Unbelievable: Al Qaeda Sides with US (and Against Russia and China) on Syria
  • Last week the US tried to push a condemnation of Syria through the UN, but had it vetoed by Russia and China. Today, in a move that should put the extremism of Russia and China in perspective, the leader of Al Qaeda has joined the rest of the world calling for an end to the Assad regime: So just to recap the situation, there is a bloodbath taking place in [...]...
    • RT America Attacks Syrian Rush to Judgment, Suggests Governments Killing Citizens is Expected
  • They’re at it again. RT, the Kremlin run news channel, is spinning the story of what is taking place in Syria, trying to make a case for inaction even as thousands of its citizens have been killed by their own government: It’s a bit ironic that Ted Rall, who wrote a book calling for a violent insurgency here in America, seems to believe that a violent insurgency in Syria may [...]...
    • Massacre in Syria, Russia and China Veto UN Action (Updated)
  • This week anti-government forces in Syria had reportedly taken over the city of Homs. Today, Bashar al-Assad sent troops in to take it back and there have reportedly been hundreds killed. The media is blacked out but some video of the carnage has made it out: We’ve already seen the sham of the Arab League monitors which led to nothing but more time for the regime to crack down. Now [...]...
    • Video: Stories of Children Killed in Syrian Violence
  • This story isn’t graphic but it is horrible. It tells the story of children being shot by Assad’s trigger-happy soldiers. Of all the blood Assad’s regime has on its hands, this has to be the worst. Much of the blame for this also goes to Russia and China who continue to insulate Assad and his goons from world opinion. I’ve said this before but I think it bears repeating. New [...]...

I went on [...]...
    • Murder in the Streets of Syria, Obama Silent
  • Today was the day of a major planned protest in Syria. There are several new video clips showing significant crowds in the streets: There are also clips like this one showing the response of Assad’s security forces. Watch for the black-clad sniper man firing over a wall near the end of the clip: Here’s another clip showing protesters armed with rocks vs. automatic weapons fire. Near the end you’ll see [...]...
    • Russia Today Says Assad’s Attack on Homs No Different Than US Attack on Fallujah
  • Desperate to back up the Kremlin’s decision to support Assad’s regime, RT has been arguing that the world’s media is at fault in the conflict. But this clip takes that to a new level. Here you have RT claiming that Assad’s deliberate shelling of civilians who want him gone from power is no different than the US battle for Fallujah in 2004: Those of us not on Putin’s payroll can [...]...
    • UN Once Again Proves Useless, Syria Thrilled

In New York, China and Russia yesterday led opposition that blocked an initiative by [...]...

    • McCain on Syria: What Planet is Koffi Annan Residing On?
