Civilians or Al-Qaeda militants?

Funny how the AP chooses it's vocabulary carefully

Yes, 13 Al-Qaeda militant children. Funny how you try to defend the indefensible.

The key word is this article is "said" ... as in the following sentence from the first paragraph.

the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday.

All these claims are coming from a British based organization that is supported by the same people who are supporting the rebels.

Do some research on the "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" and you'll see that it's just a front.

And learn to read, the above article is not a statement of established facts, it's merely a claim from a biased organization.

As opposed to NeverSubmt's reports, which are all confirmed.

Assad could simply open up the country to foreign media and pretty easily show his own side of the story and these unconfirmed reports would dry up. But he doesn't, and I'm sure it has something to do with him being a great leader who has nothing to hide.

Drip, drip, drip.... the media drumbeat preparing for a a military adventure in Syria is continuing.

The idea that the islamist regime which would replace Assad if he were toppled would be more humanitarian than the relatively secular Assad regmine is insane!

And to watch Western politicians side (once again) with the islamists who try to dismantle a secular Arab dictatorship and want to replace it with brutal Sharia regime is sad beyond belief.

Have these fools learned nothing from the preivious disasters of the "Arab spring" aka Arab Sharia winter?

@WilliB I agree, we must take extreme caution when approaching the issue. If any military action is taken, it should be purely defensive. Not the dismantling of the regime, but protecting civilians. If we get rid of Al-Assad there will be a vacuum for more of the people we are fighting to take power. It would be good if they just stopped killing civilians, no regime change, or if there must be one, a Western government is installed (as imperialistic as that sounds, it is far better than letting militant Islamists take over).
