This is VERY telling, John and Doves. Since when did CNN give airtime to anyone they didn't approve of? A short run time of 8.46, this interview is full of subtle information. Not a single word about the USA or Israel, the rebel leader, Abu Jolani, appears to be solely focused on the current Syrian regime. Hmmm! Take note of what he says about Iraq and what is discussed re Iran and Hezbollah. I can't help feeling that we are watching some grand, tragic opera. A West End/Broadway smash hit. There is so much more to this than is being told.
In the 2nd link is a map showing the distance between Hama and Damascus. A mere 2 hour and 30 minute journey!!
The apostle, Paul, was on his way to Damascus to discuss the annihilation of the people who believed in Jesus Christ. Paul was shown the light before he arrived in Damascus. Please see the 3rd link below for a wonderful description of this Biblical story.
