THE INSANITY OF SYRIA'S LOGIC

Within the past few days, I have read and heard the most ridicules and frankly poorly scripted excuse as to why the Syrian Military utilized Heavy, field artillery units against the city of Homs and the suburb area of Bab Amr.

To keep things simple, the Al Assad government storyline was based on, "Terrorist" hiding inside the city!!!!

Lets think about that for just a minute.

Lets suppose a group of armed " Terrorist" barricaded themselves in Lower Manhattan.

Lets suppose the US Government had information that some of the people in Lower Manhattan were, "sympathetic" / passively sympathetic  as most Women and Children are.

Does any rational person believe for a minute the proper way to react to such an event is to call in the United States Army's Field Artillery units accompanied by Tanks and level Lower Manhattan????

This argument of " Terrorist" being in Homs and Bab Amr even if true does not address the deliberate decision to murder every, Hostage" around the " Terrorist" in order to eliminate the " Terrorist"..... for you see.. if the world is to take Al Assad at his word, then he must admit the Syrian Government had and has absolutely no remorse over killing the innocent Syrians who just happen to be in the Homs, Bab Amr..

When, "Terrorist" are hiding in a school.. do you bomb the school??

Now, let me try to explain why I think Al Assad used and will continue to use such disproportionate tactics.

First off, and most importantly, he does't care about the people in these cities and towns..

They are all his  "cattle" and if he must kill a few here and there to keep the "herd" in line... so be it!!!

Secondly, his tactics are inherited.

Like Father.... like Son!!! to include his Brother....

Bombing a city is a tactic his supporters can and obviously support... I.E.. The Russians.... just ask the people of Crozny..

" Kill a few hundred  to make a few hundred thousand fear you"... That is Al Assad.

Ok, let me give some hope to those who are trying to weather Al Assads Rapture!

I firmly believe we have seen a fundamental change in Al Assad's governments tactics for a reason based on desperation.

You see...... when you can no longer trust your ground troops to follow your orders....when you have your Commanders informing you their troops grow tired of  the face to face killing of fellow Syrian Citizens... when the rumors of mass defections become more than rumors.. .then you must take action.

Two things must happen!!!

First... you must speedup the process... crush the conflict as quickly as possible or risk losing the bulk of your militaries support... Thus the use of disproportionate  force.

Secondly... you must remove your forces from face to face murder!!!!

Allow the units to kill from a distance and kill with little knowledge of who they are killing.

Take away the troops ability to see the truth.. take away their contact with the outside world and do not let them communicate with their families.. .especially their Mothers or Sisters or Daughters... thus.. .again.. the use of distant weapons.. Field Artillery..

Finally; If you can inflict the overwhelming force with limited unit involvement, utilizing "specialized units, then you can control the flame that spreads desertion.

And when it is all said and done, and you forces move into the area to, "clean up", make sure your state controlled media has a well thought out story line about the damage left behind by the " Terrorist"... and the Atrocities they committed.  

Those stories are not for the Free World to believe.

 They are for the Syrian people to hear and more importantly for the troops to see and hopefully believe.

Yes... Al Assad  use of distant killing machines is a sign of how desperate he and his government  has really become.
