Syria says Goodbye to Mishaal!


Saturday October 8, 2011

Friday’s death toll rises to 24 --- Syrian dissidents and activists storm their country’s embassies in London and Vienna and attempt to do in Berlin and Brussels --- 14 protesters are killed as pro-Assad militias open fire on funerals in Homs City, Douma Suburb and Qamishly where 50,000 Kurds took part in the funeral of slain activist Mishaal Tammo. Meanwhile, pro-Assad troops continue to clash with defectors in Idlib, Hama and Homs provinces in central and northern Syria --- Continued wrangling over the roles of different personalities in the SNC leadership leads to the postponement of the scheduled October 7 coming-out party in Cairo.

“Violence won the Libyan rebels NATO backing, while peaceful demonstrations earned the Syrians the world’s sympathy​—​tender mercies that they risk forfeiting, explained Ford, should they pick up weapons in self-defense... The fact is that Syria is already embroiled in a conflict that shows no signs of abating. The United States​—​with allies on all of Syria’s borders and U.S. soldiers and vital American interests in Iraq​—​has a stake in what happens in Syria. It’s time for the White House to get serious about the dictator in Damascus.”

Sympathy without support is leaving us alone to face a merciless killing machine…
