    Video from the attack a few days ago where the FSA destroyed 6 Syrian Army tanks/BMP's in Idlib all at once:


    pt.2, the aftermath. 2 captured BMP's it looks like. One normal, and one has a crane:

    In Aleppo where Sunnis live as Alawi, how many Shiites as Christians?
    Maybe someone has such information?

    I'd love to help you, but I have no idea what you mean. Are you asking for percentages on the different ethnic groups in Aleppo?

    This thread is filled with terrorist video propaganda and no one is taking care of this? I thought this is unbiased place, not some propaganda studio for "Sacramento" gresh.

    Geez...

    I love how you put Sacramento in quotations as if I'm not from there or something.

    We've been over this a thousand times. This is a conflict where some view the opposition as people trying to overthrow a repressive government, others view them as terrorists. You're free to express your opinions and show us all some pictures or videos from your perspective. I simply posted videos of the fighting from these past couple of days, which have been the deadliest in the history of this conflict. If there were more official media sources, I'd use them. Unfortunately Bashar barely allows any media into the country, and when he does they don't see what he wants them to see.

    I find the videos quite interesting. From both sides. Some amazing combat footage in some of them. Would 'unbiased' mean that only Syrian government info and videos should be allowed? All those fighting the Assad regime is automatically terrorists - and the syrian army heroes in the GWOT? Hopefully, people here get their news and information about the situation in Syria from multiple sources, to make up their mind about what is going on there. There is always propaganda in war - from all sides.

    I think there is too much of those videos and majority of them are uninteresting (posting some videos from defection last year was ok, but now it is repeating and I found several videos which were half-year old and were just reposted). Quality over quantity is not that bad thing - like IEDs which shows military truck getting toasted do not need to be posted, we all know there are IEDs being used and what they do etc..

    I understand. I'll try to shoot for quality over quantity when posting.

    It depends, some of them are very interesting and actually get the news faster than media-for example I saw the helicopter and air base capture earlier on youtube here, than I saw it mentioned on the news. Some are too graphic-showing corpses burned and people executed is too gore for me to watch. But it is interesting to see combat videos-this conflict is much more classic than Libya which was far more "gonzo" and "mad max" type of war.
