The 'free' and 'independent' media maintains that Asad fights with his own citizens. If so, his soldiers must be totally incompetent.
Or, he fights with some well trained and armed mercenary force that is acting as 'Syrian freedom fighters'.
What 'truth' are you ready to believe in is up to you, but what concerns me - everything is crystal clear.

Even if they're somewhat well-trained, does that make them mercenaries?

And why do you folks doubt THAT dictator SHOUD be taken down? He was given power by his Dad, without a fair election, he's responsible for around 10,000 deaths in the country over the last year, the soldiers that carry out his orders shoot down people, catch and torture them (including under age children). The Syrian people are all just fed up with him, it's obvious. But they can't do anything about it, they see what happens to protesting people...

Why Eric you don't care that your way to take down the dictator would cost hundred times more human lives in a couple of months than the number of deaths caused by the dictator during decades (even if we take your "numbers" of dictator's body count as real).

The Syrian people are all just fed up with shooting from either side. They just want to keep their lives. They just don't wont to be killed whatever some people outside Syria think that it is for the good of them.

The name of the person who should be in power in Syria doesn't matter. What matters is what to do to achieve some good for the Syrians. Shootings on the streets doesn't make any good to the Syrians.

Yes, that does. Becaise a well-trained fighter fights only for money. Besides, I doubt any of these 'rebels' are in fact Syrians.

10K? Why not a million? Or a billion? Why is he responsible? Do you have any proof?

They should eat them alive! I wonder what's stopping the media from telling that 'truth'?

Do you know any Syrian who lives there willing to confirm your statement?

'Protesting people' or 'foreign mercenaries'?
