BBC reporters on the ground are saying that several air strikes were launched against Syria’s largest city of Aleppo today, and that artillery fire was also launched against the eastern part of the city shortly thereafter, pointing to another escalation in fighting there.
Aleppo had long been a place of relative calm during the Syrian Civil War, but fighting erupted over the weekend when a new rebel faction calling itself the Brigade of Unification declared Aleppo to be a pro-rebel city, engaging in major battles with local military forces.
The Brigade group claimed to have deployed 1,000 fighters to Aleppo and promised to “liberate” the city on behalf of the rebel forces in the rest of the country. As usual this only meant turning the city into another battleground.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seemed quite pleased with Aleppo’s newfound status, saying it proved that the “pace of events” was accelerating against Assad and predicting a “safe haven” would be established across Northern Syria, with the rebels using it as a base of operations to attack the rest of the country.
Hillary is delusional. These thugs are taking refuge in Aleppo because they were chased out of Damascus. I'm sure the average men, women & children of that town are just elated to have Hillary's goons bringing misery and death to their once peaceful city.
Good for Syrian people, let kick some bad Saudis, Turkish, UAE, Jordanians, Al Queda ass here.

Even though there doesn't seem to be a lot of "evidence" aircraft are being used for anything more than "reconnaissance" (I've seen a lot 'video' of firing 'at' aircraft, yet I haven't seen any credible (or otherwise) video of of the opposite happening)…I will say that unlike some, who will remain nameless, at least the Syrians would have good reason to use aircraft to repel armed militants/terrorists who are causing destruction and 'terror' within a Major City inside their own country; rather than indiscriminately bombing villagers half way around the world in the mountains of Pakistan who are minding their own business–and may not even know what the US even is….

What people don’t realize is this: These thugs, thives, the bandits and terrorist groups are working to create a buffer zone in western part of Syria protecting Israel with an eventual war. These thugs, bandits and terrorist groups are working for Israel, The Turkish, the Jordanian king some family and the English monarchism, they are not there for democracy nor the US or the EU governments are after such a political formation, they are after to protecting Israel wanting to divide Syria. When Hillary Clinton says something you should read the entire meaning, knowing her history and for that matter the Clinton era being a warmongers. As Bill Clinton hand in hand with Madeline Albright did in Yugoslavia dividing it into peices, acting as they were saving lives arming the Balkan mafia, so they are engaged doing the same thing in Syria.
