Saturday, August 4, 2012 Massacres in Aleppo, Syria "Responsibility to Protect" crumbles as Western-armed terror front slaughters civilians while foreign sponsors attempt to tie hands of Syrian security forces.  by Tony Cartalucci  August 4, 2012 – For the people of Aleppo, their only hope is Syria’s security forces restoring order.
