Is the U.S. Suffocating the Syrian Rebellion?

Jim Muir, BBC correspondent, reports that the rebels are losing ground to Assad's forces and their Hezbollah allies, because of ammunition shortages. He says the supply of weapons from the Gulf Arab states to the Syrian rebels “has been drying up, perhaps from pressure from the U.S.” [5/20/13.]

At the same time, the U.S. whines that Russia is sending “advanced” missiles to the Assad regime.

So the sanguinary hereditary dictatorship is getting more weapons from its backers, while the U.S. blocks aid to the people of Syria- the vast majority- trying to free themselves from the yoke of this tyranny.

The U.S.- a force for good?

{Scientists have spent countless years and untold millions of dollars searching for an answer to the question, Why don't people sign up for email alerts for new postings on this website? It's so easy to do that a child- or even a childish adult- could do it, the price is very competitive (free), and it's a great service to the reader who is thereby relieved of the onerous burden of checking the website ten or more times a day or year to see if there's something new.

Why don't you give those scientists something better to do by rendering that mystery moot. Go to the upper right side of the webpage, and add your email at Follow By Email. You'll be glad you did. Or- let's be honest- maybe sad. Hey, that's life. You just have to take chances sometimes.}
