The reports are extremely conflicting. Its a media war between CNN/FOX/AlJazeera VS Telesur/PressTV/RT.
I know wikileaks revealed that the head of AlJazeera was working with the CIA, he is know resigned. This is after the lies on Libya where after my country bombed the crap out of them, the CIA trained rebels started hanging black Africans leaving entire black towns empty and raping black African woman who survived in refugee camps at gunpoint every day.
So how can AlJazeera be trusted? - especially when Telesur, PressTV and RT are reporting completely opposite stories on Syria. I just heard today on PressTV that 2000 Syrian soldiers and police officers have been killed since March of 2011. The so called "Free Syrian Army" has tanks and armored vehicles. All over Israeli media, they are supporting this "Free Syrian Army". It is also important to note that PressTV has been banned in Britain.
And now my country wants to invade Syria. I am always in support of civilians first. And to support them, it would be absolutely wrong to support a US invasion.
Here is a video from January that is 10 minutes of Syrians who AlJazeera claimed to have been killed by the Syrian government still alive. It's the freakiest thing I had ever seen in my life. If you have the people of Syria in your hearts please watch it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3flBnf4Lb4People are dying like crazy over there, but to believe it is as simple as the Syrian government killing peaceful protestors is extremely naive. It's now a civil war and the people of Homs appear to be getting the brunt of it. For months and months the people of Homs have been begging the Syrian government to take out the mysterious gun men who have taken over - who we know know as the "Free Syrian Army". Now many civilians are probably being caught in the crossfire. In the video I posted above family members are claiming their loved ones died from these men. But none of this comes out in western media, whose militaries are inching to invade.
Two days ago a french report was killed by the FSA.
Here's a video showing 8 American countries in support of the Syrian government. China and Russia are also in support.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcLIMjdD ... r_embeddedI dont find myself agreeing with Israel and Obama (and his corporate media) on this. I think we are being lied to unlike anything we have ever been lied to before, just like Libya but worse. We should do everything possible to stop a US invasion as it will mean the deaths of so many innocent civilians.
p.s. The media is going berserk. We are hearing nothing about the peaceful protestors being killed in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the protestors being killed n Cairo in the last 3 days. We are only hearing the twisted stories about countries Obama wants to invade, and its so creepy how Israel is always cheering it on. Since when did Israel give two duckets about Arab liberation? Something IS OFF.
Check out Telesur, PressTV, and RT to balance out your perspective. Those are news networks from 3 different continents. Im sure China is reporting the same, but I cant understand the Chinese language. On this issue Im going to stick with Antigua and Barbuda, Bolivia, Cuba, Dominica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Venezuela, China and Russia on this one. There are more countries as well supporting the Syrian government on this. The only ones against Syria are Israel, Obama and probably Britain.
Ok, when i read this i had to say something,
I

YOU HIDDEPALM
YES YES YES YES YES you are 100% right, this is exactly how it is, i know it since america fu*ked up iraq,
I did not know how to word my thoughts, but you wrote exactly what i was thinking.
Most people just believe the news, while i read Russia today and keep contact with my nephews in the syrian army,
you know what is a joke, the ``free syrian army aka TERRORISTS`` are supposed to be military against bashar, and everyone believes it,
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, now thats a joke.
Serious if the world would have more people like you, it would be a more peacefull place,
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY
Thanks friend, that means allot. Let me tell you, the lies are so incredible so strong, it was not easy to learn the truth. I just wanted to elaborate, I am not a supporter of Bashar, not was I ever a supporter of Gaddafi. But I was never in support of invading Libya, and I am definitely not in support of invading Syria or to learn that my country is arming Obama's Proxy Army (Free Syrian Army) through turkey and probably Jordan. I truly feel ashamed to know my tax dollar has went to this, and I just want to apologize now for all the pain your family is going through and all the pain that is to come.
It's disgraceful how Obama's proxy Army is now shelling Aleppo and innocents are dying again. I am sure this is being reported on corporate news as the Syrian government committing these atrocities, but FSA already took credit for it, even though they retracted an hour later - probably because Obama/Pentagon/NATO called someone.
America, is also something I want to elaborate about. I am a very proud American. When I say and use the word America, I use it in its proper form - "América". America is not a country, it is 3 continents. When I say I am a proud American, I am actually saying I am proud to have parents from Latin America, and proud of what ALBA (Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America) is doing. ALBA is in support of the Syrian government by the way, not Obama's proxy Army. I am not proud to be a United Statesian, it's embarrassing to have been born here, and I constantly chastise my parents as to why on Earth would they leave paradise to come here, even the Native Americans said this place was cursed. I come from the poorest district of the country, and my peoples of the South Bronx have paid for these illegal wars and imperialist occupations more than anyone else in the US! And for this it shames me to be a United Statesian, but I am a very proud American.
Malcolm X studied the entire dictionary because he felt it was important to conquer the language. And I am doing so.

So when you critique the United States, please call it by its name, and not America. Manifest Destiny has officially died in the last decade. Manifest Destiny was the belief that the entire half of the planet belonged to the United States, hence the empire took the name "America". That imperial dream has died. Latin America is on the rise, leading the world in state of the art, never before seen in human societies, unprecedented advances in democracy with beautiful examples of peaceful democratic revolutions with female and indigenous Presidents popularly elected by the People. And those People get to vote all the time (numerous times a month) on every policy unlike in my country where we vote only once every 4 or 2 years for who ever the TV tells us to - the same TV that gave us Bush and Obama. The same TV that lied to us about Iraq have weapons of mass destruction, the same TV lying to us today that Iran will have weapons of mass destruction the same TV that says Gingrich, Obama, Bush and Giuliani are credible human beings. Its disgusting and so many are dying because my people in the states dont know what to think, they just follow corporate TV. They will watch anything.
Right now in the past 2 days, Obama is trying to beef up the military in Asia, punishing another whistle blower who took a stand against Obama's secret torture practices, bombing Pakistan again, killed more civilians in Afghanistan, and bailed out the banks yet again ... and now his proxy army is shelling Aleppo. Things are really, really bad. =(
Not only that, Black African women who survived the Obama bombs in Libyan refugee camps are still being raped at gunpoint everyday ....
Solidarity to your family in the front lines and to all civilians in Syria, this is a very ugly situation, from an American. Somehow, at the very least I hope humanity learns something from all this and that future generations wont be so easily manipulated into these horrors. Blessings.
