against the people who wanted slavery to end. Over 600 thousands died. The people who wanted to end slavery and keep the "United" States of America together.

6 million Jews and probably more with scores of others dead across the world.

On another thread Kerry and McCain were accursed of being paid by the rebels, maybe Assad is paying as well to his allies.

and forces people on state TV to read scripts ...

heres an example of a fake rape victim and faked confessions from 'rebels' along with a faked 'battle/victory' as well....





Wheres the proof that the rebels are doing the same ? cause I cant find any that aren't from a Russia, Iran, or Syrian state TV source.

What happens when their fathers try to help a wounded man in a street, that was shot for carrying a camera tripod?

What happens if we mistake a wedding for something else?

When we miss?

Do they not know what happened in Iraq?

This all looks terribly staged. These children don't even know what the hell they are saying. The adult, most of them, probably don't neither. But besides them mumbling meaningless words for the benefit of those who have power; do we even care? Is this supposed to bring us in, guns blazing and bombs blasting all around? Get serious!

Children die in every one of these disgusting wars. WE kill them as well; perhaps not on purpose, but just the same. I feel terrible for them. They feel terrible, and there is no escape. But the USA dropping any bombs is only a futile gesture that will bring shit down on our head for "just one more excuse to hate the infidels". NO! Absolutely not.

We can support the x-military rebels or the decent factions that are fighting to get Assad out. That is bad enough, because we will be supplying the weapons that will most likely kill thousands more children. But for us to just blindfold our eyes and throw bombs in over our shoulders is absolutely absurd.

I don't care how many children and adults mumble these words. The answer is no.

Soldiers bodies in Iraq. Hell we were/are not allowed to see the coffins. Did Kerry mention
how many children Bush killed in Iraq. How many countries around the world sent missile to
US to teach us a lesson for staging ILLEGAL wars? Just asking. It's like many are saying. This has
nothing to do with dead children and the use of chemicals on people.
It's all about gas and oil pipelines running thru those countries.

Are fully Paid and up to the task of banging them Drums. Oh And using that Pink Triangle is always good for a little sympathy. (You should be shamed for using that! but the MIC doesn't know the meaning of that word, it actually means something to some good folks around here.)
