Syrian Revolution Digest

“Cleanse and Liberate!”
From May. You can see through the faecal stuff now, or you can wait for all the reports in the world, but the truth will be the same. All fifteen areas attacked this time were occupied by rebels, what are the chances?*
"And yet, miraculously, it’s the rebels and their supporters who are being killed and displaced! Cut the bullshit!, pardon my Italian! Had rebels had access to Sarin gas and had they had the necessary knowhow to deploy it, they might have been tempted to use it during their months-long siege of various military airports that keep raining death and havoc on their communities. The fact that they haven’t reflects either a principled stand on their part, lack of access, or both, but in all cases, it makes clear that the Sarin call in Syria has been heeded by the Assadists only, not the rebels. QED"
* n¹⁵/1, where n is the proportion of neighbourhoods held by the opposition, might be a first approximation.
