DoorBert (OP) User ID: 857877 United States 02/07/2013 04:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Syria's army has launched a fierce assault around Damascus, blasting rebel strongholds and sealing the main entrances to the capital, witnesses said, as prospects for peace talks dimmed. Shattering months of relative calm in the capital, Wednesday's offensive coincided with two suicide car bombings that killed almost 20 members of the security forces in the ancient city of Palmyra, a watchdog reported.

Quoting: DoorBert Hey dumb asses. This is the situation Assad the dictator (who inherited power not earned it legit) - Totally fucked .... Kills anybody who does not agree with him & Rebels Rebels - Totally fucked .... Kills Christians and Assad loyalists Assad and all the rebel factions are fucked .... all of them This is why the US, Russia and Turkey etc etc have not intervened. They just covertly assist a side in the hope it resolves itself. If there is a viable alternative all sides would be in on it just to settle it. The fact is there is no "Good" alternative to hand the power over to. None whatsoever. Assad had one last chance to unite his country and that is to start a war with Israel using the Golan Heights as the catalyst. Sad but true facts |
