Marie Colvin Dead: Video Purports To Show American Journalist Killed In Homs (WARNING: GRAPHIC)

Footage released by OneNews purports to show the bodies of Western journalists buried under rubble following an attack in Syria. American war reporter Marie Colvin and French photojournalist Remi Ochlik were killed Wednesday morning during an intense barrage on Homs.

In her final report for the Sunday Times, Marie Colvin painted a bleak picture of the situation in Homs, including a shortage of food and supplies.

According to the activist in the video below, Le Figaro reporter Edith Bouvier and Sunday Times photographer Paul Conroy were also wounded. In a video released Thursday, the two Western journalists appealed for help.

Over 5,400 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began last March, according to UN estimates. Wednesday's attack claimed at least another 74 lives.

This thing has flown way out of hand. I don't even want to see how it ends.

Why are the Syrian military doing this? Why are they not killing the man ordering the deaths of their people? Why are they going along with him. Are they all cowards? Is none of them willing to die in order to save their own people? Where are the brave? Surely all the men who serve in the military in Syria cannot be cowards who murder their own families and friends from the safety of miles away. It is one thing to bomb someone who has the ability to throw a bomb back at you but the Syrian military know they are safe in bombing their own families. What a cowardly country, what a cowardly, despicable way to behave. I actually agree with Russia on this. We cannot intercede for them. They are doing this to themselves. The Syrian military is as guilty as the President of Syria. Where would our intercession even begin? If we go in and attack the military the families of the soldiers killed will want to destroy us even though they are the ones being killed now. Better to get the one or two sane people out of there and let the rest self-destruct.

Why do these people kill their own? Are they so full of self-loathing? The people who are actually pushing the buttons to send the bombs in must hate their own parents, children, brothers and sisters in order to be able to do this thing. They are killing their own people savagely and with no concern. If the victims are as blood thirsty as the soldiers, and since they come from the same blood, I have to think they well may be, then perhaps the entire country is full of insane murderers. Perhaps the men doing the bombing are themselves aware of this and that is why they do it. One thing is clear to me and that is I would not want a Syrian as a neighbor, a friend, a business partner or any connection whatever. It is one thing for a mad dictator to order the bombings it is another for the men with their fingers on the buttons to actually DO it. I would take a gun and shoot the president himself before I would push the button to murder my family, friends or neighbors. How can these men do this to their own families?

I don't pretend to know a great deal about foreign policy matters, but what I would like to know is, how and when does the UN decide to stand around with it's hands in it's pockets and when does it invervene in an action that so clearly is targeting civilians? I don't get it and I never will. Something must be done. Syria has been a huge problem for so long. Everybody knows that's how so many foreign fighters got into Iraq during our little foray into that country, so why did it have to come to this? Brave people inside the country started this counting on the help they would get from the outside once they showed how determined they were to overthrow Assad. How many more have to die? They need invervention NOW. Send in NATO troops immediately. SCREW the security council. Please, 2 of the biggest human rights violators in the world are going to care another country is murdering it's citizens? Not in a milion years.

Come on folks, someone stop this. The world has come together so many times to stop atrocities, what's missing in this one? Oil? Is that more important than human beings? What's with the Arab nations? They want us to take action while they cuss out the Big Satan because they won't? I wonder what the rest of the Arab world is thinking? They see their own under attack and they are quiet. Where is that martial spirit of Jihad against your own kind when they kill children of Allah?

Well said and I think it's time the Arab nations were publicly called out on this,repeatedly,until they respond.F & F for spotting the elephant in the room.
