http://www.hurriyetd ailynews.com/turkey- paying-for-guns-sent -to-syrian-rebels-by -cia-report.aspx?pag eID=238&nid=23698 T he whole Syrian uprising and arab spring are western backed attacks on sitting govt.. The word democracy is now equal to the right to claim chosen status and kill at large. Is it any wonder that we have a drone president backing this war. Lots of jewish , european and us money interfering in other nations. One can only hope the tyranny from Israel, Europe and the USA is defeated. Send the jew to fight the illegal jew wars.I'll settle for free speech and the right to print my own currency.

       Well, isn't it time for conscientious elders and leaders of Syrian villages and small towns to step up, organize town-hall meetings and tell the rebels and the paid foreign fighters, they've wrecked enough havov on Syria; and henceforth there would be no hiding place for them in the small towns and villages? What the heck are you guys doing, when your country is aflame? Want the fate of your country to be decided by foreigners far removed from your day to day sufferings? You want your country dismembered and cut into pies like Iraq?

Wesley you muttering bafoon, if it was not for the support of Russia, millions more Syrians would have died in the hands of these mercenaries. Everyone knows that so called Syrian army is nothing more than Salafi, Wahhabi, Al qaeda members. Trained, financed by Arab Emirates, Qatari land and governed by US&A. Why we do not see armed violence in Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia? because there is oppossion but is civilian, all they can do throw stone and sticks. We can not fight the regular army if you were civilian doing something else 3 months ago. You will get killed in the first gun fight.

We will do everything in our power to minimize the cost of war on our side yet achieve our goal of free oil from Fockin Middle East. We will defeat the enemies of America and freedom. Dont be mistaken we are allied with Al-Qaeda in Syria but since they are doing what we want to do, The US government dont blame them. Hail to freedom, peace and liberty.God bless United States of America. lolz

Why is it that each time the so called UN monitors approach a certain district, fighting escalates? For me it is clear taht tee is a conection between escalation of violence and the UN monitors. Do the UN monitors impart orders, co-ordinates or instructions to the US terrorists about the Syrian army's location, vulnerability or otherwise when they try to visit US foreign mercinary terrorist infected areas? Whatever the case, the major culprit in all this is Er the Gun of Turkey. Without him harboyring terror training campd and offering logistic support to the US/Zionist terror squads this would not have happened. We, the people can do something about it. BOYCOT EVERYTHIONG TURKISH AND DON'T VISIT THE COUNTRY. TELL YOUR FRIENDS, WRITE IT DOWN ON FASCE-BOOK, SPREAD THE WORD. DO IT FOR THE SAKE OF THE SYRIAN PEOPLE, DO IT FOR TRUE MUSLIMS, DO IT FOR THE PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS. LET'S GIVE THIS US PUPPET CO-MURDERER ERDOPGAN A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE. AND BOYCOT ALSO THE SOURCE OF ALL EVIL. THE US and ISRAEL. BUY ONLY CHINESE AND FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. THESE PEOPLE ADORE MONEY NOT GOD. LET'S ATTACK THEIR FALSE GOD.

This is the second time the terrorists try to establish a foothold in Homs to use it as a base to launch coordinated operations with heavy weapons smuggeled from Lebanon and Turkey similar to what happened in the city of Hama in the 80's , but the result is the same,bring down the house over their heads.

to all those who oppose the Syrian armies attacks on terrorists, just remember if america can do it (iraq & afghanistan ) then Syria can do it as well, kill those MF terrorists, tie em up to a pole and set em alight at night to save lighting power, and then attack those saudis and qataris as well.

God willing Syrian Defense Forces and Security Forces will Wipe out every single Terrorists so NATO will be left without a Terrorist/Paid Killers to Fight for them in Lebanon and Russia.

@ Mr Hand.
 I think you'll find that Assad's government has bent over backwards to negotiate with the western supported terrorists who are doing the Zionist's bidding. He has offered many ceasefires but has been refused, The terrorist's position has always been the same "We want Power" they won't negotiate, being stupid enough not to have learnt their lesson in Libya and the countries that NATO demolished before Libya.

The UN is the cause of the escalating violence.. They denigrate one side of the conflict and support the other side.. now their mention of "unprecedented violence" is just the usual trick in the book.."let us go in and stop this unprecedented violence, NATO get ready" .. I'm amazed at how wicked some people are..You're against the terrorist but you allow the terrorist.. that's because you are the terrorist AmericAlQaeda... Honestly i give up on the decency and reasonableness of mankind... what I was thought to be wrong once is now RIGHT.. so says the people we once looked up too.. the west that taught us good from evil and right from wrong..All those UN stooges should be dumped in the deepest dept next to Osama Bin Laden..sikeee..

Poor Assad, first his General of the Republican Guard and his best friend from school days defects to Turkey, then a video of his army troops with their mustaches half shaven and singing praise to the Free Syrian Army goes on youtube.  Assad's indiscriminate artillery fire is falling mostly on civilians and the revolution keeps growing and just won't quit.  But  even Assad's best thug buddies, like the one who defected today, know they are doing evil things and no longer want to be associated with him.   The walls are falling down, the emperor has no clothes, and the Syrian people aren't going to keep sitting around being hit by recklessfire from undisciplined Syrian soldiers.   Assad's troops should offer a cease fire before they get their heads handed to them by the people of Syria..
