The UN has total numbers, nothing to back your claim.
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
:roll:
It's not hard to "get around" CBS when they're reporting on 1 person's blog.
The funny thing is that you would present a blogger as CBS - that's pathetic.
Well UNICEF isn't a blogger so take yourself on over there and check it out. So you can't get around that one either. Strike 3.....your out.
That's nuts. You presented a blogger and the basic numbers from the UN, neither of which give any credence to your claim.
You asked for a link.....
Everyone knows the total range. Your comment was regarding those killed, or civilians killed, by the rebels. A CBS link to a blog is not a mainstream source number. The "100-120k" total you appear to argue against. Everyone agrees with those numbers. I don't know why you think you're arguing them, it's a rather pointless strawman. No strike there, dude.
Regarding your "CBS" source, let's not go into the mockery possible of ~'this blogger counts as a mainstream source number'.
Are you claiming 50k killed by rebels and 80% non-civilian? I think that's about what your blogger estimates (he's probably around 90% non-civilian).
PS have to head out now. Ill check back to see if you can come up with something. Anything?????
at least wash it off before you slap it up here sheesh
Things are fine in Syria, Egypt & Iraq It's the logical conclusion of the Arab Spring
let's re-focus on what Obambi doesn't want you too
At some point, are you gonna realize that your blogger, who claims 45k government and 5k civilians killed by rebels is an anti-Assad blog and likely vastly overestimating the number of military kills. Will you also understand that while 10-20% (perhaps) of rebel caused deaths are civilians, the vast majority of Assad's kills are civilians.
Given the bias of the source, the rebels are probably responsible for ~30k military killed and 5-10k civilians. That leaves Assad with ~80k kills, mostly civilian. You cannot compare the civilian impact of the rebels and Assad.
You know Eco that the US killed far more civilians in Iraq than al Qaida, right?
I dunno (or care) how many casualties there have been but I'll tell you what, the stoopid rebels love to post vids of themselves in combat and weehoo buddy what a ragtag buncha non-military murdering thugs they are. They are just about the most ineffective fighting force you'd ever see anywhere. They should all be wiped away like poop from a baby's bottom.
You have a good point (except the part about not caring how many civilians have been killed) those rebels put up YouTube of themselves eating people's hearts, beheading people and a host of other crimes against civilians, quite self incriminating.
And far less than Saddam (500k invasion of Iran, 200k genocide of Kurds, 50k genocide of Marsh Arabs, 400k sold food from oil). AlQ was held back by a genocidal maniac dictator. Freedom from terrorists is not worth a totalitarian genocidal dictatorship.
You know Eco, your occupation and your lack of regard for civilians killed by US forces is quite the conflict.
There are bad apples in every group. That means nothing. You could build a similarly stupid case against any group based on youtube videos. No one should be impressed.
I bet it would mean a whole bunch if it was your heart or your head.
This fake war on terror is bull **** or as DaveFagan has pointed out,
I have no lack of regard for civilians, that's just you spewing BS in attempt to demonize others.
I have perspective that not based on youtube videos.
I'm not trying to demonized you.
I'm guessing your entire argument is based on this level of emotional BS. Youtube and appeals to emotion, how childish.
That's your ally? hahaha
What do you mean ally. By my count there's at least as many people on this board calling bull**** on Syria as not.
Then you'll kindly remove your scumbag BS accusation and apologize.
It's not an accusation, you support the terrorists in this fight.
No, I don't, despite your scumbag accusations.
