    "A YOUNG girl waits to be rescued by in the next to her dead little sister after Assad regime airstrikes demolished her home."

    "As she cowers in what remains of her family's home, only the hand of her dead sister can be seen poking out of the rubble."

    Another 'Douma'?

    "The girl was named as Aseel Qatran by the White Helmets rescuers, who said they spent two hours freeing her from the rubble."

    Yep, bring on the children - but this time give them a name to make it more emotive. :roll: :yawn:

    Some of those photos do look fake. The 'blood' on the girl looks like paint and why would her trousers be covered in that pattern of red. Also one photo is captioned "A man trapped underneath rubble" though he is clearly not trapped.

    This reminds me of a sketch from Drop the Dead Donkey where a small teddy bear was carried by a TV news reporter when ever he was reporting in a war zone. He would place the bear next to rubble so he could report about the devastation by bombs on children and talk about the "child's teddy bear is all that is left"

    Time to leave Syria. Time to stop propping up the opposition. Assad is a terrible guy but there is no viable future Syria without him. Its that or Muslim extremism.

    Why? He's on our side, killing our enemies before they kill us? I mean be a bit grateful??

    Actually the source of that story doesn't really add much gravitas to it - the effing White Helmets, often staffed by IS members.

    Yes, and they'll be faked too.

    Hey, the whole war is faked, unless Trump says it's real.

    The girl is covered in 'blood' but not one bit of the ground under her has any sign of blood drops and what sort of injury would cause that blood splatter pattern on her trousers.

    Notice that the man in the photo captioned "His face was soaked in blood" has more 'blood' on his face than is shown in the other photos of him.

    Photographers appear to have touched up the photos for effect

    The reality of blown up bits of people just doesn't make good copy.

    That 'blood' is painted on. Notice that, with all that blood on her head, the eyes are clear as are the nostrils. Funny the way blood flows, eh?

    How am I loving it to say you're saying it's fake? You're the one saying that people's suffering isn't real and war is really just so much fun.

    You're saying that the blood looked like paint, which means that someone was faking the whole scene.

    What? Someone would fake a scene in a bunker with kids ('We must think of the children.'??) covered in blood and having hoses squirted at them to wash off the 'chlorine' which was in 'barrel bombs'? Surely nobody would do that . . . would they? I find it hard to believe.

    So do I, but that seemed to be what you were saying.

    Sarcasm is REALLY hard to read on the Internet. And don't you think it's in bad taste here?

    For suggesting that an apparent atrocity is being faked? No, not at all in bad taste - it should be exposed if it isn't the truth?

    I suppose so. What motivation would anyone have for faking this?

    Propaganda? It is such an easy way of giving a false impression, especially when it's a video recording. It has been proven that the Douma 'chemical attack' in Syria wasn't perpetrated by Assad as was widely publicised in the western MSM, but by various terrorist organisations.
