3. erasing a people
mical ,   usa   (08.30.13)
Looking and staring at these horrible scenes makes me wonder about the twist and turns of life. Aren't these the people who made it their live's goal to erase all lsraelis,children and women alike? The people who danced in the streets when Israeli kids school bus were bombed? The twists of life, never to be under estimated.
4. @1 where were u when USA used Napalm in Viet Nam?

5. yes larry

6. #2 cynical Jewish trash;
norbus ,   Jerusalem   (08.30.13)
Children burn and you philosophise? your morality is stunning,
7. Assad has flipped his lid
zionsist forever   (08.30.13)
The war drums are beating in Washington and around the world because of the chemical weapons use, he knows Obama wants the military action to be a short sharp shock and as long as Assad doesn't do anything stupid between now and the action itself he is ok. Instead this idiot is now using napalm on a school. If he wants to start using napalm as a weapon the smart thing would be to wait until after the western intervention has happened then its more likely that Obama will bury his head in the sand over its use. Use it now it increase international pressure on him for him to hit Assad very hard and it gives him an easier time forming a coalition.
8. Inevitably, most of the wounded...
(08.30.13)
...will be treated in Israel - of all places! Remember!
9. #2 Over 1000 gassed and now this! What don't you believe?
michael redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (08.30.13)
10. No2 Wy not? Dont you know the history of Syria?
NATAN ,   ISRAEL   (08.30.13)
11. He's a freaking madman!!
William ,   Israel   (08.30.13)
There is no reason to use incendiary bombs at all, especially on civilian areas. Atleast when Israel targeted a school, its students were not there, it had proof of it being used by terrorists to launch rockets and it used a pinpoint rocket in response. Assad's group is pure evil and he'll continue to make such criminal steps until the world acts. Each time the world hesitates, more die at his hands.
12. #7 context, and #9
(08.30.13)
Is Assad a horrible inhuman dictator? Yes, since 1975 his father and he have done such things and worse numerous times. That's how leaders stay in power in the Arab world. This behavior did not stop anyone, certainly not US, British, French and Israeli Left from worshipping Assad as a great leader. In the past two years both Assad and Obama's Sunni troops have done far worse crimes than napalming children. The only difference is that now that Assad doesn't serve Obama's interest, this napalm attack and the alleged CW attack last week were televised and reported to stir up anger, while previous crimes were ignored. The question Obama and his sycophants refuse to answer is what is the point of killing Assad? And #9: the 1000 was disinformation spread by Jihad. The real number is 300.
13. #4 - that was 40 years ago!!
William ,   Israel   (08.30.13)
People matured since then and opinions on such weapons have changed. The US also used nukes over 65 years ago but in doing so the whole world realize how dangerous they are and none have chosen to use them again. Will you accept the use of nukes by Iran in the future by justifying it with past US behavior? Honestly!
14. #12 - the West never said they wanted to kill Assad
William ,   Israel   (08.30.13)
but when a guy crosses this line and is getting out of control, then its time to act. Had he done it by himself, the West might not be in such a rush to act but he has the backing of Iran and Hizbullah which are more radical and tyrannical than Assad and that spells trouble for everyone. By the way, the number of people gassed was 3000 and those killed by it were 355 - that was given by Doctors without Borders who, from my last look, are not aligned with the rebels in Syria. Are you suggesting that because the dead is a smaller number that we should give him another chance?? The world was ready to react even heavier against Israel when less civilians were killed in Cast Lead and that was both unintentional and because they were used as human shields by Gazan terrorists.
15. Napalm droped on Syrian school
Richard ,   Clermont Fl USA   (08.30.13)
Probably the fighters was shooting from the school Palestinian style.
16. Know you jews are happy
Maxim ,   Down Under   (08.30.13)
Que sara, sara
17. this doesn't make much
arne ,   chicago usa   (08.30.13)
sense. why would assad do this especially now? somethings not going down right. I have some doubts on who did this sort of thing. let's not rush to judgement
18. Obama : I'll get around to it if it fits into my schedule
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (08.30.13)
And then maybe I'll take a page out of Israel's book and hit a few empty buildings and possibly a field or two.
19. What will come like the third?
Marek ,   Praha   (08.30.13)
Gas, napalm and? And the medial picture of The monster of monsters, Assad, will be finalized. After his undoubted military successes Assad turned himself to massacrating children??
20. #11: Yes his a "freaking madman" but ...
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (08.30.13)
Take a look at who is behind him!
21. lesson in history
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (08.30.13)
If you think what assad is doing to his people think back to the Japanese doing to the Chinese,philipinos,and americans soldiers. This has to be resolved in the same way,nuke the alawite district in Syria and that will stop this nonsense.
22. It's easy to identify napalm..
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.30.13)
...It was most likely white phosphorous..
23. # 4
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.30.13)
And you can suggest a nice way to kill people? We didn't target schools in Viet Nam. There are legitimate times and places to use Napalm same as for mines, bombs, etc. Schools are not one of them. You shouldn't point a finger at #1. At least they don't post with no name or location. He should be asking "Who are you to be questioning me?"
24. How do you know its true?
JMK ,   NYC   (08.30.13)
25. cannot believe BBC and its local reporters
bernard ross   (08.30.13)
All these stories are very similar to the libels fabricated about Israel. I cannot beleive anything the BBC reports from their ME reporters, they are proven liars. Anyone can fabricate such pictures and they already did in Mohammed al dura. although it is arab against arab,nothing they say is believable without verification. Showing these photos is pure BS and an example of trigger happy needs, Whgy believe know liars?
26. #21 Most stupid talkback of the day
(08.30.13)
Assad is killing his people, and to resolve it you want to nuke his people. Great! You say Assad is evil, because he bombs schools, but you want to nuke the "alawite district". Aaron, shall I tell you a secret? Alawites have schools too...
27. #21
Simon King ,   Sacramento, USA   (08.30.13)
Your logic is beyond retarded.
28. remember?
white phosphorus   (08.31.13)
wheres the outrage
29. Sounds like media is really desperate...
Daniel   (08.31.13)
...to replace Assad with jihadis. Remember how Israel is routinely accused in all things evil from using phosphorus of politically incorrect colours to forced sterilisation of immigrants. Absolutely all of those accusations have one thing in common - they are all canards that neither took place nor make any sense whatsoever. Sounds like Assad is getting the Israeli treatment - lynch by the media.
30. No third degree burns?
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (08.31.13)
Seems that Assad is using homeopathic doses of NAPALM. Or...this is another hoax. What is the next accusation going to be? That Assad forces rebel women to use tampons made of cactus leaves?
