On Noam Chomsky
Sometimes, even a professor doesn’t have a clue … just amazing.

Major Offensive By Terror Groups on Aleppo
.
After a cessation of hostilities and a lull in Russian and Syrian air strikes for a humanitarian corridor to rebel held district of Aleppo … the moderate rebels and jihdists have joined forces on a major offensive on government held positions aroun Aleppo. Thanks to an influx of modern and heavy Grad artillery, a barrage of missiles and suicide car bombs … humanitarian aid my ass! Using civilians as a human shield, similar to all major urban guerilla tactics as we witness with IS in Nineveh province and the siege of Mosul in Iraq.
Major Aleppo offensive launched as Syrian rebels attack government forces
A senior official in the Levant Front rebel group, which fights under the Free Syrian Army (FSA) banner, told Reuters: “There is a general call-up for anyone who can bear arms.
“The preparatory shelling started this morning.”
The attack appeared to have been mostly launched by rebel fighters from outside the city against government forces that hold its western districts.
A spokesman for Ahrar al-Sham, a large Islamist rebel group, also said in a social networking message an offensive on Aleppo had begun.
Factions involved in the attack include Free Syrian Army groups and Jaish al-Fatah, an alliance of Islamist factions, the Levant Front official said.
