TV station in Syria bombed; report finds growing 'contours of an insurrection'
Bombers killed at least seven people at a pro-regime Syrian satellite channel Wednesday, the government said, as world diplomats were making another try at ending the violence raging across the country.
"Terrorists planted explosive devices" in the headquarters of al-Ikhbaria, located near Damascus, killing three journalists and four security guards, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported. The attackers also ransacked and destroyed studios, the news outlet said.
"The massacre won't go unpunished," Information Minister Amre al-Zoubi said.

Why does this particular news not amaze me with it's shock and awe value any longer ?
Middle East already in the grip of a cycle of violence, death & destruction, thanks to "Humanitarian" wars, lust for power & greed is to erupt with consequences of unknowable dimensions. Horrific of course.

Lets have a good one, I'm feeling kind of sad. Wish I was like my good fellow Americans who go about their business with narry a care about what goes on. Forgive me , maybe that was a tad out of line.
@ saywhat
I understand how the continuance of these problems may weigh heavily on you. Take a step back and look at the big picture. Nothing is going to change what is going on, because mankind has got enough sense to do so. The greed associated with this has always been so and it's we the little people that will always be getting the short end of the stick.
My philosphy is "what the hell", if it's going to happen there is nothing you nor I or anyone can do about it. I know we like to think we can, but it's all folly. Just take each day as it comes and try concern yourself with you and yours first. The rest will take care of itself one way or the other.
Grandma and Grandpa were visiting the kids overnight, when Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in his son's medicine cabinet. He asked the son about using one of the pills, and the son said, "I don't think you should take one; they're very strong and very expensive."
"How much?", asked Grandpa.
"$10.00 a pill", answered the son.
"I don't care", said Grandpa, "I'd like to try one, and I'll leave the money under your pillow as soon as I break this $50.00 bill."
The next morning the son found $110.00 under his pillow. He said to Grandpa, "I told you each pill was $10.00, not $110.00."
"I know," said Grandpa, "The extra $100.00 is from Grandma."
Granny woke up wearing a smile and nothing else.....
Ever been on a two lane country road and had to follow a vehicle whose driver was just puttering along oblivious to fact he was holding up a long line of vehicles whose drivers had a need to hurredly get to, then
sometimes you have to honk your horn andflash your lights to get their attention.nd then pass them by crossing aline.

Let it consume you: no.

Cheer up, dear man; there is much beauty all aound us.
@ banasy©
Good afternoon to you. I like what you said, and you are correct about the beauty around us. A whole lot of that beauty exists of in the form of our friendships on these blogs.
Like everyone, I stay up to date with the happenings, but choose to deal with what I can control.
@bc(iah)©:
Why thank you, dear heart.
I agree totally with you!
"Friendships," you have to be joking. There is no beauty there.
@@bobcat
I guess that would depend on the individual on wether one sees beauty in a friendship.
Of course there is beauty in friendships. How can you think that all of these bloggers are friends? You know better!!!!
@ @bobcat
I never said that "all" these bloggers are friends. That would make me quite naive, now wouldn't it ? Believe me, I am in way naive.
All I said was there those of us here that do value the friendships we have formed on these blogs
A husband and wife stepped up to view the body of his mother-in-law. As he began to cry, his wife punched him and said: Why are you crying, you never liked my mother anyway. I know he replied, I thought I saw her move!
Groaner for the day, dear heart?
Lol, The guy just couldn't keep it together long enough, could he... had to get one last 'jab' in. hello Katman
To: @bobcat:
I am so sorry you have no friends here.
Disparage not who you do not know.
Oh that's right banasy, you think you know it all.
Yawn.
If you say so.
lmao @ banasy, its the motley crew again! One must be worthy of friends to have them, eh! And if you treat ppl like crap then dont be so surprised that you have no friends. And yea Mary, we know its you, your distinct writing style gives you away.
In the words of our dear departed friend, leeintulsa:

I miss him so.
Well a tv station gets bombed, the rebels must of learned that one from U S, there is no more viable target for US firepower than a broadcast studio.
We got em in the Balkans, Somalia! Latin America and we especially love those al'Jazeera targets.
Just for the heck of it in the Balkans we even got a Chinese embassy that was broadcasting news of US actions back to their home.
We only like our media people to be in bed, no its both, in bed and embedded.
