They call it the jineyee, Arabic for "genie" -- or crazy female. Standing at about 60 cm high, the rust-colored metal tube doesn't look like much. But it's what's inside that counts: 2 kg of yellow granular explosive material, hooked up to a trigger device that is remotely detonated.
The handful of Free Syrian Army members who gather in this safe house on the Turkish-Syrian border hope that the improvised explosive device (IED) will help even out the odds somewhat in what has become a brutal, vastly asymmetrical civil war in Syria.
This was the first batch of IEDs this group of Syrian military defectors and their civilian partners said they had put together. "We haven't been doing this for very long," a former officer said as he inspected the devices. "It took a few tries to get it right, the mix of materials. It was trial and error, and looking some things up on the internet." A 200-g device had been tested a day earlier. "It destroyed a tree," the former officer said. "One of these should take out a tank."
The Syrian opposition -- both political and military, inside Syria and those in exile -- has asked foreign powers and the U.N. to help set up a protected zone. They use different terms -- liberated area, humanitarian corridor, no-fly zone, a Syrian Benghazi -- but the idea is the same: a patch of territory outside President Bashar Assad's control that can serve as a headquarters for his enemies.....snip~

Seems Time Mag can get with the Rebels when they are on Turkey's side of the Border. Yet all they want is a little patch of ground so they can set up a HQ inside Syria. So that they can conduct a Civil-War.
Yesterday Obama and Biden stated Russia and China allowed Assad to go on a killing spree. Due to their vote with the Security Council. See when they talk such bullshit. Thats when the should have been hit by the media with.....well look what you did with Yemen and Selah. Got any answers for that. Especially since you gave him Immunity before any Arabs did.
