he is a supporter of foreign-backed child butchers and NATO slaves, so his tongue is rebelling against having to spout so many lies at once. I think that the human body can not stay healthy if the person is so evil and such a liar and propagandist. i love it how Al-Jazeera disabled comments on all videos, where they lie against president Assad and the noble Syrian army and nation. even if they disable some air defeses, the real deal is concealed to the FSA bandits...and ready to strike.

2. Not to speak of the fact, that Turkey shelters thousands of these mercenary "FSA" foreign terrorists plus the 10% of the FSA extremists who are Syrian wahhabis. All of them will surely not leave Turkey voluntarily - Turkey, which gives them such good living conditions, free weapons, food, healthcare.I can't wait to see ErDOGan's dumb face, once the "FSA" rats start attacking Turkish cities, army and civilians+what he will tell his people.NATO will not move a finger to help him in that matter.

Whether or not you agree with what the rebels are fighting for, you can't ignore the fact that Assad and his regime repress his people, people who try to speak out against injustice conveniently "disappear"

Yes because Assad is no less a butcher than they are? If you recall, he's ordered airstrikes and massacres on civilians. Neither side is right here, but Assad is far from Noble.

Also whoever let this guy narrate the broadcast needs to get their ears checked lol.

The savage european/euro-american regimes r behind the destruction and chaos ravaging Syria, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, Somalia, Pakistan, Iraq etc. Boycott european/euro-american products, this is how u as an individual can contribute to the destruction of the euro-american savage global empire. Each time u buy a euro-american commodity u r contributing to the death of people in Syria etc. Each time u buy a european commodity u r contributing to their military budget.

raising fears among western powers?? the aljazeera thug is comedian fu-ck. Western savages r fearful of those illiterate and superstitious death squads? The nusra and FSA death squads r cia stooges and puppets. The reason the savage western regimes r not arming them enough is to create the new middle east, those death squads will now establish Bantustan (european style in south africa). poeple don't govern themselves, stay behind groups and invisible governments govern.

so now you finally understand it that the west has no hands in the syrian conflict i blame it to russia,china, and the arab leaders who is against assad simply because he is a shiite.

"in syria a different story is happening their ally russia does not have plans to stop the violence before it escalate."

Not only Russia; Iran is involved. Neither care about the Syrian people of their aspirations to govern themselves wo-Assad family & the police state that they created.

Russia is concerned about it's port in Tartus & Syria as an arms customer. Iran has supplied Syria with missiles; Iran also has it's IRGC Quds forces & Hezbollah militias in Syria.

Sadly this will go on.

[grvc44]

but the problem is you miss one point on who is behind the escalation of conflict in syria, things like this has prevented in egypt by mubarak stepping down, and who convince him? his ally the west. in syria a different story is happening their ally russia does not have plans to stop the violence before it escalate.

The Al Assad soldiers are the true sons of Syria not those Fanatic killers.

They are Trying to get big mosques allover the world and send Imam's to recruit for there Army for God. Why is nobody Helping. I hope it's not because of oil or that Obama is a Muslim!.

Why everybody is waiting till it's to late "TO LIVE WITHOUT FEAR!".
