WaPo,

Ja’afari reiterated his government’s charge that the violence in Syria is the fault of armed terrorist groups, pointing to calls by al-Qaida leaders, including a weekend video message by the terrorist group’s chief Ayman al-Zawahri, for Muslims to support the Syrian rebels.

Now you support Zawahiri and his state sponsored goons.

indeed better links I have done - but truth be told - T West is in your league - slap
worthy? - now I really am done here, you bleeding sod!

who’s T West, dog?

saying that the (to me generally crappy) R2p is identical to pre-emptive war is
pretty dumb and certainly untrue. and going on to say that the doctrine is empty
because no government can predict the future…crosses over into simple stupidity.

my friend, T West what T West has to say here isn’t anything requiring any “duking
out” , he’s about slap-worthy.

you can do better and more than once have linked to better stuff than this.

T. West pulls no punches - he gets around to addressing Commissioner Pillay at
the end of this webcast - tic, may be your fate is ultimately to duke it out with T.
West - watch and leave a comment - but, you ought to try being civil for a change

Well, Pat, I’m sorry for you, but WaPo really didn’t
make up that story and the UN High Commissioner
Pillay really did say just what the report says that
she said.
SANA agrees that she said all those mean things about
the happy-go-lucky Baathist gang.

Pillay

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navanethem_Pillay

is not an employee of the Washington Post, Patty, and
never has been.

tic,

I have lived in Washington D.C. on and off for over 40 years and am well aware of the Washington Post and who controls it.

I’ll stick to the Russian owned media.

Your such a shill, but you you already know that.

UN rights chief decries Syria crackdown, criticizes Security Council inaction
——-

“Standing before the 193-member General Assembly, Pillay said tens of
thousands of people, including children, have been arrested, more than 18,000
reportedly are still arbitrarily detained, and thousands more are reported
missing. Another 25,000 people are estimated to have sought refuge in
neighboring countries, and more than 70,000 are estimated to be internally
displaced, she added.

The U.N. high commissioner for human rights said the use of torture by Syrian
security forces is widespread in interrogation and detention facilities, citing
information from army defectors. She called reports of sexual violence,
particularly the rape of men and boys in places of detention “particularly
disturbing.”

Pat, your faith in the state-owned Russian media is
really touching.

always amusing how people who dismiss western media
sources as “controlled” somehow lap up whatever pith-
puddles pour from the organs of state propaganda sites.

touching in a self-abusive kind of way

Like I said previously dumbass, your mindless blather is just that, blather.

http://rt.com/news/syria-libya-gunmen-mercenaries-643/

yeah shithead, if pravda says it it is true.

you’re such a ‘sucker

dog____-I don’t suppose that you noticed that her lips didn’t match her words.

No spamomatic, the bullshit is all yours.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKZ8ozlzGNM&feature=player_embedded

give it up. the Syrian state is doing the terrorism and
all the bullshit in the Iranian propagandist press wont
change that central truth.

Its much more substantial than your mindless blather.

The groundwork for this latest example of state sponsered terrorism is widely known.

http://english.irib.ir/voj/news/top-stories/item/80067-analyst-us-israel-hiring-saudi-lebanese-mercenaries-to-foment-unrest-in-syria

and what Pat has that to do with assassinated Iranian scientists?  You jump around
like a flea but can’t land anywhere or find much of substance.

would Libyans and Turks lining up against the Syrian dictatorship mean any mean
than Lebanese Hezzies and other foreign thugs joining with the Syrian secret police
assassins?

If the killings of the Syrian regime continue than people are going to come to kill
some killers.

No guesswork tic, you are mentally incapable of finding out anything but your hasbaric fantasies.

dog____ “tic, your calculation needs to factor in those
destined to fall from terrorist
attacks - so far, fair estimate: over half.”

good point and a fair concern.

can you show me what is really a fair estimate of “so
far” that says half?

Pat____ it’s no secret that you’re full of shit and
guesswork offering up as fact.

They’re using the same tactics troll.

It’s no secret that alot of non-Syrian’s are interveneing on the side of the rebels no doubt paid for.

tic, your calculation needs to factor in those destined to fall from terrorist
attacks - so far, fair estimate: over half

as for the poll: So it is with the results of a recent YouGov Siraj poll on Syria
commissioned by The Doha Debates, funded by the Qatar Foundation. Qatar’s
royal family has taken one of the most hawkish lines against Assad – the emir
has just called for Arab troops to intervene – so it was good that The Doha
Debates published the poll on its website

moreover, in the face of blatant MSM agitprop, across Syria, as was the case in
Libya, massive demonstrations (some up to a million strong) have been
mounted in support of the current regime

additionally: the GCC nations are all monarchies, none more liberal than Syria
or Libya - the UN and western hypocrisy on this count is shameless

finally: the Islamists scheduled to be installed will (as they have done in Libya)
brutalize the population far beyond what the MSM-maligned dictators have
done and sell out their people to the globalists

think we’re done here - starting to look like you are a Sunstein operative

PatH—if there are Iranian nuclear scientists at work in Syria being assassinated
then I guess that we should expect that hardly anybody but you knows about their
deaths.

on the other hand, if there are not, why the fuck are you babbling about it on this
thread?

