Sydney Hostage Siege Unfolding

[Lauren Johnson]

Here's commentary from b at Moon of Alabama.

The Abbott regime sent its heavily armed regime forces and shabiha to storm a chocolatey place where a moderate anti-Abbott rebel was protecting peaceful protesters.
Standing under a black version of the flag of Saudi Arabia the protesters had presented (vid) simple and reasonable demands. Instead of agreeing to step down or to at least to offer a compromise Abbott coldly rejected all of them.
During the guns blazing assault (vid) by regime forces the honorable moderate guard, Mufti Sheik Haron, was killed and several peaceful protesters were severely wounded.
Why didn't Obama provide them with weapons to defend themselves?
