He can't even pronounce the name of Homs, for potato's sake

Look at this Zionist expert, Jeffrey White, at the Washington Institute's expert in his talk on the Free Syrian Army.  He amusingly tells the audience that his research is based on Youtube.  I kid you not.  Forget about everything he says (it is all forgettable), but just notice how this expert on Syria pronounces the word Homs.  Homs, for potato sake.  And then notice how he pronounces the word Dayr Az-Zur (he pronounces the name as Daaar zawwar---kid you not). (thanks Laleh)

PS It is hilarious: that he takes seriously the announcement of battalions by the Free Syrian Army, and assumes that a "battalion" really comprises some 200 people, not knowing that same people are often in several battalions and that some of the names are Youtube names.  Also, enjoy his pronouncement of the word "Shabbihah": he pronounces shahibah.  Kid you NOT.

PPS  And for Andrew, you may not want to use Arabic words because they may not be decipherable to the audience, like your citation of Ghassan Tuwayni's Harb Al-Akharin.  IT was butchered, man.

PPPS  Neither of them really knew anything about the topic, but Andrew admitted that he does not know much about the subject.
