Liar, Liar, Homs on Fire!

Assad promises peace and delivers death, as more arms shipments from Russia and Iran make it to Syria. The line in the sand has been drawn, western countries and GCC states have no choice now but to take sides and back their choice with action.

Tuesday February 07, 2012

Today’s death toll: 35, and counting.

The pounding of Homs City as well as that of Zabadani and Daraya (Rural Damascus) continues, the town of Kafar Takhareem in Idlib Province is also being pounded.
