Aleppo has become a 'ghost city'
CNN ^ | September 26, 2016 | James Masters and Mohammad Eyad Kourdi

Everyone is waiting for a way out of Aleppo, says 28-year-old Monther Etaky, a graphic designer who lives there.

"The city is now a ghost city," the father of a two-month-old boy tells CNN. "There are only ambulances and fire trucks around and over the past three days the shelling has been horrible. "Usually I get used to the barrel bombs and I could sleep normally -- but now I can't -- the new missiles are so loud and horrifying."

Syrian Civil War started by Obama/Hillary after they destroyed Libya and thought they destroyed Egypt

People might have been expecting the USA and/or UN to come and enforce some kind of peace. But they didn’t count on Barack Obama, a worse curse on them than Jimmy Carter would have been.

People continue to keep their children in a war zone in Syria and Chicago.

That city will not be rebuilt in our lifetime. Mr. No Chin, has a country of cities of nothing but rubble. Pretty soon Damascus ....

IIRC, The US told the rebels to leave Aleppo as the city was going to be cleared out.

that would be the good Muzzies that kill the Christians and take over their Towns...the ones we support.

And the US military, under CIC Obama caused the end of the cease fire by an hour long attack on Syrian government troops. So much for the US efforts to stop the war.

"Syria's military declared the ceasefire over last Monday, after a weekend strike by US-led coalition warplanes on a Syrian army post killed dozens of troops."

Actually it's just the song that is awesome, and I am just the humble messenger attempting to spread some joy for those who know the song and appreciate it. Hopefully others who had never heard the song might find it enjoyable as well.

I almost felt guilty for posting it because, what has been perpetrated upon these people by the leaders of this nation, are a true disgrace and yet another black mark against our society as a whole. No doubt I have set off triggers by using the term black mark, but they will just have to get over it.

What has occurred over there is 10 times worse than unseating Saddam Hussein. At least Bush had tried to make Iraq a better place to live, after attacking that country.

In the process of creating untold suffering and havoc in Syria, they not only have made that region of the world much worse, in addition they have all but destroyed Europe in the process.

Yet the presstitudes have not laid blame at the feet of those responsible, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama. They all talk about how horrible it is while giving these criminals of the world a gigantic pass. The same holds true for each and every liberal who remain silent and continue supporting them both.
