N. A. A full now accused of war crimes were previously supported and arms by washington can have more pain. The Free Syrian ArmyAmerican Media and politicians told of glorious Freedom Fighters picking up a gun for democracy and human rights and the usa wasnt afraid to show its support the United States has been one of the biggest supporters whether its politically whether its financially in a range of manners of the moderate opposition including the freestream our syrian army the administration is staking its efforts in syria on the Free Syrian Army aid and assistance that were going to give to the Free Syrian Army is used to advance the cause against guys will watch the transformation of the Free Syrian Army as well really on have they gotten more quickly better or is it just me well guess what forces fighting under the f s as latest incarnation are now attacking the United States as part of the de confliction Exchange Information has been received from the u.

As a soft force to counter the quote brutal regime of Bashar Al Assad western journalists even visited them they are former syrian soldiers they say they refused orders to fire on their own countrymen and so excited to take up arms against the assad regime there are pretty gnarly bunch for a soft force but who pays attention to these details western media fell in love with them and their commander solemn interest even got a surprise visit from john mccain the u. S. Senator slipped across syrias borders so he could meet with Americas Dream Team fighting against the Syrian Government and sense then solemn even appeared on major t. V.

Ones that are in the fight. Is were talking 445 the overall goal is to make sure that we have enough. To be able to get work done on the ground a lot of the weapons and money spent and it up in the hands of terrorist groups like i still or the al nasra front fine use of u. S. Taxpayers money and sense than the u. S.

Salim idris but hes got a completely new script now he is no longer a big fan of the stars and stripes as the syrian conflict twists and turns you have to ask yourself who is the United States going to end up supporting next and how long until they turn against the United States again this incident at the very least shows. Destabilizing the presence of the americans has been and also their support for these groups like the socalled Syrian National army which consists really of people who bought aggressive jihad and so its been an alliance convenience and now its become inconvenient for the jihad is who have seen that yes the americans have abandoned the kurds who they disliked but of course they fear that they too will be controlled but they didnt really think about who their friends were who they were helping who they were arming and funding.

Ladies and gentleman and use gender neutral terminology for collective calls both front of house and back stage so avoid alienating people who identify as nonbinary so neither male nor female some venues like the apollo have already dropped the phrase opting instead for good evening or welcome stressing that they want everyone to feel welcome while londons transport network has already made the change from ladies and gentlemen to phrases such as good evening everyone who want to see its a guy was think about these changes if they didnt announce what they were doing it probably wouldnt notice so suppose its fair enough although i quite like that his judgment to be honest should be on nothing give us taking a fork you fall seriously you say.
