U.S. Backed Moderate Rebels Put Alawite Women in Cages to Protect Themselves from Airstrikes
The Arab Source ^ | 11/01/15 | Leith Fadel

Posted on 11/01/2015 11:38:42 AM PST by Enlightened1

In order to deter the Syrian and Russian Air Forces inside the East Ghouta (collection of farms) region of rural Damascus, the U.S. backed moderate rebels from “Jaysh Al-Islam” (Army of Islam) and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) have placed kidnapped Alawite women in cages to protect themselves from airstrikes.

The U.S. backed Syrian Opposition’s social media activists posted the photos of the six kidnapped Alawite women on Twitter, adding their extra commentary that included sectarian insults to degrade the helpless women and taunt the Syrian President Dr. Bashar Al-Assad.

This is not the first time that the U.S. backed moderate rebels have used the Syrian people as human shields in order to deter airstrikes; however, this blatant disregard for human life has contradicted their alleged ethos to protect the Syrian people and put an end to the government of Dr. Bashar Al-Assad.

The six women were not identified by the U.S. backed moderate rebels, but they were described by the aforementioned Islamists as Alawites, per their sectarian insults they directed towards the kidnapped civilians.

Last month, the U.S. backed moderate rebels posted pictures that displayed their fighters posing with the mutilated heads of deceased Syrian soldiers; these pictures were followed with multiple videos from the Islamists that contained death threats to the Alawite Muslims of Syria.

And the same crap from Romney would have been much more acceptable and less destructive.
You’ve claimed such.
Just look at the success of Massachusetts!
Why, a veritable paradise!

BS. One some level even you’re smart enough to realize Romney wouldn’t have been as destructive to the country as Obama.

He couldn’t have governed the nation like he did as gov of MA. Very different political circumstances, obviously,

Uh, yes he would have.
He’s a liberal.
Liberals never move rightward, ever.

For me, Romney’s conservatism was pretty much confirmed when he said in May of 2012 that two people of the same sex who “love each other” should be able to adopt children.

Do I need a sarc tag? And why would we defend such a person, who wants to put children into the hands of mentally ill perverts?

Yeah, I’m done voting for liberals.

"Yeah, the country is dealing with it. In the form of a tsunami of destruction from Obama."

That's what happens when we nominate moderates/liberals to run against Democrats. They lose. Over and over again, history proves that we win only when we nominate a solid conservative.

Yet over and over again, we fail to learn the lesson, and we put the blame where it doesn't lie.

Moslems are Moslems and will prove it eventually, even the Kurds. For the moment they are between and fighting two inimical would-be Caliphates and will take what allies they can get and will protect the Yazids and Christians to enhance their value to the West and get more fighting men. So long as they are ethnically persona non grata in the ME to everyone else they will be good allies. Pray that the Kurds stay safe and do not conquer.

Clinton moved rightward after the pubs took over the house. Politicians aren’t free to just govern however their heart tells them to. They are subject to political forces that are real and that influence what they do.

What ‘protest vote”? I dont do anything that stupid. That’s your crew’s logic.

I vote FOR what I believe in or I don’t vote and play childish rationalization games as to why. I am a person that believes in the values of conservatism. So I vote to advance those values by voting for those that share them.

If people arent mentally compitent enough to understand that their vote empowers who and what they vote for, those people should be legally stripped of their vote because they are unfit to be entrusted with something that powerful.What you vote FOR is what your chosen candidate represents. Your chosen candidate represented liberalism because his actions were one of a liberal.

One does not ‘protest vote’ that. One votes FOR people better suited to lead the country than two liberals or they contributed to the problem.

Facts are facts. The above is factual. Go find one constitutional or civics expert to tell me that the above is in any way incorrect.

No, he did not.
He took credit for what the house did.
He himself did not move rightward.

As per Norm's being right that these "conservatives" and Republicans actually they want what Romney offers ...

... the next step is to abandon the Republican party.

Seriously. Now. On the off-chance miracle that Cruz gets the R nomination, all bets are off, but his nomination is highly unlikely, let's face it, and we know what "choice" we'll be looking at: Pepsi brand bigger government, or Coca-Cola brand bigger government.

It's pretty clear now, apparent here now, that as long as a guy like Romney finds a home in the Republican party, then the Republican party is the wrong party.

It's already clear, very obvious. Yet it's the elephant in the room, taboo. Levin, Rush -- hold-up-the-cross taboo talk.

Like watching a train wreck sometimes! These people seriously think they can avoid being accountable for what they voted for, by claiming that they were instead voting "against" evil incarnate.

They want to say if it wins, "Don't blame me for all the leftism Romney has wrought -- I was just voting 'against' Obama!"

That is "Republican" these days and in spite of what he says, Rush is still the water carrier.

Just venting!
