Actually, a year ago I watched an unarmed civilian with his jaw completely shot off by the Syrian Army bleed out. Who are the bad guys again?
Actually I don't think the conflict in Syria was even happening a year ago. And perhaps you would like to share a link to that clip. I've asked on numerous threads numerous times for video proof of the Syrian regime committing the so called horrendous acts of violence they are accused of, but no one has fulfilled any of my requests yet. The best they can provide is witness testimony, which is flimsy at best. Yet here we have numerous pieces of video evidence which show how cruel and heartless the so called rebels are, which vastly outweigh a single video which I doubt you'll be able to dig up anyway.edit on 13/8/2012 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)

That video shows nothing except a recording of the conflict, the assumed fight between rebel forces and government forces. A natural result of a government trying to defend its self from overthrow by terrorist forces. There is no massacring of citizens, no raping of children, no other ridiculous activity claimed to have been perpetrated by the Syrian regime.
Your opinion seems one sided. Don't you think all the shelling the Syrian army has done killed innocents?
I showed you videos of shelling. I doubt if all the people injured by the artillery are "terrorists".

This is what I said in my post:

No most likely not all the people injured were rebels. However the video description clearly states that they were rebel held areas, so it's highly unlikely there would be a high number of civilians in that area. But my point was it shows nothing related to direct and premeditated acts of cruelty and violence against innocent citizens for no distinct reason, as is claimed of the regime.

How do you know that this video was not showing Assad's secret police killing rebels?

I did a search using your suggested terms and the first video is extremely disturbing (I can see why you wouldn't embed that here). However I'm not sure if it's the correct one, because it doesn't show a shooting or any proof of who did the shooting, it just shows the result of someone who had their jaw shot off. So if that wasn't the one just provide a link to the video you are talking about if you manage to find it.
My original point is and has been nobody outside of Syria knows what's really happening.
I think if the U.N. had been allowed to intervene a lot of this crap could have been prevented.
If I remember correctly the countries who vetoed the action are China and Russia but somehow America is to blame?

You all sit on your high horses making judgements about people you know nothing about.
As somebody else stated how do you know this is Syria? How do you know this isn't from Libya, Iraq, or some other god forsaken place?
You all talk about how brainwashed most Americans are by the msm but you are just a bunch of hypocrites!
You see some random video posted on YT telling you what is happening and you automatically take it for face value no questions asked?
I am very disappointed........I expected more from ATS.

You make sense and I'm sure you are correct about most of what you claim.
You guys make it sound like Assad is this fabulous person and all Syrians were happy with their government. Obviously not the case.
Why are so many officials from the Syrian regime defecting? I don't have a list but I know at least one diplomat resigned and a lot of his military officers and enlisted soldiers have changed sides. How do you explain that?

Who said we support this sh**?
Who said we were talking about YOU are any other average American citizen? We are talking about the American Government, along with other Western Governments, whom clearly have been funding and supporting these terrorists and lying to their citizens to hide their atrocious activities.
