1:23 i agree, those eyes. I've seen them before. They tell you alot about what will happen to you soon. Crazy fucking bastards.

And by the way, by supporting these "rebels" the West might be conned in an unprecedented way! The so called "rebels" might be no others than the same type of bastards who hijacked the planes 9/11

His camo uniform looks American. His accent sure sounds like home to me. He could of grown up in my neighborhood. The slang and accent are pitch perfect. My guess, based on what my ears tell me, is that he is from somewhere here on the West coast. California I think. The original poster seems to have alot of this stuff from Syria. Perhaps we have secretly entered the war on the side of the rebels. It would fit with all that has been done so far.

Maybe he is/was a Gadahn traitor-type looser ?

It is possible America is sending SF in, but he wouldn't have taken video of himself if that were the case.
AlQaeda is good at stealing USA/UK/French etc. military uniforms. They send their people into train into the Afghan Army, ya know learn military basics and bring all the shit back to them.

I wonder what brought him there. Did he convert to Islam? Many muslim wifes? Or better yet, was he in an Al-Qaeda high-school?
Yes I think those "rebels" are suspicious. Their methods are unsound and smells like AQ....

at first no but the AQ affiliated divisions have been getting more weapons and medicine so many fighters have left their brigades to join the fundamentalist divisions

UPDATE

'I am alive and well chilling in Istanbul having a martini:' Rogue U.S. Army veteran fighting for Syrian rebels confirms he is ALIVE after pro-Assad group posts video claiming he's been killed

A U.S. Army veteran who was fighting for Syrian rebel forces says he is alive and well after a pro-Syrian government group posted a video on YouTube claiming that he had been killed.

The bloodied face of someone resembling Eric Harroun, 30, of Phoenix, was shown in the video, which was posted Wednesday under the title, 'Terrorists, including American Extremist "Eric Harroun" Have Been Terminated.'

But Harroun told MailOnline from his personal email account on Friday that 'Syrian Media must be smoking something, because I am alive and well chilling in Istanbul having a martini at the moment.'

MailOnline obtained Harroun's email address from a family member and has communicated with him in the past using the same email address.

The graphic five-minute video, which carries the logo for a pro-Syrian government website, was first reported by AOL Defense writer Colin Clark.

The Pentagon said it was aware of the video earlier Friday but could not confirm whether Harroun wasalive or dead.

'We are aware of the reports and we're watching them,' Pentagon spokesman Steve Warren told MailOnline.

Footage in the video shows charred, dead bodies burning in a street. A group of men can be seen throwing a blanket over one of the bodies and carrying it to a truck.

The person filming appears to be an American, at one point speaking English in an American accent, and someone in the comment section of the YouTube video remarked that it could be Harroun filming. At the end of the video, the image of the bloodied man - the one that resembles Harroun - is displayed for a couple seconds.

The video was posted following reports earlier this week that Harroun had left Syria for Turkey and that he had joined al Qaeda-linked group Jabhat al-Nusra after losing his Syrian friends in the heat of battle. MailOnline has decided not to link to the video due to its graphic content.

'Getting into al-Nusra is not rocket science,' he said in an interview with Fox. 'It just takes balls and brains.'

Harroun's family vehemently denies that he has joined the terrorist-backed group, claiming that he is only helping Syrian rebel forces.

Harroun, who is known among Syrian rebels and loyalists as 'The American,' joined the U.S. Army in 2000 and he was discharged with full disability pay for an injury in 2003 without ever having seen battle, according to his father.

He was injured while riding in a pickup truck that hit a tree and he now has a steel plate in his head, his father Darryl Harroun told Fox.
'Now he has mood swings and what-not,' he said. 'He was already suffering from depression before that, and the accident just kind of multiplied it,' the elder Mr Harroun said he frequently talks to his son by phone.

He said he doesn't agree with what Eric is doing but can't get him to stop.

'He just loves that part of the world,' his father said. 'We scratch our heads and wonder what the hell he's doing.

'I told him, "You're never going to change those people's minds over there." But he says they treat him like a hero.'

Eric's life has changed dramatically from the days when he worked at Artisan Mortgage company in Phoenix, Arizona from 2006 to 2008 where he described his job as finalizing 'applications for home loans or second mortgages,and a lot of other boring paperwork.'

Eric Harroun revels in his 'hero' status and brags on Facebook and in YouTube videos of his bloody exploits in the Middle East.

His Facebook page is littered with photos of himself brandishing handguns, rifles, mortars and other weaponry.

In a photo of himself holding a mortar in one hand and a rifle in the other that he posted on Facebook, he writes, 'Lol Army of Darkness, This is my BOOM STICK. Lol.'

A lit cigarette hangs out of his mouth in the image and in a similar photo featuring a sniper rifle, where he writes, 'Ready to tear Bashar Al-Assads [sic] Army and the Shabehah apart!!'

He describes himself as a Sunni Muslim on Facebook and writes about his hatred of Israel and Zionists. Under his 'Favorite Quotations' section of his profile he writes, 'The only good Zionist is a dead Zionist.'

In a YouTube video uploaded in mid-January, Harroun warns Assad that his days are 'numbered.'

'Bashar Assad, your days are numbered,' he says in the video, where he is surrounded by several rebel fighters.

'You are going down in flames. You should just quit now, while you can, and leave. You are going to die, no matter what. Where you go we will find you and kill you. Do you understand?'

At another point, he changed his Facebook status to read that he was 'LMAO at Bashar Al-Assads Speech today!!!!!'

The Syrian rebel group Amr ibn al-’Aas Brigade told Fox that 'The American' was working with them until last month - about the time he reportedly joined al-Nusra.

Harroun's father said he fears for his son's safety and has little doubt that he will lose him battles abroad.

'I know one day I'm going to get a message from over there, telling me my son is dead,' he said.
