SexyBlindfold posted:i am very sad about Bruno being probated, I would love to see what he's got to say about this new development of the zionist plot A few days ago he claimed he was from Croatia on Twitter, even though he's been posting on the Ron Paul forums as Angry Canadian and his IP is in Toronto. I had some fun today asking him about the opinions of Croatians while he desperately tried to not answer the question and change the subject. Here's a couple of his posts, "Inuslted On Twitter and Threaten with death & Was Added to the egg-troll-4regime List" and this bitching about a blog post of mine.

I'm kind of curious as to the Russian response of all this. Also, what type of chemical weapons does Assad have?

This report of defections is more interesting than a lot of the other ones, it suggests that Palestinians from the PFLPGC are defecting to the FSA. The PFLPGC have been historically been used as Palestinian goons of Syrian intelligence to keep the local refugee community in line, so their defection has implications for the Palestinians in Syria شبكة شام: إنشقاق عناصر من الجبهة الشعبية- القيادة العامة وإنضمامهم الى الجيش الحر

Brown Moses' Twitter Feed is amazing. Journalists from all over the world, plus one 17 year old girl who's obsessed with his avatar. The switches back and forth between typical Brown Moses chat about rumors and FSA weaponry to playful banter about his avatar is jarring.

The chemical weapons stockpile is the one thing that I've really been trying to find as much on as I can. For some reason I have it my head that Assad will actually use these as an end-game middle finger to his people, and to the region, and to the World.

Surely something newsworthy happened if that was actually the case. "Surrounded by tanks" makes it sound like they were besieging the building, but it could just mean that troops moved to positions around the tv station to keep it secure. Maybe there was fighting nearby or maybe it was just a precaution. It's not even possible to ascertain if there were any tanks...

To be honest I think the general media is trying to bunch a dozen groups into one simple package as the 'Free Syria Army,' for convenience. It's just not that simple. There are a huge amount of groups including true freedom fighters, fundamentalists and all kinds of other splinter groups currently in play in Syria, each with their own agenda. I'm really worried about the hardcore fundamentalist groups that have reared their head since this whole mess started.

I was just going to say, getting hit with a 30mm, the chances of your surviving a hit from just one of those is almost zero. So those guys on the ground are probably minutes or less from bleeding out, or shock. e: Total agreement with Young Freud. Pilots are doing them a favor.
