Do we have a thread talking about Syria? I don't think so...
Anyway, Syria just dropped off the internet.
As indicated in the article, that could mean bad things coming for people in Syria.

Hopefully they'll have as rocking a revolution as Egypt.

Israel: Syria used chem weapons. Naturally the Syrians claim the rebels used it.
Except, oops:
Mr. Kerry also said he had talked by telephone Tuesday morning with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, and that Mr. Netanyahu had told him that he could not confirm the assertions of chemical weapons use. “He was not in a position to confirm that in the conversation that I had,” Mr. Kerry said.
So ... they didn't use them?
“I don’t know yet what the facts are,” Mr. Kerry added. “I don’t think anybody knows what they are.”
That's the first intelligent thing you've said in a long, long time. Maybe ever.
NATO told to get their shit ready, just in case.

Syrians destroy 1000 year old mosque. Each side blames the other, and the rebels were pinned down inside. Although, one thing seems interesting...
The collapse of the minaret was also reported by state media, which said it had been blown up by Jabhat al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda-linked group fighting with the rebels. It did not explain why a militant Sunni group would destroy a historic Sunni mosque.
Shit appears to be getting increasingly fucked up over there. Let's take a look at some of these countries:
Tunisia: resident dictator flees to Saudi Arabia, shit is reasonably calm, limited armed violence
Egypt: resident dictator jailed, shit still fucked up
Libya: resident dictator beaten to death by pissed off mob
Yemen: resident dictator exiled, then came back, shit still fucked up
Syria: open civil war, shit extremely fucked up
Bahrain: gov't becoming increasingly more oppressive, shit getting more fucked up
Looks like the longer the revolution is forced to go on, the less merciful it becomes.

Syria gets more missiles from Russia. Israel yesterday said, "We will blow the fuck out of any Russian missiles you place."

I'm sure the Obama White House's response will be very intimidating.

Russians start bombing Assad's enemies, ostensibly just ISIS ... because Russia never lies.

No boots on the ground. If "no" means "some."

Don't think of it as the US entering another Mideast conflict, think of it as the future site of another military base we'll keep around for another fifty years.
