#4 Makes you wonder how top heavy the Syrian forces are. Sadaam's force seemed to have more generals than majors. The guy might have been in charge of vending machine replenishment.

Yeah, apparently they killed him yesterday and then shot him again today. Assad called and said "Are you sure he's dead?", and then a shot rang out and the answer came back "Yes, sir, he's dead".
