Yeah.. There's no one with clean hands. That being said though, since there's no one without guilt to "cast stones" we should all be able to sit down and discuss things .. Not.
It's a sad thing to think about and realize, but even two calm rational people can still get into a war with each other, let alone when it's muddled by god knows how much history, politics and religious matters.. I'm more interested in the fact that "religious fundies" are on both sides of the Syrian struggle.. (ie. Mujahedeen and Al-Qaeda are fighting Hezbollah and Iran ) |

Fancy, but possible to get. If he is suppose to be a sniper, than he'd need one. Considering part of the Syrian Army joined the Rebels it is not outside reason for them to have Army equipment.

The Israeli don't take kindly to being fired at, and respond in the traditional fashion. With even larger explosives.

Exclusive: U.S. Sees Syria Prepping Chemical Weapons for Possible Attack:
"Engineers working for the Assad regime in Syria have begun combining the two chemical precursors needed to weaponize sarin gas, an American official with knowledge of the situation tells Danger Room. International observers are now more worried than they’ve even been that the Damascus government could use its nerve agent stockpile to slaughter its own people. The U.S. doesn’t know why the Syrian military made the move, which began in the middle of last week and is taking place in central Syria. Nor are they sure why the Assad government is transferring some weapons to different locations within the country, as the New York Times reported on Monday. All that’s certain is that the arms have now been prepped to be used, should Assad order it. “Physically, they’ve gotten to the point where the can load it up on a plane and drop it,” the official adds."

The real question is, will Russia and China stop to protect Assad if his troops use chemical weapon ? Iran isn't likely to drop him to anything but its support will mean much less if the big supportors stop.

I really don't know what Russia is doing in this. At least, they knew where to stop and tell Slobodan Milosevic to eat shit when he went too far with genocide against Albanians in Kosovo. |
