General Salim Idris, the Chief of Staff of the Syrian rebels’ Supreme Military Council, reacted with anger toward the US announcement of additional aid for his forces, insisting that the promise of food rations and medical supplies were meaningless.
“We don’t want food and drink and we don’t want bandages. When we’re wounded, we want to die. The only thing we want is weapons,” Gen. Idris insisted in a telephone interview, adding that the “whole world” knows he needs missiles, not food.
Gen. Idris also denied receiving any of the weapons that the GCC have been openly sending to rebel factions, claiming that the FSA only has weapons looted from the Syrian military and is dealing with a “severe shortage” of ammunition.
Rebels have been complaining about arms shortages from virtually the beginning of the war, and while various nations continue to smuggle arms in, they keep insisting they never get them. Despite a shortage of ammunition that has supposedly lasted a solid year, the Syrian rebels appear to have no trouble launching offensives.
To the "rebel"…, Ask your master in Saudi Arabia and UAE to provide you with what you need.., your masters paying your saleris…, they paid 75 million dollars for you win this war…, look where you are now.., not even a street under your name…, but there is an option.., lay down your arms and start talking to the Syrian government.., the real and the legitimate government presenting the majority of Syria people.. People who don't want to have anything to do with you the "rebels".., people who your not representing, people whom you betrayed.., the Syrian people.
Beside all that.., you the "rebels" consist of bandits, gangsters and terrorists.., you know the black market.., the arms dealer in every corner in this world.., buy it from them. The American working man and women are sick and tired of wars…, they are busy fighting to stop such freebies to Israel for Israel wars..,
Don't give them weapons. Hell, don't even talk to them. it's not the American people's fight.
Jesus, somebody please tell those rebels to calm down, that of course we´ll give them weapons, indeed firepower of all kinds. That speech was for the rest of the world and has nothing to do with our terrorist friends in the world. Since when do we give out humanitarian aid, just look at Iraq and Afghanistan. Tell those rebels to relax, weapons are on their way.
They are not "rebels". They are foreign state-sponsored terrorists working to advance the interests of the USI and its puppet regimes.
That is a propaganda speech, just to show to the world how they do not need anything — they are preapared to die for their cause, just give them missiles! They need missiles to kill Syrian people.
And our busybodies, the "free" press, never managed to talk to REAL SYRIAN PEOPLE, as they will learn that NOBODY is supporting the terrorists. So, we now have a real live example od STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM, and the terrorists are demanding more weapons — so they can more effectively kill people.
What a mess. Our government is living in a lalalalalal land!
weapons are already there, found on the corpses.. but half the general's fighters are drug addicts or unemployed tools suckered into fighting…they are cogs. walking into fire. they lose, will continue to lose. because some sickness in the West has decided to try to chip at Syria. Years now, and Assad still stands. Worse for the enablers. they have lost all winter. Spring to summer are the times America likes to fight. Years now, and what's this? Israel begins to go after oil and gas when nobody is looking? and Erdogan breaks out in a tantrum.
Obama's proxy war against Syria at home isn't seen as an American war. Maybe 5 years will pass and the war will continue. And still Obama will get a free walk. Because "war" in the average dullard of an antiwar liberals mind is equatable to "boots on the ground"…sadly, the great majority of opposition to Obama is from the "right". which, is, all to happy to overtly talk about war..Not all, but the great majority. When McCain and Romney and Obama and Clinton and Kerry are the "options"…heh…how disgusting it was to watch "both sides" justify overthrowing Libya. Where are all these idiots? Pretending it was 1) not a war; 2) a success.
