IF they have gone in to do this, and we have no way of knowing at this point, I pray they will be successful.

I hate war, even necessary war, and I fear we are being betrayed by the Obama administration. There are reports on the ‘net that he is supplying the rebels, and that they are behind the WMDs, including the use of Sarin

I also pray that I am wrong.

“Coming to a country quite near you in the not too distant future. “

If you’re referring to the United States - sorry, can’t happen. We have TONS OF REDUNDANCY in our system.

(at least that’s how 99% of the country sees it - us other 1% prepare because we know it’s simply a phone call from fed-gov to shut it down, if even that)

Appears to be valid news.

French (via France24.com) article (sourced by AFP) on this:

Syria drops off Internet, reasons unclear

Enough action there now, and maybe it’ll be a nice, quiet place to herd goats someday.

Is that a picture of Kerry showing his latest combat wound before going in for treatment.

I know, his wounds are always microscopic and leave no noticeable scars.

Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

Syria is trying to prevent movements.org from using the same game plan they used in Egypt and Libya. Using Obamaphones to coordinate attacks and flash mobs. Movements.org has a backup plan if twitter is taken offline I don’t know how it will work without the internet. I guess with enough satellite phones it would slow them but not stop.

Toronto Star had an article on this situation this morning.

There has been speculation that the Syrian government did this as part of an offensive against the rebels.

Syria’s Internet goes dark as troops push into strategic town on highway to Jordan

Article is pretty ancient right now -- 2 hours old...
