Syria had accelerated its killing of protesters after the Arab monitors arrived, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations said. Ambassador Susan Rice, "The under-secretary-general noted that in the days since the Arab League monitoring mission has been on the ground, an estimated 400 additional people have been killed, an average of 40 a day, a rate much higher than was the case before their deployment," Syria says it is facing a wave of "terrorism" by Islamists armed and manipulated from abroad who have killed 2,000 members of the security forces. Assad said in a speech on Tuesday that his country was the target of a foreign conspiracy.

Crocodile tears from Assad. Rab sees about 6 dogs in this fight, more than one frothing. Stirr the pot, but stand clear. R.

So much for tolerance to dissent. At least in the west you won’t literally lose your head for not agreeing with the powers to be. Muslims do not tolerate dissent in any form, regardless of what they tell you. Theirs actions bear this theory out.

Thanks Rabin.

Syria had accelerated its killing of protesters after the Arab monitors arrived, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations said... Syria says it is facing a wave of "terrorism" by Islamists armed and manipulated from abroad who have killed 2,000 members of the security forces.

Yes, it's true -- the government of Syria, which has become a proxy for the Iranian mullahcracy, carries out the immediate murders of defectors, and all 2000 dead Syrian security forces members have been gunned down by obedient Syrian security forces.
