Haha, Lizzie is great. She's a lot more fun than that Iraqi information minister was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3LU3fR5PKk That gunfire in the background? Oh that's spontaneous celebratory gunfire over how the rebels have been evicted from the city.

Astonishing for what passes as news and journalism today.

The scenes from Syria are depressing as gently caress, and some of them are gory beyond belief. The government troops are literally slaughtering unarmed protesters.

Brown Moses posted:There's a bunch of videos on this Youtube channel. Wow great to catch on this thread for the news on Libya. I've been offline for a day and 800 posts new. I watched news on my blackberry but nothing was even as close to complete coverage as this thread. So with that Syria youtube channel: What can the government think that shooting snipers into people standing in a street will accomplish? They will all get scared and go home? I mean logic would only say it will piss people off much more. Also the amount of balls it takes to stand in the street when you know the government will randomly pick you off with a bullet to the head is just amazing. I would wish I could say I'd have that much courage.

It's the same as it is everything, scare people into submission. Worked so well elsewhere in the Arab world, I'm sure if they stick with it everything will come up smelling of roses for Assad.

I think she's just a nut, of the "anything the West does is automatically wrong" variety (I think if NATO were supporting Gaddafi in this fight she'd be out there condemning NATO's support for a bloodthirsty dictator, etc., etc.). That doesn't mean that other groups won't use her nuttiness for their own political gain, though.
