The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) currently arming, funding, and commanding brigades of the “Free Syrian Army” (FSA), is designated an Al Qaeda affiliate by the United Nations pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011).

In addition this band is listed by both the US State Department and the UK Home Office as a foreign terrorist organization and a proscribed terrorist organization respectively

The CIA must have finally got him.

Lolz

Assad’s father and uncle had 20,000 murdered in Hama after the city sided with the Brotherhood in 1981.

There are many, many small scale massacres recorded by the UN and Hunan Rights bodies and disbelieved by only Iran, Russia and assorted tin foil hatters. After a recent drought Assad left Sunni farmers destitute – one of the big impetuses behind the revolt. If some denies Assad’s role in countless bombing and small scale massacres – all fairly well recorded, than what can a person do? The bulk of the 40,000 who have died in this war are largely unarmed victims of that man of blood. The body count is comparable to Yugoslavia and Assad could well be engaged in a form of genocide. Genocide does not necessarily mean killing all of a people or religion, just killing notable numbers out of a sectarian motive – likely with Assad and his Shia allies. Yugoslav war had no goodies or baddies. that’s childish.

A tin foil hatter will see the UN and most of the international community engaged in a secret conspiracy against Assad, and only the dictators of Russia and China are on the side of right.

Insane stuff.

Nonsense. Farmers and urban workers left destitute by drought and crony focused reform, means rebels divided into seven notable elements, can still trounce a unified police and shabiha repeatedly. Foreign fighters can barely enter through Lebanon given the effective vigilance of both allies like Hizbollah and the wariness of the Lebanese army. Iraq is now a Shia state, which only permits the transit of Iranian arms and men. The border with Turkey is heavily Kurd populated and while they are ambiguous to the rebels, they detest Jihadists. The border with Jordan is desolate and its government is ferocious towards Jihadists. Nearly all the Jihadists are a small contingent of Syrians that Assad originally supported against the US forces. They have departed northern Iraq, and can pass over borders where the less skilled might perish. There are a tiny contingent of foreign jihadists. Nearly all the murders committed by the rebels are their work. The Ilkwan or FSA would have no possible motive for murders of people they need to conciliate. Assad by contrast hopes to rely on terror against his former people. He should be gone by summer. The Alawites will dump this loser who turns riots into civil war and only decides to consider reconciliation after repeated atrocities.

This very website has a story of an “Irish” citizen who was born in Egypt being killed in Syria,so much for the difficulty faced by foreign fighters getting there.
Dont apply Israeli border standards to those of Jordan and Iraq.
Interesting

He was an Irish citizen, therefore Irish. Saying ‘Irish’ in inverted commas because if birth origins, puts a person in very murky territory.

Arab states control their borders well when they want or need to do. Jihadists always need a new target, so no state bordering Syria will give them an easy time. The Saudis are not bordering Syria, have a mostly flat territory, far south excepted, and have cities with wise straight roads like suburban USA. They prefer to send money, although for domestic reasons they don’t mind jihadists heading off somewhere. The hope the KSA has, is they cannot come home, due to death or prison. There is a degree of proxy war as Iran is Assad’s biggest backer after the Russians and their fine anti aircraft tech. The Saudis appear to hope Iran bleeds in Syria rather than incite Shia in Gulf and their north.

The UN is the US it seems!?

Perhaps but I guarantee they are Russian cluster bombs. Wait till they break out the chemical weapons if it looks like the regime is going down. Lets see Moscow defend that.

& did the Israelis not use actual cluster bombs in Gaza rather than the phantom ones now being reported by Al Qaeda affiliates – so-called ‘ Syrian Observatory for Human Rights’ & ‘ Free Syrian Army’?

I’m disinclined to believe the SOHR claim(private donations from KSA are not proof of pay ops), but regardless of what they say, Irish and other UN officials and other multiple informants support the mainstream stance.

Anyhow, most reports need to be read with a health warning. It is a place of war and chaos, filled with the fog of war, if you like. Moreover, multiple rebel outfits claim, say a tank kill. They can sometimes steal each other videos, simply to better solicit private Saudi and Gulf donations. No initial report can be taken at face value. Ever.
