Syria: Nobel Peace Laureate Tells Her Account of What She Witnessed


Published on Jul 9, 2013
Nobel Peace Prize laurete, Mairead Maguire tells her account of her visit to Syria. While Maguire was in Syria she discovered that the people the U.S. are funding are violent groups and do not want peace in Syria. Her her view is that Syria is being used as a proxy war by the U.S., Great Britain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.


40,000 well-funded, well-armed foreign Jihadists attached to Al-Qaeda raping, torturing, murdering. Being funded and armed by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Britain, the USA. "Arming terrorists".

Who would have thought that. She seems to know what she's talking about since she's talked to the people there.

We're still financing worldwide terrorism while bankrupting cities, shutting down schools and defunding food stamps.

I mean, I knew every 9/11 Truther here at DU was working the "stay out of Syria" line like there was no tomorrow, but to actually start posting videos from these cretins at WeAreChange.org in GD?

Whatever. Ms. Maguire needs to find new friends. She's probably unaware of their history.
