I think they believe that keeping the current regime will mean less deaths.
Signed several years ago..??

I don't think the rebels have aircraft?

They are just putting on graphic images of the Syrian conflict on the teatime news, is this just to justify future UK involvement in supplying weapons?

Will this weak inept government ever learn? Spin, spin spin!!!!

Yep, things are getting pretty bad. I have a lot of faith in Abbas and Hezbollah to keep the terrorists under control.

Isn't it ironic that we invaded Afghanistan as it was a haven for terrorist training and now we are arming the terrorists ourselves lol

The Americans have been doing that for years.

That worked out well for them didn't it?

Nonsense, if anything the US is in complete denial on the use of WMD in Syria, they're desparately back-tracking on their 'red-line' statement earlier in the year.

They have terrorised nobody. They are fighting terrorists who WE armed!

Just because some idiot decides to give them the terrorist label does not make them terrorists.

Does Hezbollah behead people = No

Do western sponsored freedom fighters = Yes

So who is the terrorist then? Well it can't be Hezbollah as they have only ever been sponsored by countries who have never attacked anyone in the last 300 years? You fuming yet? so then, who is the terrorist?

Why would a 'peaceful' country want to fund a foreign paramilitary organisation Shaid, that isn't the behaviour of an inward looking or passive state, especially when their proxy Hezzbollah is now intervening in a foreign country, has made incursions into Israel and murdered and kidnapped IDF soldiers, and throws its non-democratic weight about in Lebanese political life.

Why don't you volunteer to help out your "brothers" if you feel so strongly about the situation? Do you even know what the conflict is about?

Imtiaz is a gentleman with impeccable manners.

What have you been doing to justify deportation?

US to give military aid to the Syrian rebels

President Obama made the decision after his administration concluded Syrian forces under Bashar al-Assad were using chemical weapons, a spokesman said.
Cameron making new noises this morning about Syria.

Can't help but think it is going to be another case of the West poking their nose in again! After all as Afghanistan is now all fixed and such a rip roaring success of a mission we need to take the 'fix the Muslim world' roadshow to a new venue!
