@21boxhead Free Syrian Army was trained by Al-Assad, now he is getting a spoonful of his own medicine. That is why Syria has to get out of this horrible dictatorship. Get out of the middle ages in to the modern free world. Al Assad is not the person to do it. He has been born in to a dictatorship and is blind to the real needs of a modern state!!!

@21boxhead al-Assad is trying to force on the syrian people a regime that is not accepted by many.obviously there aren't the institutions in place to be able to manage this discontent in a political arena. the violence is a symptom not the problem, KILLING IS NOT THE SOLUTION. No institutions in Syria TO HAVE a political battle,were the casualties are "votes lost"or"reputations lost"or to "remove Al Assad from Syria"peacefully.

The only battle,is men against men,were the casualties are lives!!!

I'd be very cautious in trusting Al JewDiearia news.The Jews bought out the media a few years ago. Don't trust a word of it. Must be alot of stupid people taking alll of this anti-Asssad bullshit

When you hear "Allah Akbur" just before a tank is blown up, you know who is on the other end. Whether you like al Assad or not, Syria needs to be free from Islamic terrorists.

Russian politicians are up sh*ts creek without a paddle calling the ire of the world then the wrath of humanity scorn, humanity attemptedly demolished while those mass murderers failed. So unceremonious an end for war lords from pole to pole is what's rising. How many times do you suppose the world fell for this Rothschilds game? Nobody here is god and there is only 1 highlander, but we might have to bash a few hundred thousand of them hard to convince their better serving themselves at peace.

[danielvincentkelley]

The Opposition recognizes the futility of conspiring with a mass murderer. Why should they expose themselves for talks. That's nothing but a dirty trick Assad's trying to pull. Notice they don't name anybody they're saying said they wouldn't talk. The resistance isn't led by 1 man, OBVIOUSLY. This is disinfo through and through. Assad could concede defeat and hand them the keys to the kingdom and they would still stab him in the ass with a machete for what he did to their lives and babies.

All this for another oppressive Theocracy. Good luck.
