According to the Little Man, every time his boyfriend's regime hits civilians, all these civilians are terrorists in the Little Man's mind. Those who are actually there (like reporters who are not afraid to go out like the Little Man) see what is happening and give their reports to their respective news outlets.

You are actually repeating al-Qaeda propaganda while you carefully avoid real civilian casualties that are caused by the terrorists.

Typical Kerry diplomacy...

US is willing to extend Syria truce despite violations
Sep 19,`16 -- Secretary of State John Kerry scrambled Monday to try to salvage Syria's fractured week-old truce after the Syrian military announced it was over amid numerous violations and apparent Russian unwillingness to press Damascus on the point.

The State Department said it was prepared to extend the cease-fire window in the hopes that if it held, the U.S. and Russia could then turn to their planned military cooperation against the Islamic State militants and al-Qaida-linked groups in Syria. The latest developments placed added importance on a meeting Tuesday of the International Syria Support Group, or ISSG, which is comprised of countries with a stake in the conflict and endorsed the truce, to be led by Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. "Well, the Syrians didn't make the deal," Kerry told reporters in New York. "The Russians made the agreement. So we need to see what the Russians say; but the point, the important thing is the Russians need to control (Syrian President Bashar) Assad, who evidently is indiscriminately bombing, including of humanitarian convoys. So let's wait and see, collect the facts. We need to see where we are, and then we'll make a judgment. But we don't have all the facts at this point."

Meanwhile, an official with the Syrian Red Crescent said aid trucks operated by the group and destined for a rebel-held area in Aleppo province were hit by an airstrike, as warplanes resumed their bombings in Aleppo province. State Department spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. is ready to work with Russia to strengthen the terms of the cease-fire agreement and expand deliveries of humanitarian aid. But he added that Russia must clarify its position on the status of the truce. Russia took the side of the Syrian government, blaming the rebels for violating the truce. Russia's Foreign Ministry said the failure of Syrian rebels to adhere to the truce "threatens the cease-fire and U.S.-Russian agreements."

The ministry statement came after the Russian military said that continuing rebel violations made it "meaningless" for the Syrian army to respect the deal. The Syrian military said earlier Monday that the cease-fire had expired. Kirby noted that the cease-fire arrangement was agreed to by the United States and Russia, which is responsible for the compliance of the Assad government. "We are prepared to extend the cessation of hostilities, while working to strengthen it and expand deliveries of assistance," Kirby's statement said. "We will be consulting with our Russian counterparts to continue to urge them to use their influence on Assad to these ends."

The Latest: Monitoring group: 12 dead in airstrike on convoy
Sep 19,`16 -- The Latest on the developments in Syria, where a Russia-U.S.-brokered cease-fire, now in its seventh day, is hanging in the balance after numerous violations (all times local):

12:15 a.m.

A Syrian activist monitoring group says that 12 aid workers and truck drivers were killed when their humanitarian aid convoy was hit by airstrikes in Aleppo province. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of activists inside the country, reported the casualty figures on Monday. The report could not be independently verified. Jan Egeland, humanitarian aid coordinator in the office of the UN envoy for Syria, told The Associated Press in a text message that the Syrian Red Crescent convoy carrying U.N. supplies had been "bombarded." Egeland added, "It is outrageous that it was hit while offloading at warehouses."

10:15 p.m.

An official with the Syrian Red Crescent says aid trucks operated by the group and destined for a rebel-held area in Aleppo province has been hit by an airstrike, as warplanes resumed their bombings in Aleppo province. The aid convoy was part of a routine dispatch from government-held Aleppo to rural rebel-held parts of the province. There was no immediate comment from the government. A U.N. official said the report is still being verified. The official had earlier told The Associated Press there will be no U.N. staff with a planned convoy to the area. It was not clear if they were the same convoys.

Lt.-Gen. Sergei Rudskoi of the Russian Military General Staff, speaks to the media at a Russian Defense Ministry building in Moscow, Russia, Monday, Sept. 19, 2016. Rudskoi said that it has become "meaningless" for the Syrian government forces to observe the U.S.-Russia-brokered truce in view of continuous rebel violations.​

Civil Defense volunteer Ibrahim Alhaj said rescue efforts at the scene of the attack continue. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the attack. A volunteer with the Red Crescent says the aid convoy with U.N. participation was hit in Uram al-Kubra. The officials and the volunteer all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters. - Sarah El Deeb and Philip Issa in Beirut, Albert Aji in Damascus

10 p.m.

The Russian military says that militants from al-Qaida's branch in Syria are attacking government positions in Aleppo. The Russian military's Reconciliation Center in Syria said the attack late Monday followed a massive rocket and artillery barrage. It said the militants are attacking Syrian army positions near a military academy and living quarters on southwestern outskirts of Aleppo, adding that the Syrian troops are fighting to repel the attack.

The fighting comes as the U.S.-Russia-brokered cease-fire in Syria was left hanging by a thread by escalating violence. Syria's military declared Monday that the week-long truce was over as the government and opposition traded accusations over mounting violations. The U.S. said it's prepared to extend the fractured truce, and Russia, after blaming rebels for the violations, suggested it could still be salvaged.