Criminal attack or act of state sponsered terrorism?

http://poorrichards-blog.blogspot.com/2012/02/kosher-terrorists-to-be-delisted.html

I’ll opt for the state sponsered terrorism.

dog—-probably a perfectly valid and impartial poll.

and the good news is that the Assad government will only have to kill or imprison
45% of Syria’s citizens to retain their dictatorship!!!

RE: ...marks a move away from the anti-government uprising’s nonviolent roots. (from the article prologue) - TD is clearly MSM, contrary to what readers are expected to believe

Like, the Libyan cou d’etat, the armed insurrection leading to this one was violent virtually from day one - same model, provoke the regime to react, then immediately escalate to terrorism and overt attacks on police and army positions

TD’s disingenuous characterization (cited above) that his assassination is a ‘turning poin’ demonstrates clearly its role in propagating NATO’s agitprop,  aimed at ginning up cause for another R2P (al a Libya)

as for straw man fictions about those opposing NATO’s regime-change juggernaut, finding dictators ‘marvelous’ and ‘wonderful’... transparent amateur-hour polemics speak for themselves - as for the facetious tone surrounding the ‘well-loved’ remark… e.g.

Most Syrians back President Assad, but you’d never know from western media

Jonathan Steele - http://tinyurl.com/74k3fdm guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 17 January 2012 13.40 EST
Assad’s popularity, Arab League observers, US military involvement: all distorted in the west’s propaganda war

Alas, not in every case. When coverage of an unfolding drama ceases to be fair and turns into a propaganda weapon, inconvenient facts get suppressed. So it is with the results of a recent YouGov Siraj poll on Syria commissioned by The Doha Debates, funded by the Qatar Foundation. Qatar’s royal family has taken one of the most hawkish lines against Assad – the emir has just called for Arab troops to intervene – so it was good that The Doha Debates published the poll on its website. The pity is that it was ignored by almost all media outlets in every western country whose government has called for Assad to go.

[...]

vector—you’re so right. the Syrian Assad dictatorship is simply marvelous and
there’s no reason why those terrible Syrians should protest against it ...or even
resent that Assad had a paltry few thousand of those ingrates killed.

The Arab League dictators don’t represent anyone, but the Assad dictatorship is so
cool and wonderful and well-loved.

you’re so right to focus not on the fact that there is a dictatorship in Syria that kills
thousands of ungrateful troublemakers who are Syrian citizens with the strange
and foreign notion that they should have some measure of human rights.

Citizen Robespierre115 seems to be suffering from a most “rare” condition; a clear mind.

Again, I agree with his analysis.

I smell Libya2 written all over this coup d’état.

Allow me to attempt to punch a hole in the fabric of the corporate media’s propaganda campaign to spark yet another civil war in the Middle East.

1.) They (Corporate media) place a lot of stock in the credibility of the so-called Arab League (kinda sounds like the Justice League).  According to Noam Chomsky, the Arabic League do not, and have never represented the people of the region. Most of the the member countries do not allow their people to vote! Does anyone but me and Chomsky find it ironic that undemocratic states like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar are demanding that Syria hold Democratic elections?

“Qatar is reportedly also involved in order to help smash an Alawite regime and set up a new, fundamentalist Sunni base against Iran. “

2.) the installation by the West and the Arabic League of yet another “fundamentalist Sunni regime” as a counter weight against Saudi Arabia’s and Israel’s perceived threat of Iran (Shia) reeks of “Charley Wilson War”; can you say “blow back?”

3.) Lastly, Obama; a few yeas ago Mike Huckabee accused Obama of not seeing Colonialism through “Western” (code for “White Man”) eyes. Huckabee put forth that because of Obama Kenyan heritage he could only view colonialism through the eyes and mind of the colonized (Mau Mau Rebellion):

http://www.salon.com/2011/03/03/huckabee_kenya_mau_mau/

Obama it would seem has since went out of his way to show the “old” colonial powers (French, British) that he is still “one of the boys”. 

The old Colonial powers with the help of the US and most importantly the Corporate Media have managed to “hijack” the Arabic Spring” and twist it into a tool to recolonize the region.

I guess you demonstrate for your basic rights and
they shoot a few thousand of you, shooting a couple
of them crosses your mind.

Nope, not the US, there’s more than enough guns in
Turkey and cash from the Gulf. If the Iranians send
their goons to supplement the Syrian and Hezzies
goons… kill a whole bunch more anti-regime
protesters, we might end up doing something or other.

Best thing would be if the Iranians didn’t send any
shooters.

“in a residential street in Damascus on Saturday in an assassination that marks a move away from the anti-government uprising’s nonviolent roots.”

That’s because Saudi Arabia and the US are most likely funding the rebels now, Qatar is reportedly also involved in order to help smash an Alawite regime and set up a new, fundamentalist Sunni base against Iran.
