Assad's Regime Hunts People in Homs

When the haze dissipates in the late afternoon light, and when the last unfortunate souls hurry across the open space, running in a zigzag pattern, hunting season begins on Cairo Street. There is random shooting all day long at this spot, but from this moment on the shooting becomes targeted. A few people make it to the other side on this day, but one does not. He screams and falls to the ground as he is hit. He was carrying a loaf of bread, something that was no longer available on his side of Cairo Street.
 
Pedestrians are rarely targeted in the morning. But beginning in the afternoon and continuing throughout the night, the wide, straight street that separates the Khalidiya and Bayada neighborhoods becomes a death zone. That's when they -- the snipers working for Syrian intelligence, who are nothing more than death squads, and the Shabiha killers, known as "the ghosts," mercenaries who are paid daily wages and often earn a little extra income by robbing their victims -- shoot at anything that moves.
 
The map of Homs is a topography of terror these days. Entire sections of Syria's third-largest city are besieged. Hundreds of thousands have become the hostages of a regime whose president, Bashar Assad, insisted with a chuckle in an interview with America's ABC News, that only a madman would order his forces to shoot at his own people.

1. US hunts people all over the planet nt

Hunting mass-murdering, unappeasable jihadists is just like killing political protesters.

3. Say "rebels on the ground."

And what state would tolerate "rebels on the ground" ransacking police stations, destroying state institutions, and otherwise wreaking havoc? I know the USA would not.

4. Yep, because brutal dictatorships are TOTALLY trustworthy.

And hey, **** those Arab League observers who say he's just massacring people.

Seriously, it still baffles me that on DU you can hear people talk about how police arresting OWS protesters equals fascism, but people who are actually getting killed by real live jack booted thugs don't matter because they're part of some kind of secret CIA mind control, and all the TRUE Syrians/Libyans/Egyptians/Iranians/etcetera love their Dear Leader with all their hearts.

5. I said no such things.

And please find a quote where the AL observer team is stating "he" is "just massacring people." The head of the team, the Sudanese general, praised the Syrian side for their transparency: "Our Syrian brothers are co-operating very well and without any restrictions so far." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16334352

Would this be the genocidal Sudanese?

6. +1.

Though, I don't recall David__77 saying OWS arrests were fascism. But yes, the disconnect is apparent in other postings.

It's called "hating America" and liberalism grows in it like some primordial parameciaum seeking to claw it's way out of the muck so that it can evolve into something "higher."

The DUmmies have learned nothing from the other countries that have went through their own "Arab Springs".  This time will be different. This time , when the dictator is overthrown, a true Arab democracy will arise. This time, the Muslim Brotherhood isn't behind the protesters. This time the hardlim jihadists won't take over.



*A side note: When I type jihadist, the google spell checker doesn't recognize the word "jihadist" and offers up the word sadist.

That may be a feature, rather than a bug.  Just sayin'.

The fact that this guy is still alive



Kinda kills whatever impact your insipid post was supposed to have, DUmbass.
