it is because I not only have numerous years of military experience, but a Degree majoring in Political Science and History.

As far as my experience in the military, I can sense when somebody is lying. The numbers don't add up for the Syrian Observatory. When I was in the military, we did After Action reports, documenting everything that occurs in a conflict. The Syrian Army has been giving After Action Reports, which have been checked out by other sources.

The rebels, gangs or terrorists have not been giving these detailed reports and I've found many discrepancies in their reports.

The Syrian Army has been giving detailed reports, which includes the number of rebels killed or captured and escaped, weapons or equipment destroyed or captured, and the results of the conflict. They have also given the exact names of the dead and captured. They were able to identify them from IDs off their bodies, which includes their nationalities.

They have given videos from captives, giving information about the rebels and have released some captives to parents, on conditions. Some of these parents were from Tunisia and Turkey. The rebels haven't shown any of their prisoners, because they kill them. Do you want to deny that? This can be very easily checked out by the parents of some captured rebels. There are a number of ex Syrian-Rebels, that have turned in their arms to the government also, and given amnesty. So that can easily be confirmed.

Furthermore, there is a French journalist, that was freed from the rebels, because the Syrian Government, allowed a 450 million dollar payment to the kidnappers. He revealed everything that happened to him, and described some atrocities the rebels commited involving Syrian civilians loyal to the regime. What do you think the rebels did to those people, including women and children?

Also, how many civilians, the Syrian Army has killed with car bombs? How many priests and journalists have the Syrian Army kidnapped now? How many political assasinations has the Syrian Army committed? This can all be verified. How many people have they killed in Iraq and Lebanon now? How many Kurdish civilians have the Syrian Army killed in this conflict? I guess you have not heard the latest rumors floating around on the Internet about their latest massacre of Kurds? The claim by some Security Council member, it was hundreds of Kurdish women and children.

I have not seen any videos of the Syrian Army cutting off Heads too, Al Qaeda style, by way of the Salafists. Just how many do you think died that way so far, or do you even think the rebels are capable of such things?

The rebels also claim, Assad's Forces are not losing because they are heavily supported by thousands of Hezbullah and Iranian foreign fighters. How many Hezbullah and Iranian fighters have they killed now? How many funerals have Hezbullah conducted now and how about Iran?

How many Syrian soldiers have they claimed been killed now and Shiba? How many Syrian Police Forces have been killed? So we are describing a military, with armored units, Jet fighters, and naval forces. How many villages and towns have the Syrian Army looted now?

Now lets look at this from the Past. Why do you think the Assad regime would treat the Brother Muslimhood in Syria even more favorably than his father? Where were these Gulf Sates and the West then? Where were they during the attack on Iraq? Also, why do you think Assad's regime was different than Egypt, when the military oppressed and jailed the Muslim Brotherhood? Where were the Gulf States, the West and Israel then or now? Do they want to enforce a No Fly Zone over Egypt now? Now to your Human Rights organizations. Just who exactly run them? What countries are they based in? Who exactly are their members and who financed them? Who is the head of the Syrian Observatory and are they members of any other Human Rights organizations? Is it true, the founder of the Syrian Observatory was once affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, goes by a false name, and has membership in another Human Rights organization?
