And that's one of the reasons why Syria has a good chance of turning into even more of a clusterfuck even if Assad goes.

Entertaining the possibility that the current Syria government collapses and the degree of the clusterfuck increases, would the Russians still oppose an international intervention. I mean China might only be against it because the whole foreign powers meddling / replacing 'bad' governments thing could possibly (though not really) fall back on them. They might not give a drat once Assad is actually gone. What about Russia?

I don't have a source right now but I heard on the radio earlier that the German Patriots have left Germany via ship and are supposed to arrive and be functional in February. Are they that big? I would have thought they would be sent via plane?

I would not have seen that.





Where does that dude come from at the end? Was he in the tank?

Was Caro's story ever publicized anywhere? Any information I got out of it was entirely from FYAD.

Probably the CIA keeping it under wraps :tinfoil:

So will this end with the MB getting banned again (or at least from political functions) ?

Perhaps not the best model to follow, though?

Is there any proof he is still alive?

Oh he's alive, they're not stupid. And even if they're stupid, they're not retarded. Morsi ending up dead would be terrible thing for the current situation. Wouldn't be surprised if they had him on 24h video surveillance in case he hurts himself.

So in a deleted Channel 4 news blog, reporter Jon Snow alleges that the massive arms depot explosion in Homs last week might have been a tactical nuclear strike by the Israelis (huh?), a claim seemingly supported in the article by arms expert Greg Thielmann.

So, aside from being patently absurd, why would an otherwise reputable journalist write this, and why might an arms expert say such?

You could say that Jon Snow knows nothing. :v:

Actually, how much fall-out do you get from a tac-nuke?
