The Syrian Arab Army is collapsing! But I'm going to stay in Turkey... you know... just in case...
The war of hidden feelings:
A Washington Post journalist who got the chance to visit Hama:
"Everything looks calm, the city is beautiful, but there's a hidden sense of anti-govt feelings".
another one:
"All indications are the govt is in control, however not what people secretly say: Ahmad, a street vendor, not his name for security reason said the govt collapsed"!
Another one:
"The Syrian Army collapsed, but please make an intervention like Kosovo and Ivory Coast because we can't fight a collapsed army even we are in tens of thousands and backed by the entire NATO and Arab League members as well as israel, and the whole Sunni officers from the army has left it to join us"!
Welcome to modern journalism, it's everything else but journalism.
