"The overwhelming casualties in Syria are civilians and legitimate opponents of teh Assad regime
Any war is governed by the Geneva Convention which limits the methods used - Syria, with its chemicals and outright indiscriminate slaughter has long contravened those limitations"

Goebbels and the white helmets must love Jim Lad. False news is alive and well. I suppose Assad and his band of merry men trashed swathes of Iraq and Libya as well?

Of course jimmie has not an iota of proof for his allegations, but why let lack of facts spoil the fairy tales?
Interesting use of the word legitimate opponents. What totally corkscrewed logic gives legitimacy to the opponents of the elected government. They are simply rebels. The fact Uncle Sam arms and trains them and is trying hard to give the Kurds independence in the north,
cannot alter the illegality of their respective actions.
The Russians and Iranians are in Syria because they were invited. The Americans are there just to what? destabilise the country? trash the infrastructure? bankrupt the government? kill civilians?

Does not seen a very humanitarian mission to me. So what is the real mission of the illegal war the US is waging?
