It is interesting that the lion's share of western reporting seems to
be from European reporters and agencies, who are taking very serious
risks to get the stories out.

The US journalists know that Obama will not choose to start a war during
an election. It has to show that it worth while giving him the Nobel
Peace Prize. Also his supporters want to spend the money on schools and
hospitals.

That Nobel Peace Prize didn't stop Obama from bombing the tar out of
Libya last year, so why would it stop him from bombing Syria?

For that matter, why would the Nobel Peace Prize stop Obama from
bombing IRAN?

Simple there was no presidential election last year.

A Presidential election might make matters worse: Obama might decide
to bomb Iran TO win re-election!

It seems artillery fire is continuing in Homs.

Interesting as the Syrian government said some time ago that they had
regained control there.
