the sad thing is that the rebels only know how to fight and be rebels…if they do end up deposing assad, they won’t know how to rebuild or run a country…I’m sure that the rebels secondary skills aren’t civics or poli-sci. They will have to rely on people with that knowledge, which most likely will be the same people they are trying to oust right now…what a rub.

Iran can complain all they want. They have no business in what Turkey wants to do along the lines of protecting their border from Madman Assad’s military airpower. Turkey has a right to defend itself and furthermore to set up a no fly zone. Go Rebels Go! Bring the bastard Assad down and bring him down hard!

It’s ok, the US has created a ‘government in waiting’ for this eventuality! They used to call it the NTC, but just recently they realized that they were too marred in scandal, illegitimate and too close to terrorist gangs so the US has recently renamed and reorganized this government in waiting in an atempt to throw of scrutiny before the Islamists seize power.

Like Libya, if the leadership in Syria falls they will be helicoptered in and stage a phoney election. The actual fighters will become the new torturers and secret police or will just begin fighting eachother for autonomous territories.

This has already begun between many sects inside Syria and even in Lebanon and Turkey.

Remember, the only goal here was to destroy the country for Israels sake… and further weaken Iran.

There can be no power capable of defending itself against the United States and Israel allowed to flourish in the Middle East.

The US maintains it’s iron grip on the oil rich area by way of invasion, war and supporting dictators – not by making friends…

Here is the video (edited by the Islamists and voice-over by British activist) that apparently shows… well basically nothing credible at all, just the usual Islamists firing wildly screaming ALLAHU AKBAR!!!:
