Syrian rebels reject Annan's call for dialogue

5. much of it is indeed lies from the Muslim Brotherhood front groups and media agents

I read plenty of reports about "Rafidite Alawite polytheists cutting throats of thousands of innocent Muslims who don't accept Assad is their god" and the like. Ikwanist front groups like the "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" and other European-based media propaganda outlets, in addition to the multitude of Saudi/Qatari newspapers and television stations, were churning those things out like a factory, sometimes toning the sectarian fanaticism down for a white audience. There was absolutely no standard whatsoever for what wild claims got reported; I heard Assad was dropping chemical and nuclear weapons on the place at one point and that the siege was a bigger deal than Stalingrad. Much footage has been found to be meticulously staged by Ikwanist and other Saudi/Qatari-backed media agents for broadcast on al-Jazeera, al-Arabiya, CNN, BBC, and other pro-interventionist forces.
It is perhaps odd that those calling loudest for intervention lifted no fingers as war crimes were committed in Gaza, Fallujah, or Qandahar; probably because those hypocrites were too busy carrying them out themselves amid absolute impunity and self-congratulation.
