#2 "shells lobbed onto civilian targets" Thats where the rebels are. Standard operating procedure. Dress like women also. Now for the bunny rabbit killed reports. Dirty little war.

#6 Soodies give assistance to ~~Sunnis~~, rebels and Iran/Russia to Alawites/Baathists, Glenmore. Just sit this one out. If you (USA) can't just sit, assist Kurds.
