Open Question: Why are Americans supporting the terrorist Syrian National Council?

9 February 2012, 8:45 am

The confirmation bias and selective listening that plagues the majority of the American public is astonishing. Why is it that the western media is distorting the truth about what is going on in Syria? PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER IF you are going to use baseless , distorted facts to support your claims and if you are going to be ignorant on the facts, you will be reported/blocked. Why are they allowing for the killing of innocent civilians by armed rebel groups who claim to represent the Syrian people but are weak in actual support in Syria and seen as a terror group by everyday syrians? Why is it that Assad is being condemned for attempting to protect his people from these terrorists who are based outside of Syria? WHY was the Arab league report on the situation in Syria completely IGNORED by the media and by western powers? The report , and I quote, says : "In Homs, Idlib and Hama, the Observer Mission witnessed acts of violence being committed against Government forces and civilians that resulted in several deaths and injuries. Examples of those acts include the bombing of a civilian bus, killing eight persons and injuring others, including women and children, and the bombing of a train carrying diesel oil. In another incident in Homs, a police bus was blown up, killing two police officers. A fuel pipeline and some small bridges were also bombed. " and another: "In some zones, this armed entity reacted by attacking Syrian security forces and citizens, causing the Government to respond with further violence. In the end, innocent citizens pay the price for those actions with life and limb. " WHY ISN'T THE MEDIA reporting this?! Why are Americans SUPPORTING the terrorist rebels and not the syrian people? If occupy protestors turned violent i.e blowing up metro stations, attacking civilians with ammunition, i can guarantee that the American government would react with violence HOW ELSE do you contain these terrorists? Why are people turning their face to this???? Why do Americans then not realize why this "uprising" is only happening in one single city and not in damascus where people are at peace living their lives??!... Read More »
