The rebel forces are nothing more than marauding terrorists. Their tactic is to draw the Syrian police into a fight in civilian neighborhoods.

How would you expect police in your town to react if a gang of foreigners armed with AK47s started running around lawlessly.

Of course the Syrian police must respond, they have an obligation to protect the citizenry from these terrorists who apparently are coming in from Turkey and are trying to turn local villages into their private fiefdoms.

I'd expect them to shut off my power, deny me food, shoot me in the head if I leave my house, and start shelling me and my neighbors indiscriminately.

Did I get that right?

Can you prove the above is actually happening. Or did you just hear it from the same media that gave you the "Iraq has WMD" mantra.

Some people never learn.

If I could, would you say anything differently anyway?

"Or did you just hear it from the same media that gave you the "Iraq has WMD" mantra."

You're probably not old enough to remember the build-up to the war by that statement - it was the Bush administration that gave the world that mantra, the media did quite a lot to challenge them - and then subsequently turn on them when it was proven to be lies.

Every credible news source is against your Syria claims. The ones is on you to challenge the media's account, with proof if you want us to think you're credible.

Just like the Blackwater/XE rubbish that you have now thankfully stopped making. Over to you.

Russian FM Lavrov has repeatedly publicly stated that the rebel terrorists in Syria are not only funded and supplied by foreigners but are foreigners themselves.

Hillary, nor any other NATO country has refuted or challenged his claim.

That's because it's true.

Syria has also provided a list of the names of foreigner fighters it has captured to the UN.

Even Western news agencies have reported that Syria has captured foreign mercenaries attempting to infiltrate Syria from the Turkish border, this is in addition to the widely reported seizure of heavy weapons on the Mediterranean Sea by the Lebanese coast guard.

Even so called "credible" Western news sources had to report the scathing report by Human Rights Watch about the rampant atrocities of the foreign rebel fighters in Syria. Basically they're running around lawlessly raping, looting and killing Syrian townsfolk and villagers. And they intentionally hide in people's homes to try and draw the Syrian police into a fight in civilian neighborhoods.

Since you obviously refuse to even reference atrocities on the government side, shall I assume it's because you feel none are happening or is it a deliberate attempt on your part to not talk about it? If so, why?
