Syria - Assad's thugs waging war against the people (28/8/12)

Plainclothed Assad army soldiers or hired shabiha firing heavy artillery on the suburbs of Damascus.

My comment:
Check out those laughing goons in their shorts and muscle T-shirts firing off those guns. Disguisting. Best sign of the deteriorating morale and cowardice of the Assad army.
It's clear that by firing such heavy artillery on urban areas full of civilians, that most are going to hit civilians and their homes, since artillery don't have close to any pinpoint accuracy.
Some might argue: "Oh, then the rebels should not hide in urban areas". Is that really a proper argument? Imagine if, let's say Al-Qaeda were hiding in Sydney, or New York. Would it be logical for the US or Australian armies to fire thousands of shells into these cities? Or would it be more logical to send in APCs, Tanks under soldier cover? Isnt it also logical that by shelling civlian areas, more people will turn against the regime? Think about it.

  • Rasengan, you can volunteer to lead the strike teams to remove a horde of foreign, brainwashed pedo goat rapists from the entire country then.

    That's why they invented artillery. Because some armed people don't want to come out of a building, like castles back in the day. Same shit happened in WW1/2 all through Europe (yeah those examples you used..) but you're suggesting they should be calmly knocking on the door to get them to surrender instead?

      The vast majority of civillians don't like the FSA and say they are foriegn jihadi extremists like iraq/afghanistan. The FSA say that themselves in their videos. Most people have figured that one out by now hence why 7 upvotes.
      In europe many countries shelled their own towns to halt advancing occupations.

      So do you think they'd have more freedom under extreme sharia law or Assad who allows all faiths? He and his family are not perfect but they are much better than the alternative More..

  • If you look at aerial photographs of artillery shellholes you will see that they are exceptionally accurate.

    See for example http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6bb_1344423062

    Also your commentary pretends they are firing at built-up areas. What proof do you have? My link shows only shots at farmland and supply routes for the terrorists.

    • @DEADBEEF
      Most snackbar videos have to be craftily cut to avoid showing too much of the vast majority of untouched city. They love driving through the same damaged parts though.

    • @DEADBEEF Yeah I'm sure they're only firing at those terrorist cows and sheep,these brave heroes would never shell a city.....

  • I like Assads soldiers because they don't constantly yell out Allah Akhbar. For this reason alone they have my support.

  • To be honest, this doesn't look all that much different from other videos where artillery is being fired during a war in the middle of the summer (Afghanistan is one example)...people are all clad in T-shirts and shorts because it is hot.

    Besides, without the pinpoint accuracy of JDAMs and missiles that allow the west (and Israel) to claim that they inflict low civilian casualties while bombing a city, heavy artillery wouldn't be used if insurgents hadn't decided that using hospitals, schools, More..

  • The main part of the people of Damascus and Aleppo, resp., did not ask for the FSA to come and hide in their cities.

  • "cowardice of the Assad army"
    Srsly, dude who is hiding in civilian areas and use human shields ?
    Who wears civilian clothes during firefights ?
    Who use IEDs and sucicide bombers in civilian areas ?

    "It's clear that by firing such heavy artillery on urban areas full of civilians, that most are going to hit civilians and their homes"
    You mean the homes where the so called FSA turn out the residents and use them as cover for ambushes and firing positions ?

      So you tell me I missed the news were Syria invaded Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Libya, Turkey, Lebanon a.s.o. ?!?

      btw:
      Brillant idea, to build a firing position in your own living room so you can shoot at soldiers and watch TV...

    • @bmn

      these people are poor and have nowhere to go...they didnt grow up like you alright....and the vast majority of fighters are Syrians...to deny that is to be considered a conspiracy theorist...there are foreign fighters but they are nowhere close to the number of defected fighters/Syrian citizens in the FSA...the FSA leadership from turkey even said that when Assad falls, they may have to fight the hardcore Islamists if they dont leave

      well then expect a fight...would be the same in the American war of independence when the french helped us, if the french stayed and tried to run the show, we would have fought them off as well...good thing the jihadis are wayyyyy outnumbered
