    Mansour Omari smuggled this evidence out of Mezzeh prison, where he was interred. He mixed blood from his cellmates' malnourished gums with rust from the prison bars, and wrote all 57 of his fellow inmates' names with a chicken bone, using the blood as ink.

    ليس لديّ سوى هذه النصيحة لأخوتي واخواتي في السودان : بقدرِ صعوبة الأمر، و بقدرِ ما هو مؤلم ما تشعرون به بشكل لا يُطاق ولا يمكن مقاومته لتدافعوا عن انفسكم بالبنادق ، لا تطلقوا ولا اي رصاصة، لان هذا ما ينتظرونه .

    Don't write op-eds in the name of your dead children.

    Opinion: My son-in-law was killed in an Islamic State attack. Trump’s Syria withdrawal puts lives at risk.

    Watch out, this guy has cracked COIN wide open.

    Syria- SpecOps covertly clear Idlib of millitants HVTs. Neutralize insurgent threat. SAA and police restore law and order there. Provide public safety.

    But really, it shouldn't be euphemised. These concepts aren't that hard. The US engaged in Syria, it now has an active interest in the intricate geopolitical dynamics of that country, withdrawing hastily will result in everything you'd imagine would happen in such a case.

    Someone stabs your leg with a fixed-blade dagger. It severs your femoral artery, but the obstruction of the blade blocks off your bloodflow and keeps you from bleeding out. If you remove the knife, you die.

    Imagine someone smashes his truck into a house. Imagine that now, the truck is embedded into the house such that if it backs out, the house will collapse. Got that visual?

    Local Phrenologist Scientifically Identifies the Class Basis of State Violence

    Replying to @malloy_online
    I'm still not sure what you mean. We support the SAA, like the national liberation fighters in Vietnam before them, because we looked at the class forces scientifically. Both were/are fighting the common enemies of the vast majority of humanity

    Very few of these things accurately describe Brett McGurk. This gushing is odd.

    Replying to @realDonaldTrump
    You should get to know him. He did more public service in his first hour in office or his last than you will in your lifetime. His honor, intelligence, dedication, professionalism & patriotism are things you will never understand and that will elude you every moment of your life.

    Shocked though unsurprised that Trump is unfamiliar with McGurk.

    Brett McGurk, who I do not know, was appointed by President Obama in 2015. Was supposed to leave in February but he just resigned prior to leaving. Grandstander? The Fake News is making such a big deal about this nothing event!

    It's really, really not that hard. It's not six-dimensional.

    Ryan Crocker on Syria: "We are just not positioned to win. If we go or if we stay, it won’t affect the outcome very much. If we stay, then we become a player in a post-conflict, six-dimensional game that we have no clue of what the rules are.” …

    Considered by whom? He's the off-brand glue, the kind they use for the sticky labels which never actually stick.

    4. was considered by many to be the glue holding together the sprawling, 79-nation coalition battling ISIS. A veteran of 3 administrations, he was a rare holdover from the Obama White House, a sign of the crucial role he played in helping mount the war against ISIS
