Savage Online Videos Fuel Syria’s Descent Into Madness
The video starts out like so many of the dozens coming out of the war in Syria every day, with the camera hovering over the body of a dead Syrian soldier. But the next frame makes it clear why this video, smuggled out of the city of Homs and into Lebanon with a rebel fighter, and obtained by TIME in April, is particularly shocking. In the video a man who is believed to be a rebel commander named Khalid al-Hamad, who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Sakkar, bends over the government soldier, knife in hand. With his right hand he moves what appears to be the dead man’s heart onto a flat piece of wood or metal lying across the body. With his left hand he pulls what appears to be a lung across the open cavity in the man’s chest. According to two of Abu Sakkar’s fellow rebels, who said they were present at the scene, Abu Sakkar had cut the organs out of the man’s body. The man believed to be Abu Sakkar then works his knife through the flesh of the dead man’s torso before he stands to face the camera, holding an organ in each hand. “I swear we will eat from your hearts and livers, you dogs of Bashar,” he says, referring to supporters of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Off camera, a small crowd can be heard calling out “Allahu akbar” — God is great. Then the man raises one of the bloodied organs to his lips and starts to tear off a chunk with his teeth.
I love how it was Republicans screaming, literally demanding, we give the rebels weapons but the moment the obvious problems with giving weapons to extremists pops up suddenly the Republicans all want to claim it was Obama's idea. Like the intelligent people haven't resisted this for two years precisely because you'd have problems like this.
Just another day of intellectual dishonesty for the Republican chicken hawks, I guess.

While the Republicans may be vocal about it (McCain) the Dems are just quietly sitting on the side allowing it to happen.
You really think humanitarian aid is going for bandaids ?
Even Carville got something right when he said either the Syrian government is the worst group in the world and the rebels are the second worst group or the rebels are the first worst group and the Syrian government is the second worst.
We have no friends in this. Just let them work it out on their own, we sure don't need to be getting our good men and women killed over there. Also this is all just part of Hillary's "Arab Spring". Let her die for her cause.
