Syria. Says it's at a stalemate and that somebody needs to bomb something to move it along. And we need to arm the rebels. Ready for another war?

(952 posts)The FSA remnants are having a rough time of it. Their usual swagger reduced to bombing mosques and ethnic killing.
Two years into the conflict there are still no field hospitals. The fighters have seen thousands become martyrs over insignificant wounds. It's almost as if Jordan, the gulf states, and Europe are sending their surplus population of extremists on a one way trip.
The Syrian war is unique in that is one of the most filmed wars EVER.
There is amazing battle footage coming out every day, picture a front row seat at the carnage of WWII.
Google has thousands of hours of Jihadi and SAA propaganda.
There is a dedicated channel on Liveleak.

The NYT embedded with Terrorists. Completely without moral compass. Makes Judy Millers work look saintly.

These people just keep on spouting the same bullshit, and there is never any accountability. He shouldn't be anywhere near a microphone again. He has no credibility.
