EXCLUSIVE: Syrians warn U.S. that Al Qaeda has hijacked revolution
Washington Times ^ | Aug 30, 2013 | Tiffany Madison

Posted on 09/01/2013 2:07:08 PM PDT by Innovative

Syrians inside the country say the revolution began with peaceful protests from the poor seeking reforms. The movement now brims with violent terrorist operatives aligned with Al Qaeda and Al-Nasra, including extremist fighters from Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq. The mainstream media portrays a false picture of the now-compromised Free Syrian Army.

The extremist elements within are not just minority-affiliates. They win the battles, they have the ammunition and the food. They have slowly filled the power vaccuum and they do not fight for a freed Syria, but to establish an ultra-fundamentalist state.

American taxpayers have fueled the Syrian Civil War by providing $117 million in communications and medical equipment to the opposition. We can be assured we’ve contributed more in other ways not on the books.

For Darwish, his colleague and many Americans paying attention to the conflict, the truth of Syria’s hijacked revolution is no secret. These groups openly declare their terrorist affiliations with Al Qaeda and Al-Nasra online; they are terrorist parasites that found a host in the Syrian rebellion. The mainstream media has a responsibility, however, to report this truth more widely and accurately and have failed.

Christians, non-conforming Muslims, or even pro-Assad villages have been slaughtered.

" President Obama is considering the appointment of Michael Stephens, brother of Christopher Stephens, to the consulate to be established in Homs, Syria following the removal of Assad, sources say."

So he can abandon Michael Stephens when Stephens/embassy/consulate need help. Would Michael Stephens accept such a post considering what happened to his brother; I don't know anything at all about him.

Great name, Capt. Obvious. But how would you like to be named Al Kida for real? There is one in Massachusetts, Hawaii, and Michigan.

What’s his name?
His name is Obvious
How the heck can his name be obvious
Because that’s who he is
Who is he
He’s Obvious
What’s obvious about him
His name is Obvious
If his name is so obvious why can’t I find out what it is
etc. etc. etc.

Neither side is credible, and the situation is really about Iran and its nuclear weapons buildup.

Obama and the puppet masters KNOW exactly what they’re doing. They’re trying to put the extremists in charge.

You may have hit the nail on the head!

I read somewhere that the US has been sending arms to the “rebels” (euphemism for Al Qaeda) in Syria.
