Absolutely harrowing "dash cam" footage from a Syrian government tank, this is a city ripped apart.

As far as I can tell there is no bloodshed in the first video video, the tank does seem to get engage in a firefight in the second video I'll remove it if that isn't appropriate. But if you're prepared to see the raw results of a bloody sectarian war on one of the oldest cities on earth, check it out.

Horrifying, my heart goes out to the innocent people caught between the extreme Jihadists and their repressive government.



This video is considerably more graphic than the previous one WARNING



I'm going to be honest, I don't understand how people think sending more guns and bombs will help these people. They look they have had plenty of guns and bombs already.

needed to inflict damage on the regime. However, I think some of the Rebels are using IEDs & suicide car bombs as well.

Good for them. As soon as they can kill Assad the better...Except for the fact the regime has some really nasty chemical weapons that the radical Islamic groups are chomping at the bit to get. They will then try to come after us & Europe for not doing the No Fly Zone thingy. However, I would make the case they should go after Russia because Russia & China are the ones responsible for this getting out of hand!!
Oh well. We have no business arming them unless we are sure it won't come back on us...But at this point it does not matter what we do there are factions of the Rebels, especially the foreign Islamic groups, who will come after us regardless.
