May 30, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - A spokesman for the primary rebel alliance in Syria, known as the “Free Syrian Army,” threatened that opposition forces could start implementing a broad ethnic-cleansing program aimed at Shia Muslims and especially the Islamic Alawite sect to which dictator Bashar al-Assad belongs. As Obama administration-led Western powers and a coalition of Sunni Arab dictators continue to fuel the increasingly ruthless conflict, the rebel FSA spokesperson said in a TV interview that minority communities would be “wiped off the map” if the regime’s forces managed to capture the city of Al-Qusair.
The genocide announcement came shortly after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blasted his Senate Foreign Relations Committee colleagues for voting to arm the rebels, many of whom openly fight under the banner of al-Qaeda. “This is an important moment,” Sen. Paul said about the vote. “You will be funding, today, the allies of al Qaeda.” While the U.S. government has been supporting the opposition since before open warfare began, Obama has ramped up that support to unprecedented levels. And now, a Senate committee has expressed its backing for arming groups that openly threaten to exterminate minorities.

Syrian Rebel Alliance Openly Threatens Ethnic Cleansing..
Makes you ashamed to be an American because our Government Recognizes and Supports these people as freedom fighters instead of the Terrorist they really are.

Ahh.. So now they come out and say it bluntly. It's about time. They are about taking the Shia out of power, world wide. Syria is one of only a couple nations left where they still have anything like that. When Syria falls, it'll be Iran.
So..I wonder, if they start wholesale slaughtering civilians just for the fun of it .....will we still be paying them millions in support and singing their praises? They've already shot Syrian prisoners to bloody pieces and laughed about it...before releasing the video as if it were a recruitment effort. It doesn't surprise me that they consider just outright wiping out the Shia now, rather than waiting.
I think the morons in Washington have a VERY dangerous Tiger by the tail. They've helped raise it, they've fed it and they've nurtured it. Someday it will turn on them and eat them whole, too. Fools and morons. Our national leadership is full of both.edit on 3-6-2013 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)

and yet McCain goes in there and has his picture taken with the rebels, pretending he is their buddy, and knows their true motives, funny how that hasn't come up yet in this thread. no mixed message with that, right?

Whatever did the world do before the US?
Oh that's right. Fought like kids on a playground and killed each other. Nothing has changed nor will it, even if we intervened in some way.
Why the outrage now? Why should I care what the Syrians do with their civil war? Does it affect my ability to pick a tomato off a plant, slather some mayonnaise on a piece of bread and have a tomato sammich?
I know I am tired of war just to produce jobs here in the US. Seems to me we have been running red hot for decades now and seriously need a break...

So easy to make with a blender
Now if they rationed butter, I'd be a little sore...
Who were the ones that had AND ARE STILL ethnic cleansing right now in Syria?
