So rebels can use IED or shit like this but the other side can't use tricks ?

Seems legit.

[Scoop Johnson]

Now that kind of rebel support I will support!!

[Paul Jennings]

That's right because the good guys aren't supposed to cause indiscriminate pain, suffering and death if it doesn't seem legitimate to you then chances are you're a bad guy.

Gunpowder next to HE has a different weight ratio with each other, but who is weigh millions of bullets one at a time during a conflict? I do not approve of this war due to all of the shady about it and surrounding it. But ammo that explodes could actually leak into civilian use and cause casualties to the innocent who just wanted to go Skeet Shooting.

Good for assad, fuck these rebel cannibal terrorist. they lost all credibility when they massacred different religions and used chemical weapons, yes used chemical weapons, google syrian rebels turkey sarin, rebels have been caught with sarin gas near locations it was said to be used. Seriously, Go Assed, Wipe these scum from the earth.

[TrollingDr]

they "weight" the same, they are not filled with gunpowder but a high explosive, maybe you should have watched the video

[Jay dooms]

haha...WHAT youre confused...the american govenrment is very anti assad, pro FSA...they BS they feed us is all in support of rebels. are u kidding? they are the ones who want the gov overthrown the most so they can put in a western-backed puppet, just liek they did in lybia and make syria in debt to them by establishing central bank, just like in lybia...just watch. if gov gets overthrown wathc the first thing they do? Set up bank and secure oil deals. fuck the west, fuck the rebels.

[MsGoodHands]

supposedly fighting to rid the world of in iraq...now we pay them to invade countries for us for geopolitical reasons. Syria may need reform, and may have issues with their gov, but they are going to have way way worse issues when the rebels are done with the place. no longer secular - now divided and fighting over religion. just like iraq. just like lybia. new york times, shame on you. do some real reporting. "spiked ammunition"??? what about eating ppl's hearts and raping women ?!?! <rebels

[MsGoodHands]

the USA, Turkey, Israel, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Why? becaus eit has been on our agenda for years ot take out syria, along with iraq, iran, lybia afghanistan, somalia and sudan. the information is out there and not hard to find for an inquiring citizen who wants to know, so why cant you jokers find it and have the passion to report on the TRUTH. after all THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF YOUR JOB. pathetic. proof assad used sarin gas = none. proof rebels did = lots. rebels = same "terrorists" we were

[MsGoodHands]

hey new york times. heres an idea, rather tha n just reporting what your owners/bosses tell u to, and going along with the flow, why dont you actually do joure job, and do some true journalism and research. you media are all bottom feeding lying sold-out scum. now youre main job is to push the propoganda our government spews out, rather than fact check it, which is why you were created. SYRIA IS NOT EXPERIENCING A "CIVIL WAR" It's been ininadted with hired merconaries, trained and armed by
