I believe Obama just sent 200 more troops to Syria.

What a conundrum this is.

malmo deaths good, a leppo deaths bad. Just so we’re all on the same page. In reality, no one cares. I don’t go to bed at night crying about crazy muslims killing each other. If the entire middle east disappeared, the world would be better off. Maybe Sir Elton John will write a song about them

I've been following this mess with morbid fascination since when ISIS marched across the desert unchallenged and took Mosul. The event was posted on FR with commentary. I'm wondering why anyone capable of stopping it and not doing so isn't guilty of a war crime. Any country whose arms and training created that army had an obligation to disintegrate them.

Let's think logically. Logic is how we first knew it was the terrorists, not the Assad regime or his troops, using chemical weapons. (who had something to gain from it). Logic is that it's the rebels still holed up in Aleppo who don't want their human hostages set free and don't want to be held accountable for their war crimes. Assad's regime has no reason to stop the evacuation; the "rebels" (ie: western armed and trained terrorists") have no reason to leave.

These liberals loved Assad when Bush was president.

There are very powerful people who want war with Russia.

There’s no limit to the number of killings that an African bastard can get away with and yet be awarded a Nobel Peace prize.

The MSM makes it sound like the end of the battle of Allepo is a bad thing. But what is the alternative? Another 5 years of a stalemated war?

I remember Eason Jordan’s confession about CNN’s cover up in Iraq...

But, of course! How else could it be? It is the government providing the information.

Are we being lied to? Of course the media is reporting a lot of disinformation. Why should Syria be any different that the rest of the news?

Perhaps, the Globalists wanted to destabilize the Middle East - failure of the Nation State and chaos is needed to establish Global rule and martial law.

Or perhaps they want to ensure oil for Europe without relying on Russian supplies. Or maybe it all has to do with keeping the illicit drug routes open.

It is not acceptable that they would arm ISIS to go into any country - friend or foe and totally destroy the country.

It’s really pretty simple

One muzloid group is in charge, and another muzloid group wants to be in charge.

The outcome....more dead muzloids. Why should we even care?

What SUCKS is that the Western government/media axis continues to dominate, even with all of the alternative media now available to us.

Back in the 1990s, before there was much of any alternative media, the Los Angeles Times (of all outlets) actually had a reporter on the ground, Paul Watson, in Serbia covering our bombing of Belgrade (and yes, there were only civilian targets in Belgrade...the war on the ground was being fought in Kosovo).

Mr. Watson dutifully reported on the claims by the Serbian leader that CIVILIAN TARGETS were being hit non-stop, something ADAMANTLY DENIED by the US and other NATO governments...and guess what, Mr. Watson’s reports clearly CONFIRMED that the Serbs were telling the truth and that the Western governments were simply LYING to their people.

I give the LA Times (normally a horrific member of the Mainstream Media) credit for publishing those reports...but no one gave a damn, no one was interested, the reports just fell on deaf ears. So we see it again in Syria - our media is TOTALLY UNDER THE THUMB of the terrorists, and the media won’t even mention that, much less not trust them.

I don’t know if the local Russian media behaves like our media, but if they do, I have difficulty getting upset with Putin for some of the ‘unfortunate accidents’ of their ‘reporters’.

Decades ago I went to a supposedly conservative college...and it was conservative, at least as far as the students were concerned. One in a while a liberal politician would show up for a rally - and REALLY REGRET IT. We treated liberal politicians like liberals treat our side...it was fun. But the school had (and I’m sure still has) a “Journalism” department, and students from that department (and from the “Communications” department, whatever the hell that was supposed to be) wrote HORRIFIC LEFT-WING DIATRIBES in the student newspaper. No one else did...other columnists, and the editorial board were pretty much down the center, but I will never forget the FILTH that came out of their journalism/communications majors...and guess where they’re working now.

Also decades ago Rush said that if you ask a Journalism major why they chose Journalism, they would always answer something like “to make the world a better place”. Not report on what’s going on, but to change things. That is SCARY - the ONLY PEOPLE that should be “changing things” through government action are those elected to do just that. Those departments need to be SHUT DOWN as they appear to be a proving ground for the left to keep control of our media.

It’s so hard to get a handle on this but I’m betting “follow the money” is useful. Oil money. There must be a lot of it at stake.

As I was saying, it makes NO SENSE for liberals, who decried regime change in Iraq, to suddenly decide that Assad has to go. Especially after seeing twice already, in Afghanistan and Iraq, who fills the void left behind (Al Qaeda/Taliban or ISIS, it’s all the same.)
