13 minute youtube vid without commentary isn't a great start to a thread.

This is a Propaganda piece.

Reporter went looking for a Syrian to provide the story that they wanted.
Verbiage in some areas is identical to that of Assad.

Assad wants to call any opponent a terrorist. It lends legitamcy to his government and justification for his attacks on the civilian.

The Rebels are just a bunch of fanatical Jihadis anyways, it speaks volumes that the rebels are almost entirely Sunni muslim and the Shiite and Christian population fears them taking over. If it was a genuine revolt at the very least there would be obvious discontent from other religous groups yet all you see is them clamoring around their secular government.




Syria rebels 'beheaded a Christian and fed him to the dogs' as fears grow over Islamist atrocities

Sources inside the Syrian Orthodox Church have claimed an "ongoing ethnic cleansing of Christians" is being carried out by the Free Syrian Army. In a communication received by Agenzia Fides, the sources claimed that over 90% of the Christians of Homs have been expelled by militant Islamists of the Farouq Brigades who went door to door, forcing Christians to flee without their belongings and confiscating their homes.[59] The Christian population of Homs had dropped from a pre-conflict total of 160,000 down to about 1000.[60] Jesuit sources in Homs said the reason for the exodus was the Christians' fears over the situation and that they had left on their own initiative to escape the conflict between government forces and insurgents.

No one denies (that I am aware of ) that it will be tied to religious groups in the end just like Iraq and Egypt.

The difference is that in Iraq; it took external forces; Egypt it was internal forces with the pressure form Egypt's allies to bail. The previous governments(dictatorships) are being replaced with just another secular group.

With Syria, Iran and Russia are blocking efforts to disable their proxy. syria is still another dictatorship based off of a religious group

And this is why we shouldn't get involved. You have Iranian-funded hezbollah and foreign Mujahideen fighting and killing each other in syria; the fact that two groups who may otherwise be fighting against american interests are instead killing each other sounds like a foreign policy success to me. Yeah, that's harsh, but why bother getting involved? I can imagine a lot of things happening in syria after a rebel victory, but a stable, pro-west democracy isn't IMHO one of them.

And, what you are being spoon feed is Western propaganda as well.

Fighters that do not use American money or weapons = Terrorists.

Fighters that use American money and weapons = Freedom fighters regardless of how evil they are.

IMHO, according to right wing shrills the West can do no wrong, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc...

http://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/pol/polpotmontclarion0498.html

"The US not only helped to create conditions that brought Cambodia's Khmer Rouge to power in 1975, but actively supported the genocidal force, politically and financially. By January 1980, the US was secretly funding Pol Pot's exiled forces on the Thai border. The extent of this support -- $85 million from 1980-86 -- was revealed 6 years later in correspondence between congressional lawyer Jonathan Winer, then counsel to Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation."
"In 1981, Pres. Carter's national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, said, "I encouraged the Chinese to support Pol Pot. The US", he added, "winked publicly" as China sent arms to the Khmer Rouge(KR) through Thailand."

The United States government pressured the United Nations to retain Pol Pot's representative as the "official" representative of Cambodia to the UN, to keep the pro-Vietnamese government out.

How is it in the interests of America for the American State to intervene?

I wish the Spanish govt had helped the Jeffersonians against Washington and the Federalist Party, but I can see why they didn't.

People need to give national socialists like Assad, Ghaddafi, and even George Washington credit for keeping the destruction they cause inside their own country. Long story short, the U.S. govt intervening in Syria would be like if the Spanish govt had aided the Whiskey Rebellion.

You guys didn't know? We support dissent in countries around the world and then make it illegal for people to assemble and protest things on US soil.

Not hypocritical at all.

Yea I actually thought the title was correct until I was reading the wiki on the Syrian civil war and heard that the "Rebels paid for by USA/Isrealis" story is taught in Syrian government schools.

So its probably propaganda. The Syrian rebellion is part of the Arab spring, and thus was very unpredictable. I doubt anyone was pulling the strings on that development.

How they got "well armed" is abit suspicious though. They could steal it from the army. I'm not there so I don't really know I guess. Supposedly civilians with some army defectors help were knocking over police stations and stealing the weapons etc. Who knows its a clusterfuck.

I think its funny someone all the way over in America can be sucked in by Syrian government school propaganda. Hah. And even HELP them make MORE propaganda, LOLOLOL. Propaganda is great.

Good job ZaneJohnson! :awe:
