Watch this debate on French France24 TV. Several points come to mind. The viewpoints expressed by Joe Bahout and Haytham Manna` (and both are opponents of the regime for sure), are not permitted to be expressed on US and UK (and of course Saudi-funded and Qatari-funded) media. 2) What Joe Bahout expressed is a point of view that has been validated by recent events, regarding the regime gaining the upper hand. 3) It was quite typical that the anchorwoman cut off Joe Bahout but tried (without success) to interrupt his flow. 4) It is ironic that she in disagreement with Bahout and Manna` would bring up the fact that they dont reside in Syria when the Syrian National Council (comprised almost exclusively of Syrian living abroad) is permitted to speak without question or doubt on behalf of all Syrians. 5) The White Man has been amusing me these days. The White Man has fallen in love with armed struggle in the Middle East, having annoyed our years for decades in his preachments against armed struggle in Palestine. (thanks Raed)
