Two sides to every story and somewhere in between lies the truth.

So nice to hear from the COMINFORM every once in a while.

I'm not ready to pull out the jump to conclusions mat because some suit wearing dude in Lebanon with unsubstantiated and unproven credibility makes accusations on some opinion piece broadcasted by some foreign noname news source.

Video aside, the fighting in Syria does somewhat remind me of Afganistan in the 80's

If we are supporting the bad guy, then it wouldn't be the first time.

Personally I question who's good, who's bad, by who's standards do we use to make that determination, and what makes those standards any more credible then the others.

edit: How I do like to toss that thought out every now and then.

The guy seems to represent Hezbollah/Iranian stance on Syria(wearing suit lol).
Not that there is no truth in what he says....
Its a confusing situation

Just as well as you havn't walked the walk as a suit wearing Lebanese political analyst

Did you call it unsubstantiated or question his credibility when Voice Of America broadcasts his pieces?

Errrr....it is Russia Today which is a well known named newssource which some would say fulfills the same role as Voice of America.

But in essence it is a piece carried by a pro Putin media outlet by a "think tank" which has a history of being pro Iran and pro Syria.

The up side to the USA going broke, would be that it might be the last time.

All depends on your perspective.

US supporting the bad guy ?

It's frequent !

Remember :

- Ho Chi Minh
- Ferdinand Marcos
- Manuel Noriega
- Osama bin Laden

After helping United States (or being helped by the US), these men became the "black sheep" for Washington ...

What a perspicacity !
