Three years ago, the Army of Islam, one of Syria's most powerful armed opposition groups, held a massive military parade that included thousands of opposition fighters marching in formation and a striking display of tanks and armored vehicles at the doors of the Syrian capital.
The parade, held in the town of Douma in the spring of 2015, demonstrated the Saudi-backed group's growing clout in the eastern Ghouta suburbs, which for years were seen as a potential launch pad for a ground attack on Damascus, seat of President Bashar Assad's power.
The Army of Islam now stands alone in eastern Ghouta, its fighters facing a stark choice: Surrender or die.

Cry me a river.
So upon entering this war, Obama gave us the choice of supporting the Saudis and ISIS, or supporting Assad, Russia and Iran.
Flay them alive and hang the bodies in the city square.
McCain, Graham and Rubio are deeply saddened.
Add UN Ambassador Haley to that group.
“” “” Army of Islam””” “
Aren’t the names of these freedom fighting groups so sweet?
Ghouta? I love ghouta. Especially the smoked kind. Yum.
If a group tries to overthrow the US government, it would also come down to surrender or die. obama, mccain, Hillary, and the rest of the democrats don’t believe the Syrian government should be able to hold people to the same standards.
Assad is painted as a bad guy by so many but he is one of the few leaders that protected Christians in the middle east. He’s not a good guy but he’s not all bad either. And overthrowing his government would have made the situation there a lot worse.
“If a group tries to overthrow the US government, it would also come down to surrender or die.“
We can hope.

Cozy place, but the streets await
Prints left by my boot
Stardust sits...
Right on my boots
A soft seat, a checkered plaid
A trigger not pulled in time
A sunny day
In dreams that blind
My blood type, pinned on my sleeve
And my number and rank, there on the sleeve
Wish me luck in the battles to come
Wish me , now, please
Not to lay there in the grass
Not to lay dead in the grass
Wish me luck in the battle
Wish me luck in... the battle
Yes I could pay, but I do not want
To win at any cost
I do not want
My boots on somebody’s throat
I want to stay here with you
Simply stay here with you
But the star up high in the sky
Urges me forth
My blood type, pinned on my sleeve
And my number and rank, there on the sleeve
Wish me luck in the battles to come
Wish me , now, please
Not to lay there in the grass
Not to lay dead in the grass
Wish me luck in the battle
Wish me luck in... the battle

Why not adopt Obama’s principle: no victor, no vanquished.
Obama, the Nobel Piece Prize laureate.
Send them to their sponsors, John McCain and Nikki Haley.
Sorry, my Syrian-specific give-a-damn meter was lost in a tragic fire.
