This article is more fairy tale than fact.

There's a better overview of the situation to date here.

The following video is also very enlightening regards the current situation on the ground.

I agree with Geoff of Perth that Paul Craig Roberts is a far better source of information on this topic.

One might write off the crazy advocacy of stepping up the proxy war against Russia as the ravings of a deluded professor; but it is frightening when a no fly zone is the policy of H. Clinton. Russia has moved in advanced missile systems capable of shooting down American planes; and catastrophic consequences would follow.
The media and professorial experts have concentrated on sex and ignored the bits of policy on Syria voiced in the debate.

The above is amongst the worst propaganda to try and gain support for the US and other western powers trying to implement "regime change" in Syria as they have in many other countries. Whatever faults of existing governments, the puppets and stooges replacing them are usually worse. In the case of Syria, the secular government which is more democratic than any other in the Middle East refused to allow a pipeline to carry Qatari gas to Europe and reduce that supplied from Russia. Also Zionists like the author would obviously like Syria split into small Muslim states provoked into fighting each other to enhance future possibilities of picking them off to create a much larger "Greater Israel." Direct illegal military action was unacceptable, so they have been covertly sponsoring Islamic terrorists to try and do their dirty work. The Russians, Iranians and Hezbellah are legally helping defeat the terrorists.

People who have kept an eye on alternate news sites now widely accessible thanks to the Internet are much more aware what has really been going on than those who have only heard what has been reported by Western mainstream media. Much of the most scathing factual information has been provided by authors from the USA and sites based there. eg www.paulcraigroberts.org, www.consortiumnews.com,www.informationclearinghouse.com, www.globalresearch.ca, www.21stcenturywire.com, www.syrianperspective.com, www.moonofalabama.org. Others worth checking include, www.southfront.org, www.sputniknews.com, www.almasdarnews.com, www.sana.sy/en, and www English.farsnews.com. The latter currently features detailed updates of the military situation in Syria.

Here's a saddening but interesting piece of trivia.
It was under Bill Clinton presidency that the laws were changed that allowed the media consolidate into the 6 major US news networks we have today.

Funny how the the most important issues being US elections and Syrian war are issues the Clinton's are benefiting from.
