Yesterday, the pro-rebel Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimated 80 people were killed in the five-day Syrian military offensive against the Damascus suburb of Jdeidet al-Fadl, while other rebel factions were claiming 250.
Today, the SOHR revised their figure, saying that they can confirm 109 killed, but then going on to say that they figure the actual death toll is around 500, making this one of the deadliest incidents of the civil war.
Other Syrian rebel factions echoed the estimate, terming the offensive against the rebel-held suburb a “crime against humanity” and a massacre of enormous proportions. Acting SNC President George Sabra claimed Syrian President Bashar Assad explicitly ordered the troops to “kill and massacre” civilians in the offensive.
Syrian state media provided no estimate for the toll, but claimed the military inflicted “heavy losses” on the rebels in the suburb. Jdeidet and other Sunni suburbs have long been left to rebel control but surrounded by Syrian troops, and the recent offensive suggests that the military may be looking to reclaim some lost ground.
Syria is going to be these bandits "rebels" graveyard.., Kerry have offered them 250million dollars and they will take the money and come to Europe for unfinished job.., after all it was Europe who promised them the rose garden and red carpet laid out for them.., to take the government job in Syria.., what they didn't count with was that Syria people don't want to put dirt on their name by being a lapdog regime for Saudis and Wahabbis terrorist organization.
seems like every time the loosely labeled "rebels" take a massive hit by SAA, the US gives them new aid USD…maybe not. but it sure looks to be a pattern. Maybe the WH can't come to terms with reality and are operating from a band-aid mentality. Kind of like an ER doc can't see the big picture…but can treat the pain, or stop the current bleeding….only to lose the patient early AM to "unknown causes"…
So, right now, MSM labels the death toll as "citizens/Syrians" even while stating they can't be certain because of lack of journalists on the ground. but they label the dead anyway…(Ironic- isn't? I mean, remember how hard it was to get numbers during the Iraq War…nevermind….)
…Obama is labeled as being reluctant, not filling the vacuum., …yet the total amount of "known" USD spent over the last 3yrs is over $400m, the majority of that coming in the last 6mo. How much "matching dollars" the Sauds and Qatar are putting out is unknown. But they are the suppliers of the hardware even if Obama gives INTEL SATLINK and stratagems AND most importantly, political cover to the "rebels" . The total expense Erdogan's Islamist party has forced onto the Turkish people. (Are they spending or making money on this war?). That's the problem with covert ops…open secret might be seen by all, but it's very hard to track down the details.
Syria is a proxy war as ever one did exist, but it's really quite disheartening to see the so-called antiwar progressives who challenged Reagan in Central America or Dubya in Iraq end up soft-peddling US policy in the Levant…quite unnerving actually.
Assad must wipe CIA agents off Syria and the world thank him. Defeating these terrorists means defeating US terrorism and the baby killer, Obama and John Kerry who was responsible for partition of Sudan. These people are war criminals idiot. The whole world hate them all.
Brahimi MUST GO!!!
http://www.china.org.cn/world/Off_the_Wire/2013-0…
Brahimi is clearly a failure at best…and, at worst, he's counterproductive and a shill only making things worse…
Either way, the man has to "GO" if he as even an ounce of 'integrity' and/or 'moral compass'…
So…why isn't Brahimi GONE already???
Why isn't AW.C endlessly complaining about a "negotiated solution"???
Can 'we' all please just call a 'spade a spade' for once here??? What needs to happen???
Brahimi MUST GO!!!!

Brahimi is clearly a failure at best…and, at worst, a counterproductive shill (for certain 'allies") only making things worse…
Either way: the man "MUST GO" if he has any ounce of 'integrity' and/or 'moral compass'…that is…
So…why isn't Brahimi GONE already??? What's the hold up? Is he not "GONE" yet?
Why isn't AW.C endlessly complaining about a "negotiated solution"…'peace talks'??? Or is Syria not supposed to "defend" itself?
Can 'we' all please just call a 'spade a spade' for once here??? What needs to happen???
Brahimi MUST GO!!!!
