That's not what I'm saying, but okay. What I mean to say is that the FSA and Syrian opposition in general is pissed at Russia for supporting Assad.

And it sounds like the opposition and the FSA are losing ground. So there may not be a lot like previously persumed.

That said, they are resorting to car bombing journalists.

Edit: Sounds like that it was targeted not at RT but government building....

Does anybody know which car bomb that blast at RT is from? The office of intelligence or..?

Criminal Security Department on al-Jamarek roundabout

"The first blast took place at al-Jamarek roundabout and targeted the Criminal Security Department, and the second one hit the al-Tahrir square connecting the Baghdad street with al-Qassaa neighborhood and targeted the Air Intelligence Directorate."

For some reason I don't think journalists were their intended target.

1000 well organized troops with heavy equipment can easily crush 10,000 unorganized militia men with light weapons + 100,000 unarmed demonstrants.

Well Assad's regime was opensly sponsoring terrorism for decades and preaching that its fine thing to do.

It seems that both sides are getting equipment. The fact though that the FSA sounds unorganized is the problem and yes, they can be crushed if that is the case

Well Assad's regime was opensly sponsoring terrorism for decades and preaching that its fine thing to do.

I wonder if the saying "two wrongs do not make a right" still holds true today?

The only modern equipment in rebels hands we seen so far is Metis-M from Syrian army stocks.

I wonder if the saying "two wrongs do not make a right" still holds true today?

I did not say its right, on contrary I hope than maybe now regime will understand, that nothing justifies terror.

Funny. You can see his minders standing in the background at 2:38. Reminds me of when the Vice Channel went to North Korea.

Why is it that only Russian media has any access to tour the devastation in Syria? Barbara Walter's interview with Assad doesn't count. Assad himself said they're approving journalist visa's to "anybody" and yet it seems only media from countries that support him are allowed through. I get the feeling the only reason they're allowed in is because of the pro-Assad spin.

Because Putin's tame pets will say what they are told too.
