9. "as a last defense against government forces if their positions were falling"

which is when everything turned, after the got their ass kicked in Homs. Do you have links to those videos? I have some of the more gruesome ones, especially several cannibalism ones that Putin threw in Cameron's face during a joint press conference. Those videos were hard to watch but they're important. If you have links, would you PM them to me please?

Here's an excerpt and a video about that press conference I'm talking about since it came up.

In icy exchanges at a press conference, Putin said: "You will not deny that 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. Are these the people you want to support? Is it them who you want to supply with weapons? Then this probably has little relation to humanitarian values that have been preached in Europe for hundreds of years."

Imagine what a speech Kerry could have given if it wasn't the rebels massacring and cannibalizing people. Congratulations on the *democracy*. It's no wonder we have certain people fighting foreign news sources here. There's not enough support for another war as it is. Imagine if the truth got to us.
