Assad killing Civilians in Syria

Freepers don't much care what happens in those sand countries, except such that it can be spun to feed their anti-Obama rage addiction. SO they take many sides in the issue, all of them horrifyingly callous.

GonzoGOP is skeptical that Assad is really trying:

Do you seriously think you can drop a full scale artillery barrage, for a couple of weeks, on a city of a million people and kill 60? Have you ever seen what a hail of 155mm shells do to closely packed buildings? Go look at pictures of Stalingrad or Manila in World War II, that is what a city subjected to concentrated artillery looks like.

There is no barrage, they are lobbing in a few shells, perhaps some mortars. But the press is just trying to paint their Muslim Brotherhood allies as victims. If this were an all out bombardment there would be a lot more than 60 dead per day.

GonzoGOP also notes that civilian deaths don't matter - they're probably his enemy anyhow:

Assad has launched terrorist attacks on the US. The Muslim Brotherhood has been consistent in promoting the destruction of the US. When thousands of my enemies are killed by each other, no it isn't that bad.

goat granny fails statistics forever:

Pretty soon they will be as dangerous as Chicago or Detroit in murders...

LibertyRocks has decided that the rebels are for reals this time, 'cause Obama isn't invading:

The White House won’t step in this time because those fighting are actually REAL “Freedom fighters” and NOT a planned overthrow by the Muslim Brotherhood. THAT’s why Obama will not even say one word about this.
His blind-eye is already turned on these people as they actually believed the propaganda of the “Arab Spring” narrative, naively believing Obama’s administration would actually HELP them rid themselves of Assad and his government.

caww doesn't get it:

Liberty...I cannot understand the foolishness of the Syrian people to have gambled by uprising as they have.....

Really? You're posting on Civil War 2 central, and you don't get freedom fighters rising against all odds?

Better watch Red Dawn again.
