by | Dec 18, 2012 | Interviews

Patrick Cockburn, journalist with The Independent, discusses Syria’s “descent into Holy War;” why the Assad government isn’t on the verge of collapse; the very few competent Western media figures reporting on Syria; the Al-Qaeda style public beheadings scaring minority Alawites and Christians; and how US-NATO support motivates the rebels to keep fighting and reject peaceful compromise.
