Following significant military successes and diplomatic gains by Syria’s anti-Bashar Assad Sunni Muslim insurgency over recent weeks, Moscow, a key Assad regime ally, announced Tuesday 12/18/12 its preparations for an evacuation of Russian citizens living in Syria.
While the Assad regime’s ruling Alawite minority sect retained a firm hold on their indigenous base in the coastal Syrian provinces, the predominantly Sunni Muslim Syrian rebels have seized the northern and eastern border zones, near Turkey and Iraq, respectively, and dominate wide swathes of rural Syria. The continued rebel assault is even advancing on Assad’s seat of power, Damascus, near the western frontier of Lebanon, having just seized the pro-Assad Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk, on the southern edge of the Syrian capital.
By Wednesday, the rebels had reportedly captured at least six towns in the central Hama governorate (Latamneh, Helfaya, Kfar Naboudah, Hasraya, Tibat al-Imn, and Kfar Zita), with skirmishes erupting in the city of Hama itself. As of Friday, the Sunni insurgents were besieging Morek, an Alawite stronghold in Hama governorate, a province which contains dozens of Alawite and Christian villages among Sunni towns, igniting fears of increased sectarian violence.
During an interview with Barbara Walters on December 11, President Obama announced the U.S. would formally recognize the recently established Syrian National Coalition of Revolution and Opposition Forces (SNCROF), an umbrella group seeking to depose Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. Mr. Obama extolled the SNCROF for its inclusiveness, allegedly being open to various ethnic and religious groups, and bonds to local councils participating in the fight against Assad’s security forces. He opined:
At this point we have a well-organized-enough coalition — opposition coalition that is representative — that we can recognize them as the legitimate representative of Syrian people.
Independent analysts sympathetic to the anti-Assad forces, have concluded that the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood remains the dominant force in SNCROF, as it had been in the earlier Syrian National Council opposition front. London-based Syrian journalist Malik Al-Abdeh noted:
The Muslim Brotherhood seems to be in the dominant position … However, the West feels compelled now to legitimize the Syrian opposition in whatever guise it may take, simply because of the fast pace of events on the ground in Syria.

BECAUSE OBAMA IS A MUSLIM TERRORIST
I have been saying on here since the Benghazi murders that the raid on the consulate was planed by obumer and no help was sent because obumer didn’t want no survivors that knew what was being discussed at the dinner / meeting that Stevens and the prime minister was having about smuggling weapons through Turkey to Syria to help the Muslim rebels. He wants that hole area under muslim control. And all of his boot licker that have done everything to keep from testifying knew about it. They have all been threatened and the general also. If they would all come forward that would be the last of that SOB in our Whitehouse. This story was in a news letter i receive, it was a very short story within a larger story and it had disappeared off the internet within a little bit maybe within 1 hour another part of the story was on national news maybe twice national news mentioned Stevens walking the prime minister to the gate where the prime ministers car was waiting i don’t know what significance that has with the story but they have never mentioned that part again. He through Stevens and the seals under the bus and his boot lickers haven’t got the guts to tell the truth. What do you do when we have no one in Washington to stand up to him . Another thing i see coming in he is building his army in this country with all the Muslims and illegals he is not wanting to stop. their is several large pockets of them around the country. I know some of you are laughing at that statement. It is going to be a blood bath when it starts. I pray that we can count on our military we should be able to with the way he is treating and taking care of them. If they follow their OATH and not their orders we should be ok. But it will be a blood bath. KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY. AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Obama and some of our lawmaker’s should be charged with treason for aiding the enemy!
Flashback to August
Reality Check: Is Al-Qaeda An Enemy Or Not.

Exclusive: Obama authorizes secret U.S. support for Syrian rebels
snip
Some U.S. lawmakers, such as Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, have criticized Obama for moving too slowly to assist the rebels and have suggested the U.S. government become directly involved in arming Assad’s opponents.
Other lawmakers have suggested caution, saying too little is known about the many rebel groups.
Recent news reports from the region have suggested that the influence and numbers of Islamist militants, some of them connected to al Qaeda or its affiliates, have been growing among Assad’s opponents.

“the West feels compelled now to legitimize the Syrian opposition in whatever guise it may take…” Obama and all members of his administration have backed the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in every nation they’ve conspired against to overthrow. Why would this be? Obama’s connections to the MB are well documented, including the MB associations of Huma Abedin and her family, Hillary Clinton’s top aide. The main thing is, Obama has so many murky and shadowy associations that he would not even be allowed a low level job in the govt. He wouldn’t be able to pass a background check! Are we personally responsible for this? Maybe somewhat. We have fallen asleep while we were tasked by our founders with remaining vigilant over our country and our freedom. How we might be able to overcome this “coup” which has taken place is the question. Is it too late already is another one.
The answer is very simple, ‘It fits into O’Bozo’saster plan for complete Muslim Brotherhood control of the entire Middle East ! He is a rotton bastard, and this best not get moderated as his parents were never actually married!
The answer is simple – the media is run by the Satanic counterfeit of Judaism that the Bible calls the Synagogue of Satan – which according to Billy Gragham’s phone conversation with Nixon created Communism – Socialism and Zionism. This conversation was recorded and the archive released – do your own research. The Synagogue of Satan is behind the political theatrics – the puppet strings to the left and right converge on the Plutocracy that owns them both. So you can gripe about Soetoro all you want either McCain or R-money who both got the nomination by election fraud would be no better.
Iran and Syria have in common that neither have a private central bank controlled by the Rothschilds as we do. Nothing the SoS [Rev 2:9 & 3:9] can be taken at face value. Nations that were up to recently free of the Rothschild Plutocracy include: Libya, Iraq & Afghanistan – see a trend?
The SoS has funded and amplified corruptions of Islam and toppled moderate humanitarian states such as Mosadech (sp?) in 1953 Iran – there is no Militant Islam without the Militant Plutocratic Zionism.

Nothing the SoS DOES can be taken at face value – [oops] they either flat out lie – or leave out a vital truth that changes the context of everything.
