i feel like i am writing a #iraq script filing on #syria today and knowing the suffering that iraq went through, my heart breaks 4 syria

RT @camanpour: CIA Senior tells me Syria vacuum has led al Qaeda to cross from Iraq. But ALQ has separate anti-Assad agenda. Not linked to people protests.

pundits keep talking #libya & #iraq model when debating #syria, but each nation unique & failure 2 C that will have devastating consequences

PM #maliki cannot B happy that #sadr is visiting #barzani in KRG, quite historic & potentially significant political move #iraq

RT @WomanfromYemen: Congratulations to #EllenJohnsenSirleaf, #LeymahGbowee & our very own #TawakkulKarman for the Nobel peace prize. Great day for #women #yemen

amazing & inspirational @noofasee, young #iraq woman activist we met who said "baghdad betrayed me" her story:

Annan warns of civil war if UN mission fails says "we cannot allow that 2 happen" -- what can viably be done 2 prevent? #syria

bomb explodes in vacinity of convoy carrying head of UN mission in #syria in daraa

leader of UN mission to #syria says unarmed observers cannot solve all the problems...realistic & not optimistic observation

activists say #annan style "quiet diplomacy" wont work in #syria...case & point 100+ dead on weds -- mockery of UN mission

#russia FM says #syria is interested in having #arableague observer mission continue & expand in numbers 2 cover all hot spots

RT @clancycnn: #Syria Bashar Ja'afar: Armed groups told to escalate attacks on Syrian Army troops during observer mission by "outside forces."

RT @PPLfeed: RT @CNN: RT @ParisaCNN: Today I attended the @Peabody_Awards with my colleagues @IvanCNN, @NicRobertsonCNN and @ArwaCNN....

RT @kellymcevers: Colleagues can't go home, even on foot. Bridges blocked. Can't reach their families on the phone. I'd call that a curfew #Baghdad #ALIraq

RIP 2 our colleagues killed in #homs, the price we pay 2 shed light on atrocities, the price #syria pays everyday 4 freedom

RT @washingtonpost: Colleagues recall Anthony #Shadid as extraordinary reporter, kind friend

one of our #iraq colleagues taking extra precautions now that US mil is gone, more fearful he will be targeted 4 working w/western network

As one of our #iraq colleagues put it "thank u america 4 getting rid of saddam but no gratitude 4 what followed" mistakes inexcusable

RT @journalismnews: Published yesterday: @arwaCNN on reporting from Syria and the impact of fallen journalist Marie Colvin on journalism

more protests in #syria, casualties, refugee flow into #turkey, deadly impact in #lebanon, latest from #cnn

#syria regime remains defiant, denounces US sanctions says will not impact its decision making

US & EU plan additional sanctions for #Syria. What impact do you think this is going to have?

the impact outside cairo in #egypt nile delta, just as intense emotions, but also different mood. #jan25 #cnn

Gen Odierno sits down w/us, reflects on last 7 yrs & says cld B yrs B4 we know impact war has had on #iraq, if worth it

24 yro female activist i met was in tears today, all stress & fear of last year, the constant nightmares...its just too much she said #syria

most activists we've spoken 2 very skeptical about youtube video showing a man allegedly being buried alive #syria

our piece: rebels saying no ceasefire, no outside help, activist says will B forced 2 turn 2 extremists 4 help #syria

RT @kellymcevers: Activist in Hama: Security forces told UN observers it was "too dangerous" for them to access site of explosion. And turned them away #Syria

activists say #annan style "quiet diplomacy" wont work in #syria...case & point 100+ dead on weds -- mockery of UN mission
