Fact is Assad will fall , because power, money, media is too much vs Assad.  he dont even have the popularity of Qadafi who did so much good for his country, yet slain  like a dog. Whether we like it or not, the sinful allied have not failed so far, in paying for to get regime changes. Arabs too disunited, even worse traitors amongst themselves, how much they detest and hate each other with venom.  For centuries, that has been the case with the Muslim world.  Assad has been stronger than expected, its a question of time.  One day, it would come Saudi's way too, cos money can only do so much.

I am an American. I like many in the world love this country. It bothers me that so many blame "America" for all the evil going on. The truth is that there are evil blooded crooks that control too much here, and in the rest of the world. It is them who all should blame. America is a victim as well. All peace wanting people should warn their governments that they will face consequences for starting or participating in unjust wars. War should be the last option and in defense only. We as the people of the same world should enforce that rule and keep all governments in check. Only then will the evil doers have lost control, and only then will we have true peace. Good luck to us all.

What happens in Syria happenend in other countries before. It is exactly described in the Slavonic-aryan vedes as the tacticts of evil forces which live from other peoples creations and blood: The Foreigners will make the nations/tribes fight and destroy, in order to rob their riches in the end. This happened now over and over again. In 1941 Germans almost destroyed the Russian nation and vice versa. Luckily it gets more and more difficult to create wars and and the dinosaurs in the typical hijacked governments surely dissapoint their evil masters.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar, financing terrorists in Syria, technically declared war on Syria and must be treated by International Law as agressors.

 Al-assad a brilliant playfull murderer (only outdone by his own father) sponsored by Iran ,Russia with moral support from China.  IS fighting other murderers, from his own country sponsored by Saudi Arabia, Quatar withmoral support from NATO. The only outcome is there will be less murderesin the world (and some insignificant Syrian civilians) hopefully this drags on for a long time and we have less murderers. I personally wish to give moralsupport to both sides in this conflict . A fight to the LAST SYRIAN.

@Eurasian: Shut up ! You have no idea what you are talking about. You think it's cool to steal all these countries like croatia, bosnia and so on and think that the many crimes that happened in this war are good?To rape the women and kill the children. Oh no yes you are right it was totally wrong to destroy this regime of killers. Really the NATO was soo wrong with that. Next time you better go to the restroom if you want to talk this kind of stuff !

To say that the world runs on oil is to state the obvious. Major disruptions to that supply will bring about major changes to governments. The salafi's have gone to the dark side and joined the bully brigade a few good men could change the world. Be strong be swift strike hard.

What the Saudis need to realise is, once the Zionists achieve their objective of deposing Assad and invading Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are next.
This war on Lybia, Syria, Iraq is not about human rights or ridding the Middle East of the "Evil" Dicators, this is about G.O.D. (Gold, Oil and Dollars) and what makes me laugh is, the Zionists are broke, they are running out of other people's moneys and the Asians will end up buying all their assets and the scum behind the New World Order will meet their fate and hopefuly we can get some sanity back in the world.
Have you noticed, since the formation of the UN, NATO and all these Zionists organisations there have been far more wars in human history? Doesn't that tell you something......

Syria must learn the lessons from Russia in fighting terrorists (unregistered) 23.06.2012 23:36

Syria must know not all of the paid terrorists want to die. So the more Syria eliminates largest number of terrorists the less terrorists willing to enter Syria. So, Syria must have two prong strategy: Support local people and meet their legitimate demands and be totally ruthless with the terrorists. I am certain these terrorists will take their evil ways back to Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia and beyond.

Gulf countries like Qatar, S.Arabia and UAE apparently decided to employ fake Syrian soldiers against Syrian goverment. Rebels- called Free Syrian Army- will be paid salary by those rich Arabs to kill their poor brothers. So they will be personally richer soldiers paid by other countries than their brothers fighting for their own country as free. But I wonder how will Free Syrian Army to be free while being paid from foreign countries? Soon the soldiers of real legal Syrian Army will realize the opportunity to make money and have better life standarts by working for rich Arabs against thier own country. I am sure it will be an orientation for them to chance the side. THIS IS TO BUY A WAR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. And it s certainly immorally to try to buy the soldiers of an other country. It s a new and very dirty war method. New western invention is done by immorally friends. Rich Arabs will buy poor Arabs by paying for blood. By this method Syrian friends dont try to reduce armed conflictions but just finance to encourage a brother fight.

It appears the Royal Despots have publicly signed their death warrants. Apparently all of the new shiny USA Military Weapons has gone to the Saudi Royal inbred sun-toasted heads spilling over into inviting Iran and Syrian agents to bury them along with their Oil infrastructure.

With the Royals diseased and elderly, they seem ripe for a radical change from the Wahabi radical theology they have poured out, engaging a running war on the Shiia populations.

It figures the Zionist infested US State Department would flood Saudi Arabia with Billions in new USA Military Weapons which historically will be eventually turned on the Saudi citizens and then on the USA Military troops called in to put down the resulting Saudi revolution.
