Hearts Broken; Eaten in Syria

[Pope Joan]

These so called rebels (mercenary "insurgents") are tools of Israel and Saudi Arabia, whose arms they bear.

And whose chemical weapons they use.

Did we not learn about these beasts from the atrocities of Aleppo?

Or were we so brainwashed that we believed these depredations were somehow unleashed against Assad's most staunch allies, the Christians?

Fools.

Worse than fools, we knew all the time what we were supporting.

"But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."

I'm ready. As long as I'm right, why should I let supernatural threats deter me?

Jesus himself called his opponents whitewashed tombs filled with dead men's bones and all manner of corruption; I follow his example.

[Al-Faisal]

Hurr, it's those evil Jews again.

Yep, it's never Israel, it's always "dem ebil joowz."

Like when Jews hate what Israel does? They're just hating Jews again. Such self-hatred for the state with the sole authority to speak for Jews. Yep. Antisemitism MUST be the only possibility. After all, Israel has never done anything shady ever.

[Gauthier]

Now zombies are rising up against Assad. Daaaaamn.

[Imperial Nilfgaard]

This shyte happens in the Congo every day. They stopped reporting it when it stopped becoming interesting.

That's the ticking brain of the International media for you.

The media doesn't care about Black people. Thats why nobody reports on the Congo.

[Imperial Nilfgaard]

But there can only be one general butt naked.

lol I actually got that reference.

Liberia ftw

[Merriwhether]

How else will he gain his enemy's strength?

I thought they just had to stand there and absorb their souls. Appearantly not...

[Alekera]

I think that its because its such a regular occurrence over there.

I think Joker said it best (in the Dark Knight Rises) when he said: “If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all ‘part of the plan’. But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!”

Edit: Kinda like how our Boston Bombing is a regular day over in Afghanistan...

[Imperial Nilfgaard]

Power-ups.

In saying that, the fuck? This is certainly worse than Syrian special forces eating live snakes to prove their toughness.



Hurr, it's those evil Jews again.



Neither country has chemical weapons.



Yup. The mirror certainly is damning isn't it?

One nation in the mideast is known to possess sarin; Israel. No other dupply connection can be proved.
The so called rebels are largely Al Qaeda, and we have known it for a long time. Yet they bear arms of Saudi and Israeli manufacture.
Pressure is great to draw the US into further involvement; why? To create another Libya? Can't we learn from even our most recent mistakes deliberately wrongheaded policies?

Jews are great, they helped created Western civilization. Tel Aviv is horrid. Abraham Heschel and I are not antisemitic because we oppose Zionism.

It's pretty well established that Assad has nerve gas reserves. Hell, there's quite a bit of evidence that it's been used.

Blaming everything on those 'ebul joos' doesn't make you seem fringe or chic, it just makes ur argument seem delusional.

He actually made quite a bit of sense there. I suppose Syria is now part of the plan as well. After all, NS rarely talks about it except when weird shit like this happens (ie: cannibals).

Maybe, just maybe, if he didn't blame Israel every time A Bad Thing happened in Syria, people wouldn't be inclined to think he was antisemitic.

[Imperial Nilfgaard]

It wouldn't be the first time the city of Boston exaggerates the importance of a tragedy.

Remember the Boston "Massacre" where 5 people died? Same kind of sensationalism.

This isn't to say what happened there wasn't horrible and sad for the people involved, it certainly was/is, but a little perspective would still be nice.

Talking about what Dzhokar ate for breakfast two weeks later is kind of silly.
The Boston Marathon bombings were not a repeat of 9/11 as much as the media wanted it to be.

Israel is Syria's heavily armed neighbor with a history of mutual violence and distrust. While it may not be correct this time, suspecting Israel is not antisemitism. Now I haven't checked that poster's history, so maybe they are an extreme hater of Jews overall instead of Israel, in which case this post is unnecessary.
But if that isn't the situation, let's please drop the antisemitism garbage. Syria isn't half a world away with tinfoil hatters worrying about Jews putting fluoride in the drinking water, it's a country that has recently been openly attacked by the IDF.

That was never confirmed. *wink* wink*

Ah yes. *wink*

You know if you had anyway of proving these claims of yours, you'd sound a lot more credible.

Not that they care about us oakies over here that much either....

[The Steel Magnolia]

Hopefully this makes the western world more leery of supporting the rebels.

I mean it's a stupid ass reason to not support the FSA mind you and there are plenty of legitimate ones, but frankly at this point whatever works works.

Hey, we're at a surplus with Saddam, Qaddafi and Mubarak out of the picture so we can afford to have Assad stick around, right?

Did I say that we should support Assad? Fact of the matter is that I'd rather not support Hezbollah or Al-Qaeda, and without accurate on the ground intelligence that's essentially where our support would be going.

Apparently saying "US should stay the fuck out of the Middle East" now makes you an Assad "supporter". Don't worry, you'll get used to it. I've been "supporting" dictators since 2003, apparently, because I thought that invading countries on poor intelligence reports was a bad thing, and that we shouldn't act like this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RcI09Uphcs

[Gigaverse]

Just read it on a local newspaper. That one guy needs some good skinning sentencing.

[Arumdaum]

How else will he gain his enemy's strength?

^ This, pahaha.

[Risottia]

Who do you want running Syria? Bashar or guys like this?

How about neither of them?

[Mirage]

I see that as just being very smart, not a terrible crime. War is war, all is fair in love and war. Its a dead body for petes sake what happens to it shouldn't really matter.

Agreed. While i would rather have no war, if it is going to happen nevertheless, you do whatever you need to win or get an advantage. Arguing about ethics and morals in war is pointless.

Again, I recommend you never join a military. Because "ethics and morals" are the only thing that keeps us from being the Fourth Reich.
