aerial bombing, tank shelling, etc. Are you claiming that getting killed by a car bomb is somehow worse than getting killed by a bomb on your neighborhood by a jet?

None of the human rights organizations deny that the rebels have committed war crimes. They just state that the Assad regime has committed the 'vast majority' of them. While the SOHR details these crimes committed by rebels, no one from the government ever seems to get around to acknowledging the regime's war crimes. Which side's reporting is more objective?

As far as my experience in the military, I can sense when somebody is lying.

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?


Obviously you think Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Center for American Progress and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights are all lying all the time about Syria. (Your experience in the military has given you the ability to determine this.)

You probably think all the human rights organizations are all controlled by Jews or neocons, despite the fact that their reports are objective and are critical of the American government and the Obama administration as often as they do any other government. You must not know anything about them if you want to throw them all under the bus just because you disagree with them on one issue. You seem to be comfortable relying on the Syrian Army and the state news agency, SANA, for your news.
