http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com.es/2011/12/syri…
Why do you almost never report what the Syrian government says about the war? In this you are little different than the mainstream media

He should always add his photo to its articles. Anyone wants a personal impression from a writer, in order to know whom you are trusting.

USA/NATO no longer can warn they killers on the ground:
With regard to “Free Army” time is up for tactical withdrawals
Media sources reveal that “Syrian Army appraoches new tactics that have made the possibility of Western intelligence monitoring to the movements of the army almost impossible, which enabled the Syrian forces of achieving the recent victories over Free Army militia and over al-Nusra Front, linked to al-Qaeda organization. Al-Watan Newspaper quotes of Western sources “the data about Syrian Army’s movement has become almost non-existent and are strictly confidential.”

You should be aware of extreme Media news fraud everywhere and systematically:
The principle is simple: Assad supporters kill or are killed and rebel fighters show the bloody bodies in videos and tell media it was done by Assad's troops, if the not take just bloody pictures from anywhere on the web: http://medien-luegen.blogspot.de/2012/02/beispiel…
