Ben, is it the word "mostly" you are objecting to? Because everything else in the quote has been confirmed by today's article.
Yes, I have heard him say it a few times too, probably on RT. I guess some get upset when you do not obey when ordered to provide a link, or when you POSSIBLY make a small error when paraphrasing someone you heard.
Anyway, what is becoming harder and harder to deny (although some will continue to deny the obvious) is that this crisis is NOT a homegrown rebellion.

YuriOtani,
Jews lived in peace with the Muslims and Christians in Palestine, before the zionists took over.
Why? The US did not do the Jewish holocaust.
No it isn't. Jews are safe in most countries of the world; even in Iran.

Wow, that is almost as much of a consensus as the UN General Assembly resolutions presented every year for over a decade on the Palestine question (the two-state solution, the illegality of settlements, East Jerusalem as Palestinian land, refugees' right of return, pre-1967 border). But for some reason, we never get to hear about this one, despite it achieving greater consensus, year after year.
On numerous occasions we had Ben stating that NeverSubmit was wrong about the Russian FM saying there were foreigners among the rebels. Seems NeverSubmit was right after all.

Assuming that were true. The fact that Jews lived there for a few decades thousands of years ago does not give them the right to kick out the Palestinians who have been living there for the past several centuries to make room for Jews anywhere in the world to move in.
Great points, Zen. If the US truly believed in a two-state solution, they could simply stop all aid to Israel and possibly even sanction Israel until they return to the 67 border and allow the right of return; i.e., abide by international law, Instead we have Romney basically agreeing with all Israeli talking points, including making Jerusalem the capital of Israel.

One must really be going out of their way to avoid this evidence. It is well documented, including by the UN observers.
I am also pretty sure that many (all?) of the protesters that were killed at the very beginning of this crisis were not killed by the Syrian military.
You are correct, some progress was being made.

Considering that two major sponsors of the rebels' are Saudi Arabia and Qatar, this whole mess cannot be about introducing democracy to Syria.
They started it! They have been planning and preparing for it for over a decade.

I agree. But from this article, I am not so sure he actually told the players not to win. After the game, maybe he was just looking for the silver lining, or he might have simply been pleased that they did not have to travel by bus for 8 hours. Nothing wrong with that.

I have come across lots of wild conspiracy theories regarding 911, but this is the first time someone has suggested that they drove a car into the WTC?
Anyway, this American support is far from secret. Hillary has stated clearly more than once that the US will continue to provide assistance to the rebels (i.e.; Al Qaida); she called it something like "none lethal assistance" but considering her history, I suspect US aid is more than just "none lethal assistance".

But Hillary has stated clearly that the US will continue to provide assistance to the rebels (i.e.; Al Qaida).
A proxy to do what? Russia is using Syria as a base. What else did you have in mind?
Yes, and the sooner the better; this senseless killing has gone on long enough.
