Murdering a 14-year old boy over a cup of coffee did them no favors. This put the nail in their coffin as far as the Syrian people go. That's why these vile people are getting their ass kicked this badly.
From winning hearts and minds to eating them. The horrifying video is on youtube for anyone who has the stomach.
Why arm cannibal rebels in Syria, Putin asks
June 17, 2013
by Khaled Yacoub Oweis and Alexei Anishchuk
Amman/London: Russian President Vladimir Putin, arriving in Britain ahead of an international summit set to be dominated by disagreement over the US decision to send weapons to Syria's rebels, said the West must not arm fighters who eat human flesh.
"One does not really need to support the people who not only kill their enemies, but open up their bodies, eat their intestines in front of the public and cameras," Mr Putin said.
"Are these the people you want to support? Are they the ones you want to supply with weapons? Then this probably has little relation to the humanitarian values preached in Europe for hundreds of years."
...
The US plan to arm the rebels also places new doubt over plans for an international peace conference called by Washington and Moscow, their first joint attempt in a year to try to seek a settlement.
