It's obvious from the above that the rebels and NATO are allies and Hillary has been hell bent on bombing Syria since this all started.

Now they have the gall to openly discuss an illegal attack on a sovereign country in defiance of international law and the United Nations.

Hillary is planning to resort to such extreme measures because despite what western "experts" claim, the Syrian army is very cohesive and is poised to defeat the rebels.

For those with a memory you'll recall that pundits were claiming that Syria was on the brink of collapse even as far back as last summer. The Syrian army, especially the elite units are firmly intact and winning almost every battle.

Hence Hillary's desperate move to cobble together a coalition of the willing (2 countries) to start yet another illegal armed adventure against a sovereign country.

Too little, too late. Now it is time for the countries in the neighbor to do something. Keep the USA out of it.

I like the Orwellian doublespeak terminology of "no-fly" zone, which actually means that only the biggest bully on the block will be allowed to fly and the people on the ground will be bombed to smithereens.

This is a bad situation, but I want to hear why the Chinese, Russians and Iranians support Assad. The people on the ground hate him, but the Chinese, Russians and Iranians do not care?? No surprise, since they also do not care what their own people think about Beijing, Moscow and Teheran, right??

Why? Follow the money! The three Russian ships that arrived recently in Syria certainly were not full of boxes of vodka and Russian tea cakes.

"the biggest bully on the block"

Yeah, well, Assad's a smaller bully Comrade.

Why are you absent from the Russian threads anyway? To follow your twisted logic the UN should be arming the Russian opposition being crushed by your dictator Putin.

Are you living in an alternate universe where the Syrian government isn't doing this right now?
