At least, in this case, US thinks Al-Qaeda affliated FSA is good terrorist and Hezbollah is a bad terrorist. I agree. Every dead terrorist is a good terrorist.Is any Good Terrorist
only a Dead terrorist is Good Terrorist
The United States could make a decision as early as this week on whether to arm Syrian rebels, U.S. officials said on Monday.
What has changed in recent weeks is the tilting of the battlefield against the rebels as Lebanese Hezbollah has entered the fray on the side of Assad's forces, helping them to retake the strategic town of Qusair.
So has the geneva conference failed even before it started?? As missiles, f-16s are already there, when will action begin then??? Somehow i get a feeling that this two and half years civil war has entered a very very interesting point where the course of the war will be decided soon. West/israel has to do something before pro-regime forces start regaining territories again. They just can't be seen promoting a losing side.That shift has made it less likely that a U.S. and Russian planned peace conference to bring the rebels and the government to the table would succeed in U.S. President Barack Obama's aim of a negotiated political transition to remove Assad from power.
Likely a google translation?President Assad friends don not forget; where he said he "was granted to extract oil Syrian coast to the Russian company," stressing full confidence that the Russians will not change their position of his country; because they are in fact defending the security of the strategic and national interests, who were exposed to danger if managed the West and his followers put pounces on Syria. He explained that the Russians did not try, however, at any stage of the conflict, dictate any position on the country, and they even when it was formed have different proposals on some aspects of the conflict, they were content with the formulation of opinion only, and leave for Syria to act in light of what it deems appropriate .For the reconstruction, he said that Chinese companies are ready to do its part in this area, and they made it clear with everything in this regard.
The United States and Britain have said that they have detected sarin, a nerve agent, in physiological samples from Syria and that it was probably used by government troops. French officials have gone further, saying there is "no doubt" that the Syrian government used sarin in at least one attack and possibly others.
But none of the evidence has been made public, and many experts on chemical weapons say that it is important to remain skeptical, that the anecdotal evidence that has emerged is inconclusive and needs to be investigated by an impartial organization. Some experts have been mystified by the relatively low number of deaths, given the toxicity of a nerve agent like sarin. They are also confused by the range of symptoms seen in videos disseminated by Syrian opposition activists — including some that seem mild — leading to questions about what kind of toxins were used, but also the veracity of some of the videos.
Syria's prewar population was 26 million.
93,000 is a BIG BIG number for a small country like Syria and it's a serious issue now.Syria's prewar population was 26 million.
13 million men, assume that half those are of fighting age.
6.5 million.
93k is about 1.5% of all combat age men in Syria.
Those fatality rates are similar to what the UK experienced over six years of WW2...
93k is even crazier when you think about it in terms of death rates.93,000 is a BIG BIG number for a small country like Syria and it's a serious issue now.
Even bigger concern is that if the West intervenes to stop the war it can blow up in a even bigger war and engulf the whole region.93k is even crazier when you think about it in terms of death rates.
The Syrian Civil War didn't really heat up until mid-2012.
This is number will be insignificant, if Syria falls to some radical Sunni faction.93k is even crazier when you think about it in terms of death rates.
