Syria -- It is Actually Getting Worse

The intolerable attack by the Assad regime in Syria on its own people has killed something close to 10,000 already. Yesterday, however, events in Syria took a turn for the worse, something that is hard to believe. How could things get worse? The answer is that the Russians have now sent "anti-terror" troops to the country. And to be clear, these Russian troops are not there to stop the fighting. After all, Russia is the one major power who remains an ally of Assad. It seems that Vladimir Putin sees nothing wrong with killing civilians in order to stay in power.

In other news from Syria, video has emerged showing Assad forces throwing people off of rooftops. It is just another day and another way for Assad to terrorize his own people.

Here is the official White House reaction to the entry of the Russian troops into Syria in support of Assad: _______________________________. That's right, America is silent. It is inconceivable that Obama could stay silent in the face of Russian involvement in the Syrian slaughter, but that's what has happened. Who knows? Maybe the Russians offered him a big campaign contribution.
