Syrian state-run television reported Thursday that forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad killed three Westerners, including an American woman and a British citizen, who they claim were fighting with the rebels and were found with weapons and maps of government military facilities.

Syrian TV identified the woman, releasing what it claimed were images of her Michigan driver's license and U.S. passport. It also released what is said was the name and passport of a British citizen. It did not identify a third person who it claimed was a Westerner.

Well isn't that convenient. Just as Bambi is starting to beat the war drum, a citizen gets killed.

I think we should be arming both sides and let them fight to the last man.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It’s not a surprise that fighting to put terrorists in power did not work out well for these people, and I don’t care if they’re American if they are helping terrorists.

I doubt this woman was a Christian, as the only thing standing between Christian genocide in Syria is the Assad regime. Loathesome as Assad is, he did not persecute Christians; in fact, Middle East Christians were better off in Syria under Assad than they were in most other ME countries.

No, probably a muzzie or she wouldn’t be there. I’m just noting that the demographic in the area appears to be shifting.

I’ll pay for airline tickets if more muslims went over there to die.

Someone online posted this:

“Mylife has a Nicole Lynn Mansfield Carpenter, 33, born in 1980, living in Guaynabo, PR.”

I wonder is that’s the same person.

I’m with you. I can’t believe I’m essentially cheering for Assad’s thugs, but I am.

We should offer free tickets to Syria for any Muslim in the US who wants to go, whichever side the want to fight on. One way, of course.

Yes, and we're on the wrong side again. Russia's gotten smarter.

Syrian forces kill American... citizen... fighting alongside rebels...

Can't be. Any person fighting alongside Syrian rebels *might* have once been an American, but that's as far as I'll go...

Clearly, they've renounced any prior citizenship, and took on (or reverted to) another one.
