"They only use IEDs as a last resort, for means of escape." I don't believe this. I know everyone is trying to paint them as saintly revolutionaries, but the simple fact is that, ever since Algeria's war for independence, use of bombs (a.k.a., IEDs) has been a staple tactic. Yes, they will likely kill just as many civilians as one's true enemies (hence denying that they use them as a primary weapon), but, then again, the anarchy created by that indiscriminate killing can only be good for the insurgents: it discredits the regime as the sole provider of impunity. I simply cannot believe that they refuse to use a tactic that simply works.
I also thought it interesting that the sniper in the black robes and cap said he was fighting Assad because he's an American "double agent." Quote; "Today we are talking about Israel and America. He is no different from them. He is a double agent for Israel and America."
