الخارجية: سوريا لا تشهد حربا اهلية بل "كفاحا لاستئصال الارهاب"

lol

re lol! what an hypocrit state supported by hypocrit M8....

Yes what's happening in Syria isn't a civil war...it's an ethnic cleansing campaign against the majority of the population which is being funded by Iranian Majoos Filth and their Russian barbarian allies.

It's time to wipe out any remnants of Iran in the region.

OK OK. No civil war. Let's call it butchery. Sound better this way mooo?

People on the ground in Syria are frightened from government forces and shabihha because they slaughter and butcher men, women, children, and elderly, however they are relieved and embrace the FSA and the rebels. Indeed there are terrorists in Syria, and indeed they are being fought, but these 'terrorists' are the government forces and their scum.

Indeed they are fighting terrorists, they already killed more than 13000, didn't know they were harboring so many of them... Or is it what we call collateral damage?

All the posts above condemn the regime, yet a driver by reader who is unable to defend what is happening decided to just vote down the comments. Who is the unknown non-thinker?

Of course it is a civil war, the regime has been warning of it since the beginning now it's wish have come true.

Only if I were a few years younger to enlist in the Lebanese Army. Sooner or later we would be part of kouwat al rade3 in Syria and I just always wanted to stand at a checkpoint and invent new words for ID card so to confuse the hell out of occupants of the cars stopping.

I watched a British sky news report about the last suicide bombing in Damascus... I was surprised about the reporting of a victim. He was a 18 year old Sunni from Homs whose family refused to join the revolt. The "free Syrian army" or rebels, beheaded 2 of his brothers for refusing. He then joined the Syrian army and was murdered in the suicide attack at a bus station. I have to disagree with the Syrian official denial that this is not a civil war. Yes they can be classed as terrorists, but this is definetly a civil war. A terrorist group would only be a few hundred at most. This is almost half the population fighting. When it's a civil war, it's the worst kind of war.

All we should hope for is the foreign players supporting both sides, have a little bit of a humanity and call on both sides to have serious talks. The fuel for this fire is being poured on by foreign forces.

Syria Denies Being in Civil War, Says Fighting 'Terrorists' .....

They are so right, this is why they are committing such UNCIVIL attrocities.

A dictatorship never acknowledges the reality till this reality brings it down.
Using the terrorists pretext and the accusations of conspiracies by Israel and the USA have been effective excuses used by the Syrian regime to oppress any one opposition. This time the opposition is massive and real and the regime is frustrated by the ineffectiveness of its old tricks.
There is a civil war in Syria it is between the oppressors and the oppressed. Barbaricacts could be committed by either side but the regime still has by far the upper hand in inflicting atrocities on its opponents and their civilian surroundings.

But they are fighting terrorists!
They are terrorists and they are fighting terrorists... It's that simple.

hello brothers and sisters of Lebanon,it seems that we haven't learn our lesson yet,i have been reading comments for a year or so,and regretfully we still didn't learn from our past blood taste history of civil war.

@ado.australia: I don't care if Sky News is owned by Bill Gates, if they behave like cheap media, they are cheap media. What's the difference between Sky News or SANA or the Syrian national television in this specific case? These reports are used by Assad to continue using brutal force against a civilian population. It is being used as an excuse by governments like Russia and China and by individuals to give Assad a longer leash so he can kill more. I'm not denying that what you mentioned took place, I am condemning equating these reports with what Assad is doing and claiming to show the other side, then these reports end up supporting Assad when hundreds are being killed daily and children are being slaughtered at the hands of his government and militias. Force brings force, misery brings misery, killings bring killings, but the fact is Assad is a killer, a butcher, and he is the offender.

when you are oppressed, you eventually reach a breaking point. If the syrian population are terrorists and extremists - then, it's this regime which has made them so. I dont agree with terror tactics, but they are fighting for their freedom using any means available to them - against a repressive govt with much mroe resources at it's disposal.
