    PUBLIC REACTION TO THIS CLIP: (As seen on the CBS News webpage)
    We found the comments to be surprisingly spot on, given the overwhelming distortions and omissions presented by the mainstream media on this topic. Take heart activists, if Americans can react like this to this piece of fetid propaganda, even in the present clime of all out lies, imagine what would happen if more people were consistently exposed to the truth.

    2.     Al Qaeda

    3.     Syrian Rev. Front..SRF

    5.     Free Syrian Army

    6.     Islamic State………ISIS or ISIL

    Assad may be a bad guy but he is not our enemy!!!!!

    Assad protected many of the different sects and religions and did not mass murder and behead  folks.
