  1. The Independent has no verifiable sources to support the claim. It claims "his soldiers gunned down 100s of civilians". But in fact the link is to clashes between the security forces and armed Alawite militia. Assad's supporters are mounting attacks against the security forces. A credible link to the contrary? This is always your tactic, right? Quote some bs article without foundation or verifiable facts, and then challenge anyone to disprove it. There is no proof in the first place, and as Hitchens rightly said, what can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. Where's your proof? Some two bit articles from MSM? Even the dubious Syrian Human Rights Observatory can't come up with any. You're just spreading lies.
  2. Did YOU read your links? The evidence to the contrary iscthere. Where does it say it was the security forces who committed the atrocities? Everything is an unverified allegation. It has always been known there is deep deep antagonism towards the Alawites from many Syrians after what the Russian backed Alawite Assad did to the Syrian people. And who can blame them? Sharaa is doing his best to contain the inter-faith animosity, but it runs very deep. Sharaa has made a lot of progress over what many saw as insurmountable hurdles in trying to move Syria forward. Many in the West just don the blinkers and carry on screaming about head choppers and baby burners. It's revolting language. They should be prosecuted. Goebbels would have been proud of them I'm sure.
  3. I guess because in the past scamming your countrymen from a foreign location has allowed them to escape prosecution while reaping the massive benefits.
  4. Unbelievable rubbish. They're not jihadists. Neither did they slaughter 100s. And that graphic - mind boggling!
  5. Every day, same same. Who's paying them 1.6 million pm? Do the police ever get any further in their enquiries? How are the payments made? Thai bank account? And where are the punters? Is it slots? So many questions, and so few answers.
  6. It was a long time ago so my info would be way out of date. I don't remember costs. I paid myself as I wasn't insured at the time, so it wouldn't have been enormous. Maybe 30k? The gastro doctor prescribed the procedure. I stayed in overnight. I think the pre-med, the incredibly strong laxative they make you take along with a lot of water, actually got rid of the problem I was experiencing. After that I had no further internal examinations for maybe 10 years. I never had a problem at Trad Bangkok hospital. Used them for many years as I lived on Koh Mak. But that was the only IP experience I had with them. You could go to Chantaburi as there are a couple of private hospitals there, or try Trad government hospital. YMMV!
  7. Wrlife have agreed cover for keyhole surgery for removal of early stage tumour on colon, and all pre op and post op procedures. Took a week or so, but it's expensive so I was happy they took their time. At BPH. They've covered all my claims to date, involving 12 days IP. Not difficult to deal with, either directly or through their agent. I had to hand deliver medical records from a previous hospital (Memorial) to the BKK offices of their underwriters, Assist International. Had a really good lady Bolt driver who found the offices, tucked away in a large modern office block off Rama IX. Extremely nice people there, English well spoken, impressive set up, IMHO. I was glad I made the trip. Put a lot of demons to rest. And my 2 year AFIB moratorium has completed, so I'm now covered for coronary. 10,700 pm at age 75.
  8. Heard Zoom was an alternative but not tried it (and not read 7 pages of comments either. Could somebody summarise the alternatives?).
