Syrian warplanes struck rebel-held suburbs of the capital on Saturday and government forces clashed with insurgents on the frontlines, residents and opposition activists said.

"The warplanes are very busy this morning," said a journalist working in central Damascus who asked to remain anonymous for security reasons.

Activists said the strikes were focused on Berze, a northeastern part of central Damascus, where rebels have been on the offensive to push further into the city.

Great, Assad’s special bombs only kill non-Christian Syrians and foreigners. Now, as Zero changes the focus back to domestic issues, and his allies deface 9/11 memorials and wantonly attack and/or kill random white victims all over the country, Hillary can continue to ramp up her campaign (part of the deal she had) as “war hero” Kerry digs himself deeper and deeper into the unmarked grave of the political suicide.

“Residents”? Is that what the mb and al qaeda are calling themselves now?

Rand is one of those republicans that Reagan talked about... a republican that Conservatives agree with about 80% of the time... but his head is up his poop parlor on Egypt. Hey Egypt... GO ARMY!

While Obama has his thumb up his a$$, Putin the Real Leader takes care of business.

This is very cool; I am delighted to see our shithead president finessed in such a way.

This is something I have difficulty understanding. Isn’t Damascus the Capitol city of Syria?

So, if its the capitol city, isn’t that where Assad would of necessity be holed up?

So.......he’s bombing.........his own Capitol?
