    France’s secret war against the Syrian people
    By OzHouse On February 25, 2012 · voltairenet.org

    During the assault on the rebel stronghold in the Homs district of Bab Amr, the Syrian army took more than 1,500 prisoners, mostly foreigners. Of these, a dozen French nationals requested the status of prisoner of war, refusing to give their identity, rank and unit of assignment. One of them is a Colonel working for the DGSE transmission service.

    In arming the Wahhabi Legion and feeding it with satellite intelligence, France conducted a secret war against the Syrian army, which caused more than 3,000 deaths among the military, and more than 1,500 among civilians in ten months of fighting. ….

    France has sought Russia’s assistance to negotiate with Syria the release of its prisoners of war.

    This is the most hypocritical accusation. Bush killed a lot more innocent civilians in a war under the name of "democrats". In his war in Mid-east, more than hrundreds of thousands people have died, much more than Saddam or any other "dictators" had done.

    So said rebels do same thing as Assad does.

    Syria is not as bad as Western media say. It is only a victim of the "Spring of Arab". How bad is it? Just see what happened in Iraq.

    40 Turkish intelligence agents captured in Syria
    Sunday, February 19, 2012
     
    Western officials fear that Iranian military presence along with Russian aid could turn Syria into a center of international friction much worse than the struggle inside Syria. They fear that the control over actions in Syria will be taken over by a Russian-Iranian "partnership" which would exclude the European Union and Turkey and that U.S. involvement could be too late and inefficient.

    Turkey fears this development after a diplomatic crisis erupted with Syria when more than 40 Turkish intelligence officers were captured by the Syrian army. Over the past week, Turkey has been conducting intensive negotiations with Syria in order to secure their freedom, and Syria insists that their release will be conditioned on the extradition of Syrian officers and soldiers that defected and are currently in Turkey.

    U.S. secretly backed Syrian opposition:
    report
    WASHINGTON | Mon Apr 18, 2011 10:54am EDT
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The State Department has secretly funded Syrian opposition groups, according to diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, The Washington Post reported on Monday.
    The cables show that the State Department has funneled as much as $6 million since 2006 to a group of Syrian exiles to operate a London-based satellite channel, Barada TV, and finance activities inside Syria, the Post said.

    SYRIA: US-NATO Supported "Opposition" Commits Extensive War Crimes

    by Devon DB

    Global Research, March 20, 2012

    Finally, it should be noted that there are many similarities between the Syrian rebels and the Libyan rebels. The Libyan rebels launched a media propaganda war against Gaddafi, must like how Al Jazeera has lied about the ongoing events in Syria. In addition to this, much like the Syrian rebels, the Libyan rebels also committed war crimes.

    While there are those who may be pushing for intervention into Syria, they may want to rethink it the situation in light of this new information. The situation may end up much worse as the Libyan rebels were linked to Al Qaeda and the NTC is now going to enact Sharia law. We should not want the same fate for the people of Syria.

    DEBKAfile June 26, 2012,



    Unconfirmed first reports from British, French and Turkish sources say British special operations forces crossed from Turkey into northern Syria Tuesday, May 26, and advanced up to 10 kilometers inside the country.

    Syria 'Friends' Fuel Murder with Promises of Weapons for Rebels



    by grtv







    Syria's President says countries like the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey are hindering peace in his country by supporting those he calls 'terrorists'.



    Bashar al-Assad accused Washington of being partially responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians by partnering with the rebels. The Syrian army have started large-scale drills simulating defense against outside attacks.



    Some opposition leaders previously appealed to the West for foreign intervention against the regime.



    But as Maria Finoshina reports from Syria, many in the country are fearing for their lives if the rebel forces get what they want.

    German Intelligence: "al-Qaeda" All Over Syria

    2012-07-25

    By John Rosenthal

    German intelligence estimates that "around 90" terror attacks that "can be attributed to organizations that are close to al-Qaeda or jihadist groups" were carried out in Syria between the end of December and the beginning of July, as reported by the German daily Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). This was revealed by the German government in a response to a parliamentary question.

    Saudi Arabia support the Syrian rebels as they are sunnies. I am not sure the secular Turks would get involved.
