Remember all that BS about 'smoking out terrorists wherever they are harbored'? Well, actually, there are evil terrorists and there are 'rebels'...
Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague has said that his country will recognize the Syrian rebels as a "legitimate representative" of the Middle Eastern country.

Hague made the announcement as he arrived in Tunisia to attend the so-called "Friends of Syria" meeting in Tunis, media reports said.

"We, in common with other nations, will now treat them and recognize them as a legitimate representative of the Syrian people", Hague said, referring to armed terror gangs who have taken arms against the popular government of President Bashar al-Assad in a few towns across the country.

In yet another example of the UK's double standards on foreign policy issues, William Hague described President Assad's government as a "criminal regime" and vowed to provide weapons and intelligence to rebels and terrorist snipers fighting the Syrian government forces and civilian population in the country.

Britain and its allies are providing the rebels inside Syria with intelligence and various types of weaponry, while at the same time they are arming the despotic regimes in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia against their own people.

In Bahrain, the UK government has continued selling weaponry to the despotic regime of al-Khalifa irrespective of continuing political oppression of the people.

Official figures revealed that Britain approved the sale of military equipment valued at more than £1 million to the Bahraini regime after the violent crackdown on anti-regime protesters a year ago.

According to the figures, the sale included licenses for weapon sights, rifles, artillery and parts for military training aircraft.

Meanwhile, the former head of the British police has introduced crowd control tactic of "kettling" in Bahrain, where he has been hired by al-Khalifa regime to crush dissent.

The Bahraini regime, whose police used excessive force and torture in its brutal crackdown on anti-regime protesters last year, has employed British police assistant commissioner John Yates in an attempt to both clear the name of its brutal police forces and crush the one-year old revolution of people against the ruling family.

Bahraini regime of al-Khalifa has imposed Martial law in the tiny Persian Gulf island nation since March last year and deployed troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to help crush the uprising.

In Saudi Arabia, where the al Saud regime enjoys the backing of Britain and its allies, the regime has threatened people of Eastern Province with massacre.

Yet, hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in Qatif and Tarut Island on Friday and chanted slogans against the al Saud family. They protested against the ruling family's brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protests and demanded the immediate release of political prisoners.
