Ghost fighters haunt Syria, while a new oil field is located. Spooky http://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.com/2011/08/ghost-figters-haunt-syria-while-new-oil.html

Enter the Shabiha!!!! Yes, the Shabiha. Shabiha means ghost. Syria is full of ghost fighters! Isn't that spooky and mysterious? And after 5 months of trouble making in Syria, this is the story the western backed "activists" are pushing this tact now to explain away their own terrorism. Here is what is being said. Pay attention to the language.

"It is not clear exactly who they are and to whom they are loyal, but the term "shabiha" has repeatedly been used to describe them."

Really? I have been following Syria for months now and this is the first time I have seen this term used at all? This group is allegedly so ghostly no one knows who they are or who they are loyal too.

Except for the "activists and Syria's National Organization for Human Rights, which is based in the UK. Together they know all there is to know about Shabiba and they are telling it to the BBC. And that my friend should say alot to you! Is it just me or does the Ghost fighter story sound tailor made for the Hollywood sci-fi crowd?

Syria announced yesterday it has found a new oilfield in Homs http://www.nowlebanon.com/NewsArticleDetails.aspx?ID=301354 Syria announced on Tuesday it has found a promising gas field in the central governorate of Homs. "This discovery opens new perspectives in the region of Qalamun and the Syrian company will continue its drilling," said Allawi, adding that the field was located in the Basin of Dau. He said Syria's natural gas production has reached 30.29 million cubic meters per day, up by three million cubic meters since last year. Oil production in Syria is about 380,000 barrels per day, Allawi added.

The nation's gas reserves, estimated at 284 billion cubic meters, may increase after the new discoveries in many parts of the country, Allawi added.
