#3  Those are some big numbers and a very rapid increase. Why is this such a big week? Those weapons from Benghazi finally arrive in theater?

#2  total civilian fatalities (including deserters from Assad's army who have been killed before joining rebel forces) now exceed 40,000.

total fatalities (including military and police and Hezbollah and Persian special ops) will probably top 50,000 by the end of the week
