Peace Dead? 'Houla massacre Al-Qaeda act'

The UN Security Council has strongly condemned the murder of 108 men, women and children in the Syrian village of Houla. According to initial reports, many of the victims were executed at point blank-range. The Syrian government has flat-out rejected responsibility for the murders - saying a third-party is behind the slaughter - aimed at destabilizing the situation. Syria's largest and best armed rebel group reacted to the slaughter saying it won't abide by an international ceasefire unless the UN intervenes. RT's correspondent Anastasia Churkina has more on the Security Council's response. Also the rebels are adamant that the blame for the Houla massacre lies with the government. But former Pentagon official Michael Maloof says the rebels' side of the story just doesn't add up.

The truth cannot be hidden. scums like you trying to hide the truth of Assad's criminal regime have an "mission impossible" task. not you and a million like you are going to successfully in hiding the truth.

why would you not work for Assad? does the devastation he and his father caused Lebanon for decades have anything to do with it?

if you are part Lenanese, I am sure the other part is Shit.

don't think people outside syria don't know what's going on in syria. this is not 1982, where Hafez Assad slaughtered over 45000 in Hama and hid it from the world.

we are seeing events as it happens sometimes in real time. we are in communication with many syrians inside syria. your are hired by Assad to improve his image online, He's shit...you can cover it, you can color it, but He's still a pile of smelly stinky Shit.

Assad and his thugs are going to pay for their crimes against humanity

I am a free thinker, believe in God but don't follow any religious group.

The libyan revolution was totally different than the syrian rev. the libyan's was an armed movement from the beginning. unlike the syrian spring which was and continues to be based on peaceful protest. FSA are not protesters, they are army protecting protesters from Assad's destructive forces.

you can go back as far as March of 2011 you'll see many videos of Assad's gang shooting and killing unarmed protesters.

Yes I know what Assad has done in the past and like I said I dont support him. However the facts are the facts, there would be no uprising if it was not for UNITED STATES and its western puppets. Assad was not killingmunarmed protesters.

It is just like Libya,,the so called peaceful protesters were armed and killing government troops, police and burning down buildings.

Are you a sunni?
