Syrian rebels accuse UN of working with Assad

    Syrian rebels under the bizarre impression that the UN is collaborating with Assad have kidnapped 20 peacekeepers from the Golan Border.
    "The United Nations is helping the forces of the regime to enter the village of Jambla and they are professing that they are 'disengaging' in the Golan... These are the helpers of the regime entering Jambla."

    It is is unconscionable that the West is supporting these mentally deranged crackpots, and now Obama and his cohorts think pumping more arms and heavier weapons into Syria will help what they call "moderates" achieve a military settlement. The fact is neither side has shown the muscle to deliver a fatal blow and it seems more likely that if both sides step up the use of heavy weapons that this will only lead to mutual destruction. There is also very little that can be done to prevent arms from gravitating toward the mentally deranged rebels and that should be a much greater concern for the West according to one UK MP:
    A Conservative MP has cautioned the government against arming opposition forces in Syria, warning that weapons could fall "into the arms of terrorists".

    "I advise caution," Mr Baron said... We may be supplying the terrorists of the future...

    Has there been any precedents in recent history of blowback from arming, training and supporting Islamic terrorists by the US?

    Is it possible that succesive administrations are so incredibly inept that they can't foresee the consequences (nevermind the negative harder to predict consequences - Mali etc) or could it be possible that the creation of enemies is the desired effect as it gives cause for interventions and creates a "threat" which justifies inflated budgets?

    Vitaly Churkin UN security council chairman stated earlier this week "Someone is trying really hard to blow this crisis up".
    Goes to show how desperate the situation is in Syria.

    Lebanon or Iran to explode next is what I am wondering. No doubt if it is Lebanon we will have another bunch of mercenaries leaving from here, though I would bet heavily they are already operating/ready to operate there.

    I am angry at the situation of the 16 year old Meath student from LIBYA in Al Haratne's Islamic Ummah brigade who has died in Syria.

    Nations need to address properly that with the refugees created from each crisis in the last 20 years there has been created a large amount of young men looking for mercenary money and any real reason to fight: democracy, Islam, "Freedom".
