Syria air defense shoots down US drone

Very interesting interview in the sequence of this debate we are having here.

mark 6:45 if you're in a hurry, but it deserves full hearing.

The first part is about the letter from Virginia state Senator Richard Black , to Assad, where he congratulates the Syrian president for his "“gallant and effective campaign" to liberate Christian villages on the border with Lebanon and it speaks about is failure to explain how US government supports the very same group that was responsible for 9/11. Then he goes on speaking about the birthplace of Christianity.

The second part, starting at 6:45, he goes to a very important analysis that I want you to personally ear.

Who's "you guys"? Who are you even grouping me in with? I still didnt hear a denial that the US has conspired against Syria for years

It would be you. You raised the point and invoked the 7 countries claim. That claim occurred under the Bush Administration and we only got one side of the story. Regardless it never occurred under Bush and wont under Obama.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

UNRWA REPORT: Dramatic findings of new Syria report include plummeting life expectancy and looming economic collapse

The average life expectancy for Syrians in 2014 has dropped by more than 20 years, from 79.5 in 2010 to 55.7, due to violence and the breakdown of the country’s public infrastructure.

This situation, exacerbated by the contracting of the economy, is giving rise to localized ‘economies of violence’ – a warning to all stakeholders in the Syria conflict.

The report relates Syria’s decline to the growth of ‘economies of violence’ where national sovereignty, the rule of law and human security have been undermined. Localized economies of violence are often linked to militias, criminal networks and black markets that exploit commerce, trade and trafficking for malign purpose and illegitimate gain.

From the above notice that US Government happily goes throwing military weapons to those criminals.

The report makes clear that while the odds are unevenly stacked, there is still hope of reversing the devastating trends if the conflict can be swiftly resolved through a committed political process that can restore a sense of security, well-being and rehabilitation for those that the conflict has robbed of agency.

But yet, we all know the position of the US government: Assad Must Go!!

UNRWA continues to appeal for all efforts to be made to find a negotiated solution as a matter of utmost priority.

Who is UNRWA:

UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and is mandated to provide assistance and protection to a population of some 5 million registered Palestine refugees. Its mission is to help Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and the Gaza Strip to achieve their full potential in human development, pending a just solution to their plight.

The hell are you talking about? It is happening, just slower.

Iraq's done, Syria's in progress, Libya's been turned into paradise lost, Iran's completely surrounded, Somalia, Sudan, and Lebanon have really taken care of themselves with infighting, so they can wait.
