Has Assad's SON dared America to invade Syria on his Facebook account?
The Daily Mail Online ^ | August 30, 2013 | Shari Miller

The 11-year-old son of Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, has apparently dared the United States to launch an attack, in a Facebook taunt that has been 'liked' by the children and grandchildren of other senior Syrian officials.

'I just want them to attack sooo much, because I want them to make this huge mistake of beginning something that they don’t know the end of it,' stated the post on an account said to belong to Hafez al-Assad.

The comments were posted in response to moves by the US to launch a strike in response to a chemical weapons attack on August 21....

However, the authenticity of the Facebook profile is hard to confirm.

While it shows a younger picture of Hafez, the owner's profile also states that he is a a graduate of Oxford University and a player for a Barcelona soccer team - neither of which are likely for an 11-year-old boy living in Damascus.

But it does also state that he is a graduate of a Montessori school in Damascus, a detail confirmed within a profile on Hafez's mother, Asma al-Assad, which appeared in Vogue in February 2011...........

The post has also attracted many 'likes' and comments from accounts appearing to belong to the families of members of Assad's administration.

Among these are comments apparently posted by the two children of Deputy Vice President Mohammed Nassif Khierbek, Ali and Sally, and three children of a former deputy defence minister, Assef Shawkat, who was killed in a bombing in July 2012.

A Syrian journalist from Damascus, who wished to remain anonymous, told the New York Times that the accounts belonging to Mr Shawkat's son, Bassel and daughters, Anisseh and Boushra, appeared to be authentic....

Well, since President Obama acts like an 11 year old, and has the reasoning capacity of a four year old, this makes perfect sense..

Get through to Obama with someone who is about our CiC’s mental age.

Even schoolboys feel comfortable taunting 0. What a total disgrace this entire administration had been and continues to be.

I can't figure out why we (U.S./West) don't leave the muslims (arab esp.) alone to kill each other? Just let them kill each other, and everyone will be better off for it.

Pick an example from history, or one from today...

Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, Lybia...odd how it never changes.

The management of Facebook is cracking down on threatening posts. Obama should unfriend him and report his threats to Facebook. That’ll show em

Our president want’s to fire a warning shot at Syria, but warning of what? If you’re going to fire a weapon, shoot to kill.

The heck with chemical weapons -- this will be his new causus belli.

Watch as he follows this up with a post saying that he intends to ask Sasha to the dance.

Isn't that the diplomatic equivalent of a Wag the Dog?

He says they were born to fight...

The region’s like Chicago street gangs on speed. Which side do we stand with? Doesn’t matter - both sides are the same.... A ‘win’ means nothing... and it could never be worth the price.

After Iraq and Afghanistan, and with Obama in office, the USA is not invading any country except for maybe France.
