* NPR.org brings us the following report this Saturday afternoon and it starts off like this… Syrian rebels are taking a pounding in Aleppo, Syria's largest city but they continue to hold some neighborhoods where they've taken control.

My Take:

    On Saturday, July 28, 2012, Russia said a tragedy was imminent in Syria’s largest city, Aleppo. Now the way I see it, Russia saying a tragedy is IMMINENT in Syria is like Saddam Hussein saying a tragedy is imminent in northern Iraq against the Kurds, right before he gassed all those thousands of poor innocent men, women and children to death.

    Like Saddam Hussein, Russia too has no clean hands here, in Syria, for they are supporting this ongoing mass murder by their strong political support and the supplying of arms to this brutal dictator Assad. Not to mention the fact that Russia, along with China, have vetoed three UN Security Council Sanctions against the Syrian regime which could have helped in putting a halt to some to most of all this senseless murder that has been going on for well over a year and a half now.
