Syria: 50 Arab monitors arrive as bloodshed continues

About time too!!

Quote:

A group of 50 Arab League observers has flown into Syria on a mission to monitor an end to violence the UN says has left more than 5,000 people dead.
Ahead of their arrival, gunfire and shelling in the volatile city of Homs claimed 23 lives, the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Well if there is anything the Arabs like to do its observe some bloodshed.

I imagine the Arab League sold tickets too all the Sheiks so they can observe which bullets work best.

Well tbh that could be said of the UN and certain NATO partners right now...unless somebody discovers oil quickly.

A thug wanted for war crimes himself is leading the pack. Great "mission". If that is all what the Arab League can show up with, then they can stick it where the sun never shines.

NATO countries don't execute people in football stadiums.

Having such people observe an end to violence is like having a rapist join a sex crimes unit.

The difference between NATO and the Arab League is striking:

Overblown reaction to protesters here in America:

Standard contingency planning for protesters in Arab states.

Like I said: the Arab League is there to take notes for their own OPPLANs.

Also: The possibility of Iran's (whom nobody in the Middle East likes) only ally in the Middle East going down, thereby putting the kibosh on Iran's designs for the region? Hell no they're not going pass that up.

I am glad it is them and not us...Yet.

Sorry TLAM your moral superioroity standpoint went out the window long ago and you are now pretty much standing the same as the nonce in the anti nonce unit.
