24 قتيلا في سوريا الخميس ومقتل عميد في الجيش "على يد منشقين"

Four insurgent leaders were taken out by government forces in a successful operation, the international community announced today.

what is clear, the stalement is king... govmt bashari forces cannot crush the revolt.. and the insurgents cannot crush bashar so,it will be a dark long winter.i remember shiah/ein el remmaneh initiated by bashar's father hafiz, it is coming around.......

chris, the 4 were activists are heroes fighting for a cause, the general represents the scum of the earth with blood of women and children on his hands. Big difference

Assad the butcher of Syria and Lebanon must go the same way as Kathafi?

what is sure: the general is alawi or from any minority, the four killed are probably if not for sure: sunnis.. so its a civil war.
the weaker syria=the stronger lebanon.. ma heik hassounti??

Cookie, it is not an "opinion" anymore dear, when there is blood on the ground, tens of thousands of people in jails, thousands killed and more wounded, thousands of videos for you to see online, it no longer is an opinion, look at what human rights groups all over the world are saying, they are calling for sending bashar and his thugs to court , these entities do not "opine" , they state humanitarian facts. Perhaps to you nazis/racists and murderers of people are heroes while the opressed are evil. hezbolah used to be decent before 2000 and converted to becoming a sectarian full fledged force post 2005, that is an opinion which btw is shared by the vast majority of the Arab street 2012..on this one yes it is my opinion.

Cookie, there is no pro bashar media except dunia and syria tv, he is up against the rest of the world including the modern world that you so eloquently use its language: english. Watch and learn how even the pro assad media in lebanon will start changing tone in the coming months (you can look at jadeed for instance), watch how berri is starting to vocally say that lebanon should stay away from Syrian affairs (big difference from being pro Assad already), the reason is again: you have no cause no qadiye.. and dictators only enjoy the support of people being paid benefits, no one will passionately fight for the regime (the Assad forces are becoming patheticaly unable to take over bab amr, zabadani and tonite douma! from a handful of fighters) and the rebels will get to his castle at the end like qadafe, matter of time.
