(3,489 posts)44. FIRST INTERVIEW with A SYRIAN EYEWITNESS of HOULA MASSACRE
Published On: Sat, Jun 2nd, 2012 22 minutes ago
....Shortly afterwards, they secured the army checkpoint and the police station in the city.
Just against this police stations are the families houses. The residential buildings against this police stations are the where all those children and families that were killed. They killed all the children of Al-Sayed family; they were 3 families and 20 children. They also killed people from Abdulrazak family, 10 persons; they killed them because they support the authorities. Of Al-Sayed family they killed the family of the brother of Abdullah Al-Mashlab, the 3rd person in the Syrian parliament. He was elected on May 24th, the next day they killed his wife and 3 kids and his brother and his family as well.
At 7:00 pm, Al-Farouq brigade, led by Abdulrazak Tlass, of the so-called Free Syrian Army arrived. He had more than 250 armed men with him from the city of Rastan, he also had 2 other groups with him one from Al-Qabo village, led by Yehya Al-Yusef, and another from Falla village.
At the time of the attack, the leaders always instructed the armed men to intensify the fire during their calls to Al-Jazeera. At night, the shooting stopped.
On the second day we heard them talking to each other on walkie talkies that some of the armed men should wear the Syrian Arabi Armys uniform before the observers arrive so that they claim theyve defected from the army and joined the armed men, and the others should dress like civilians and come to with us to the mosque, where the bodies and the observers are.
They burned some farms and houses to accuse the army of shelling the area in front of the observers................

Even the NSA can't see whose really wearing the uniforms or who they're really working for.

That's right. After the insurgents attacked bases in the area, the tanks chased after them.

You have to go after all the goon squads, or none at all. Don't reward any of them.

How can I be spouting Assad's talking points? I've never even seen them in English-language media.

I am not a single-issue propagandist - unlike someone who posts only regime-change BS on this board.

It's so much like the "incubator" stories re Saddam, and Qaddafi stories about him taking the wealth

Not apologizing for the mass murder on either side. I just don't want to see more murder,

Even if you're willing to accept possible genocide as the cost of regime change, I'm not.

I believe the situation in Syria is fucked up because of so many outside agents

I understand your concern, but is this an argument that Syrians must live under a dictator

Interesting point of view from 2010 . The 2nd vid about the 4:00 min mark starts to stir the pot

Could you make your post a little more obfuscating and totally irrelevant.....

You intentionally ignore the fact that there's a 3rd Party in the conflict - one which cares not who

Syria's ambassador to the UN knew the rebels did it, before the investigation even started.

To be fair, in Western capitals many drew opposite conclusions before any "investigation."

Actually some of them were killed by shelling which is what led to the Security Council condemnation

Still, if the interview is true , some of these rebel groups sound awfully brutal.
