Doctor: Syria snipers targeting pregnant women and children in “death game”

Doctor: Syria snipers targeting pregnant women and children in “death game” – CBS News.

Let’s not mince words here, this kind of sadistic behavior comes as another indication that what’s happening in Syria is not a civil war but a genocide, a genocide that has inspired desperate resistance and has been exploited by different regional actors, and Al-Qaeda, to further their particular agendas. But it is GENOCIDE. This is what Obama is ignoring. In the age of “Never Again” and R2P and Genocide Prevention Bureaus, a genocide is unfolding and no one gives a damn. Global Order has lost its relevance, so prepare to live in a jungle.

If AQ is Assad’s enemy why not target its positions? They are pretty known. But Assad needs AQ to fight moderate rebels and score points with the international community”.
