Anonymous Coward User ID: 13744385 United Kingdom 06/25/2012 07:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	A general, two colonels, two majors, one lieutenant and 33 soldiers defect to Turkey from Syria [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] A host of top Syrian army officers have defected from brutal President Bashar Assad's forces and arrived in Turkey. A general, two colonels, two majors, one lieutenant and 33 soldiers have turned up, with their families, Turkish state television has said. A total of 224 individuals are seeking asylum in the neighbouring country, also reported by private news channel CNN Turk. They are being hosted at a refugee camp near the border. It follows the defection of four high-placed Syrian military officials - two brigadier-generals and two colonels who are all brothers - on Saturday.

They leave the country that they promised to protect. They should be executed. If they oppose Assad, then they should use their knowledge and join the resistance, not run away like cowards.. It would be more honorable to fight him than to cower from him.

Assad doesn't have appeared to make sudden aggressive policy changes towards his people, so why the uprising? What are the resistance opposed to? High taxes? No property right? Too much government intervention in their lives? If those are the reasons then Americans should be leading this revolt. someone is trying to restructure the middle east and build it up into something, but what? One huge islamic superstate?
