The 25-year-old officer offered a detailed account of increasingly brutal tactics used by security forces to end the five-month uprising, including parading women naked through the streets and shoot-to-kill orders against unarmed protesters.

President Obama is BFF for Iran. Where is he at on this? He cheered and cheered while our interests were defeated by the Islamists but he has largely been silent in Syria.

Is this deliberate or accidental?

Naked women in the streets ought to bring he demonstrations to an immediate halt. Believe me, fill any block of New York City with naked women and everything but everything would stop. And they wouldn't have to even be good looking.

But snipers? That's just going to make people mad and then they get their own snipers and start shooting back and hanging relatives til they get confessions...not a good idea at all.

Turkey may complain about tanks and shooting civilians but any word about the naked women? I didn't think so.
