    you must be living under a rock. Benghazi was going to get over run before the NATO stepped in.

The group responsible are from Homs apparently and are Jihadists. Maybe they just don't care about collateral damage or thought it was a Shia area of the city and considered all as targets. It's hard to tell with the extremist mind.
    farking Islamist terrorist scums detonating a 2000lb bomb during rush hour needs no defense.

They have been on that list for more than 30 years. For sensible people would disagree with it - there is ample eveidence of Syria's involvement in terrorist funding, support and actions all over the world. Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.. and others have office, train operatives and recieve funding from Assad.

    I have no doubt that there are Jihadist groups fighting Assad in Syria who do use what plainly are terrorist tactics. But every citizen that takes arms against a despotic, brutal, cruel and utterly corrupt regime is not a terrorist by default as you seem to be claiming.
    Have you heard of the Islamic insurgency in Algeria? Started when the government canceled election results.

    So those "Green Logo Guys" are the Al-Nusra Front to Protect the Levant. They post their videos on the same Al-Qaeda website as the Iraqi insurgents. They're from Homs and pretty shadowy. Not a lot known about them besides they have resources and know how to fight.

    The prototype of the Arab Spring. Like the Spanish war was for fascists.

    And if he hadn't used anti aircraft guns and grads on demonstrators then NATO would never have got the mandate to intervene. He planned his own funeral.

    Yea...more stories about Grad. So what was the lesson for Assad again? That NATO is waiting in the weeds to launch an attack on Syria? don't hold your breath mate. If there's any lesson from Libya for Assad, it would be to prevent the Islamists from gaining any foothold within Syria, as was the case in Libya with Benghazi.

    Green Logo guys again with two daisychained ieds



    And a handy instructional video on how to make an IED that isn't quite big enough.



    Syrian soldiers at the scene of one of their own blown up BMPs - the filming is possibly clandestine by a soldier with divided loyalties as he seems to be keeping the camera out of sight.

    That's the Al-Nusra Front to Protect the Levant^. They're an AQ-franchise start up. No word how much actual connection they have with Ayman al-Zawahiri's AQ, but I'm sure they got pals in Iraq.

    And a handy instructional video on how to make an IED that isn't quite big enough.
    Uhh..tell me again how it's handy? These guys are clearly Islamists who really don't care about freedom or secularism. They're doing it to avenge Sunni's.

    Syrian security forces armored vehicle firing at cameraman who must have some damn good cover. Either that or the turret gunner sucks at aiming:

    Funeral prayer in Tripoli, Lebanon for the Syrian's killed there during clashes:

    Syrian security forces suppressing peaceful student-led demonstrations at Aleppo University only days after they shut down the campus, shot up protesters and torched the dormitory's. I guess the students aren't giving up:

    Security forces chasing and beating protesters at Aleppo University:

    Syrian Army convoy rolling around Hama. Looks like maybe it's a mission to retrieve damaged vehicles since there's a tow-truck with 2 technicals, one of which is really shot up:
