Brown Moses posted:I put together an interview with one of the people who runs the Youtube channel Syrian Scenes - Interview with Michael Nahum of Syrian Scenes. quote:During the Syria crisis a number of groups have started to projects to subtitle In English videos coming out from Syria to help English speaking audiences understand events in Syria.  I assume that should be something like "During this crisis, several groups have begun to subtitle videos coming out of Syria to help English speaking viewers understand the events occurring there."?

Nenonen posted:So... this only applies to Egyptians, and even then only to Muslims. How does it work? Is their religion written on their ID or..? At least in Dubai, the laws effectively mean all nightclubs enforce a "no traditional dress" rule, and same for stores and supermarkets as far as selling alcohol. The owner is the only one who would be punished for selling to a Muslim, so these rules give them plausible deniability: "Hey, dude just looked like a random foreigner, how could I tell?  "

Brown Moses posted:He certainly goes through periods of being very clear, and then periods of stuff like this: Wow, have there been many published schizophrenics? This almost reads like an excerpt from a really interesting science fiction novel. I mean, I'm not trying to make light of the situation. What he did in Libya and wants to do in Syria is horribly misguided and dangerous to those around him, at best. Something about this kind of writing is just fascinating to me.

Hong XiuQuan posted:It's really surprising that so many of you either believe or give credence to this. It's absolute bullshit. Seriously. It's impressive that the useless American press of the early 2000s has managed to firmly imprint this in the minds of an American generation, but for everyone saying "Oh he just transferred his weapons" or "yeah well he gassed the Kurds so I'm not inclined to giving him the benefit of the doubt" - you're talking a load of bollocks. You don't need to have trusted Saddam on this. Iraq underwent the most comprehensive weapons inspections regimen undertaken by the UN (and no, they were never thrown out by Iraq) which had unequalled access to Iraqi sites (and which were from time to time used to scout locations for US attacks) pre-1998. The Iraqis weren't always as cooperative as they could have been, but as a result, per Ritter: Honestly, I read that as sarcasm. Maybe I'm too genuous

Pembroke Fuse posted:Even if it's true that "we can be in Tehran within a month" because it would just be one giant all-out push, there is nothing to indicate that Tehran can be held or that taking other cities wouldn't also tax the US military far too thinly, or that the insurgency won't ultimately make things a far bigger mess than in Iraq. I think almost everyone who said "Tehran within a month" provided these caveats. I think everyone on this thread knows that any quick "victories" in Iran would be ephemeral "mission accomplished" bullshit while the real bloodletting will last for at least a decade. Besides, everyone knows when you capture the Persian capital, they just designate the capital as a different city.

Al-Saqr posted:What the hell am I supposed to think? I dont give a poo poo about anybody involved, I am a little more sad about the previous group of arrests done a couple months ago because there were some decent, powerless people who had reformist mindsets, despite how naive they are. Hey are you sure it's OK to write like this? Aren't you still living there? Or do the monitors not care about English writing? I remember a blogger (writing in English) in Venezuela a year or two ago said that state intelligence monitoring didn't know/care about non-Spanish language posts, so he said he was safe.
