    Now UN is deeply concerned  because the Syrian resistance are in possession of heavy weapons including tanks. Yes they have tanks because many solders defected with tanks and some of the tanks were captured by the free Syrian Army. 

    The UN feels that only Bashar is entitled to have heavy weapon including war plane and attack helicopter and the resistance must not have any stringer missile to defend themselves. Well Today I have seen one video where the free Syrian Army shot down a attack Helicopter but the arms they are using not that strong like stringer missile. 

    As soon as the UN see that the Free Syrian Army is getting stronger by the help of Allah they are panicked because they are loosing control and the Syrian resistance is not depending on any one but Allah. So how can we fix another puppet? They wont listen to us like the Iranian did in Iraq , Afghanistan and in Libya. 

    Hey UN do you remember how promptly you send NATO to destroy Libya for oil?  Now here you dont even consider a military intervention but also you dont wish to arm the resistance when you clearly see the atrocities by Dog bashar and on top when these brave resistance secure some arms as a war booty you cant stand it. Syria will be your graveyard inshallah.
