In our prayers all… along with their family and friends.

Syria Today: On Ground Updates - March 19, 2013


Wednesday, March 19, 2013
.


    Today’s news of a possible chemical attack out of Syria is a big question mark right now but no matter how we look at it, it is some very troubling news. Here’s what some in the MSM are reporting this early Tuesday afternoon…

.
* CBS NEWS brings us the following report and it starts off like this…
The Syrian government accused rebels of firing a chemical weapon for the first time on Tuesday in the north of the country, killing at least 25 people in the war-torn Aleppo province. Rebels quickly denied the report and accused regime forces of firing a chemical weapon on a long-range missile… Neither of the accusations could immediately be verified, and a chemical weapons expert in the U.K. told CBSNews.com there was very little evidence to suggest any actual chemical weapons had been deployed…

* USA Today has this reportThe Obama administration has no evidence to back up a claim by Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime that the U.S.-backed Syrian rebels used chemical weapons, the White House said Tuesday… A U.S. official told the AP there was no evidence either side had used such weapons Tuesday in an attack in northern Syria, disputing a competing claim by rebels that it was regime forces who fired the chemical weapon… The origin of the attack is still unclear…

.
* The Guardian reports it this way…
Syria's information minister, Omran al-Zoabi, says Syrian rebels fired rockets containing chemical agents on Tuesday. He says the attack breaches international law, and says President Bashar al-Assad's forces would never use chemical weapons. The pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says at least 26 people died in the attack near Aleppo, but the use of chemical weapons has not been confirmed…

My bet’s on it didn’t go down as reported… Or in other words, it wasn't a chemical attack…

Syria Today: On Ground Updates - March 06, 2013


Wednesday, March 06, 2013
.
    The last time I looked and according to the United Nations, more than 70,000 souls have been killed over the last two years during the revolt against Syrian President Al-Assad.
.
    Nearly two years ago it all started with peaceful protesters on the streets but it wasn't soon after that Assad’s murderous forces cracked down hard on the demonstrators and started murdering them by the 1,ooo’s.
.
    The senseless murder by President Al-Assad’s forces on the innocence continues today… not to be left out the million Syrians who have fled their war-ravaged country and are seeking assistance in other countries…

‘Mother of All Battles’ Looms in Aleppo, Syria
Russia Says Tragedy Imminent

* 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. VOA reports the Syrian government is warning of “the mother of all battles” in the commercial hub, home to millions of people. Russia says a tragedy is "imminent."…

……………………………
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.

My Take: Syria - May 31, 2012


My Take: Syria
Thursday, May 31, 2012
.
    This is and has always been some really sad, troubling news out of Syria that really makes one irate over watching these innocent women, children and men being slaughtered in their homes and in the streets.
.
    I’m not sure what it is going to take to make the world wake up and do something besides run their mouths over all this mess… But I’m still holding hope in the belief that the world will finally wake up and step in and SERIOUSLY do something about all these Syrian Massacres/War Crimes.
.
    Yeah… you’re a real hero there, President Obama. NOT!!! You never have and NEVER will be the man President GW Bush was when he was in office either. I say this because President Bush put right ahead of politics and Party. You, President Obama… Not so much.
.
    It seems to me that you’re too dang worried about your reelection this year and the political winds of the day to worry about anything like this.
.
    President Obama, I just got to ask you... How in the world do you sleep at night knowing that 1000’s are being murdered in Syria… and you’re not seriously trying to end it? HOW!!!?
.
    It took the World Powers and bad politics to pull you into the Libyan conflict… so I guess that’s about what it is going to take to get you off your duff and do something this time around too.
.
    God forbid you lose face in the political arena and look weak, again… LIKE YOU REALLY ARE!

My thoughts and more on the tragic, senseless shooting that went down late Saturday morning in Tucson, Arizona

Tuesday, January 11, 2011
.
Like many of you out there, I too have been watching all the news coming in over the senseless shootings that went down late Saturday morning in Tucson, Arizona.
.
As with any past tragic event like this one, the first people to always raise their ugly heads are the stick stirrers. And yes... they are found on both sides of the political aisle.
.
This time though, we seem to find the left out in force on this one and you know the ones too. If not... just start reading the blogs out there or read through the comments on any of the thousands of reports on this tragic event.
.
Just watch/listen to any of your favorite news/radio channels. They will have someone on before long or they will be reporting/talking about it before too much time passes by.
.
What saddens me most is that within just a few hours of the shootings... and without even knowing who the shooter was as of yet... many were already out there on the left pointing fingers.
.
They were/are blaming everything/everyone from right-wing rhetoric, the gun laws, the Tea Party... all the way to even blaming Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin!
.
GIVE ME a BREAK!!!
.
Nothing... Notta... Zilch... has yet to come out to even hint that any of this was so. But they keep on at it... And I believe at their own peril for most of the folks out there do not buy into this kind of rhetoric.
.
Now... if you asked me... Loughner would have rather of been watching something like ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’ than anything on Fox News. But that is just me...
.
Bottom line is that most mental health experts out there believe accused shooter Jared Lee Loughner was likely more driven by a delusional mind than by any interest in politics.
.
Keep to the facts people...
.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those killed or wounded by this tragic shooting and to all their friends and loved ones.

The Fort Hood Mass Murder Tragedy

The Fort Hood Mass Murder Tragedy
November 10, 2009
By Aubrey J. Fawcett
AubreyJ.org
...

Have you noticed these last few days how everyone is treating this terrible event that unfolded last week inside the gates of Fort Hood? I sure have and it scares the heck out of me.

It seems to me that most everyone in the MSM... many in the Military Brass and all those in the Obama Administration are all hell-bent on turning this mass murder tragedy at Fort Hood into something that it was not.

It was not a Criminal Act, people! This very kind of dangerous thinking is sending us back to having a pre 9/11 mindset and we can NEVER... go back to having that kind of highly political... totally incorrect line of thinking again.

My friends... We can never again let our guard down on the actions or ideologies of the individuals or groups of extremist that are out there... hell-bent on killing us!

We can never again go back to having a false sense of security and again treating terrorism as a criminal act.

Sadly... Our enemies see us doing just that. And by letting our guard down... by again being politically correct... like pre 9/11... We have again missed the writing on the wall before us!

So... here we are... again... Mourning our dead and wounded of an event that we should have seen coming a mile away... But again... We did not!

My friends... No matter what your political views might be... One thing is for certain. In these days of fast news and even faster life styles... We all seem to have forgotten those moments in history that so abruptly and tragically changed this beloved Country of ours...

9/11… How soon we forget…
