WASHINGTON – As the Syrian government braces for a possible U.S. attack in response to the gas attacks on civilians near Damascus, there are increasing indications that its leadership is positioning people as human shields around sensitive targets.

Sources say that the Syrian leadership has begun to place thousands of prisoners at sites thought to be targets of the U.S. cruise missiles that would be expected should President Barack Obama go ahead with a “limited” response to what the U.S. administration believes was the use of poison gas on Syrian citizens on Aug. 21 in a region on the outskirts of Damascus.

The immediate concern is that with distant targeting of military sites, the United States may not have the timely intelligence to avoid sites surrounded by people, thereby resulting in further mass casualties.

In one case, prisoners have been seen being bused from prisons to the military sites.

According to one tweet, “thousands of prisoners are inside the Mezzeh Military airport hangers, gym and other facilities.”

“(Syrian President Bashar) Al-Assad’s fascist regime is amassing activists and civilians in prisons in military locations that may be targets for foreign forces,” according to a statement of the Turkey-based Syrian National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition.

“Using civilians as human shields is a breach of international humanitarian law and those responsible must be held accountable for crimes against humanity,” the statement said.

President Obama has announced that Syria will pay a heavy price for gassing its own 

citizens! I understand his anger. Look at the horror of this atrocity as... Oh, wait; my bad. 

That's the FBI gassing a church full of women and children with a poison gas that is 

illegal to use on enemy troops in time of war, then burning the place to the ground in 

Waco, Texas. Never mind. My bad! Oh but that was "Another President" 

Well what kind of war crime would you like me to pick of Mr. Obama's for you? —
