War is hell

[Dux]

GlobalPost correspondent Tracey Shelton was filming a feature on the daily life of Syrian opposition fighters when a mundane chore for the men turned into a bloodbath.

Shelton camped with the opposition’s Noor Den al-Zenke battalion in their makeshift home on a narrow street in Aleppo. Jokes were being told one morning and laughter was in the air as the men cleaned their post. When an alert came that a Syrian Army tank had been spotted nearby the men dropped their brooms and reached for their weapons.

In an instant, an explosion tore through their ranks. Shelton shot as it happened. Of the men at the post, only one survived the blast.

Let me get this straight. A fucking tank is spotted and these dip shits first reaction was to grab a couple of AK 47s , a light machine gun , and stand in a alley way?

Be fair, they had an RPG too.

[tough old man]

They tried. They were willing to stand their ground and defend their homeland.
If anything like that ever happened in the US how many would flee, fight or be sheep?

[Fat Cat]

At least he has his purple drank.

That guy in the last pic looks devastated that he'll have to finish the chores on his own.

Hey, I'm all for fighting, but use your fucking head.

Standing in an enclosed alley is just plain stupid. You fight armor in an urban environment from the roof tops or basements. This puts you out of range of the main gun and MGs allowed elevation.

Also, fuck them Sunis. I'm all for Tha Assads and Alawites running that dirt pile. The same turd burglers that funded the 911 terrorists are funding the rebels in Syria.

[johno]

Oh, no, Brotha Batboy! Them Syrians is Freedom Fighters!!! Just like the Egyptians & Libyans that we supported. You know, the Muslim Brotherhoods...only Good will come from their victories.
All praise to Allah!

True true and true. I was just commenting that with all the weak people in the States I wonder how a similar situation would play out and who would flee, follow or fight.

Starvation and random violence has this funny way of hardening people the fuck up. It's sink or swim when the welfare state goes bust.

Have you seen how many fatasses there are in America? There would be much more sinking than swimming.

I too support regimes whose initial reaction to non-violent protests was to shoot into the crowds and bomb civilians. You do realize Syria was considered one of the most anti-US countries in the world under Assad? As in a sponsor of terrorism?

Non-violence was maintained for nearly a year. The rebels are taking money from whomever will give them money. If you read any interviews from the rebels you'd realize it is pretty clear they are not fighting for any outside groups, they are just taking funds from whomever will give it to try to survive against Assad's overwhelming force.

A modern RPG can kill a tank...








...but only if you get to shoot first.

Fat people don't sink.

Those are amazing photos. There are some ballsy people in the media for sure.

And yet it was people from as our allies, the Saudis and that funded the 911 terrorists and Al Queda. They are all Muslims. They are all enemies of the West and Specifically the USA. I have no illusions about the Asads, but i can say one thing about them They haven't signed up for the Islamic world domination Jihad like their Sunni citizens have. Also, Syrian minorities are not abused and brutalized like they are in almost every other Muslim country. Thy will be streaming out of Syrian when the Sunnis take over.

Same BS was spouted by those supporting the Egyptian uprisings. Now the Muslim Brotherhood is running things.


The devil you know is better than the devil you don't. It's not like I want us to support the Assads, but I'd like us to keep our noses out of it. They are going to hate us anyways. We might as well save our money.

If any thing, we should run some operations to grab Dirt balls that have killed Americans etc. go in and get out while the Asads are busy trying to hold onto their pile of dirt.


What is happening in the Muslim world is the Sunnis getting their shit together (as much as camel fuckers can) and getting ready to isolate and go after the Shite Iranians. With the Bathists and crazy Quadafi gone, most of the Arab speaking Muslim countries in the heart of the middle east will be controlled by Sunni religious governments. Jordan is next, they will have to go. Then you can bet the Saudis nuke up and start fucking with Iranians.

This is like trying to pick sides between communists and nazis. I say fuck them both.

[I'd Hit It]

True story, because the US was instrumental in supporting the overthrow of Qaddafi the relations between the US and Libya are better than they have been in decades and decades. Sounds crazy, but generally when a population starts an uprising on its own, you give them support, and then don't try to take over their government afterwards they warm up to you. It is a bit hard to feed the populace a line about Evil Western Devils Take Over Our Country, Destroy Our Lives when the population just saw said Evil Western Devils give them military support to fuck over their oppressive dictator and establish a government on their own terms.

Where is I'd Hit it? I thought he'd want to chime in how Lybia is a glowing success.

What many of you retards don't get is, the Sand Niggers are playing a different game. Your all fixated on Isreal-Palestine hatred and the USA killing rag heads in AG. Problem is, the Sunnis are playing a longer term game.

What we are seeing is a realignment of the Sunni world against the Shiites and Iran. Part of this process is taking down the various Arab Nationalist regimes, followed by the left over Arab kingdoms. Then they will settle up with the Shiites and Jews. If Syria falls, Jordan is next, followed by the gulf state kingdoms.

This whole fucking mess has to viewed through the Sunni Arab mind set and their desire for the establishment of a Caliphate, elimination of the Shiites, and the subjugation of the non believing world.

Your deranged rantings have convinced me!

A mass conflagration between sunnis and shiites sounds rather awesome to me. Where's the rub?

So what you are saying is that the Saudis are going to get fucked.
