According to Arab media reports that have been verified – officials assassinated by his bodyguard of Syrian President life Heavy security around the hospital a – my mother in Damascus and in-hospital–
The Mossad wouldn’t take out Assad. They know that while he’s a Son of a Bitch, he keeps his people in line.
According to reports in the 'Arab Press' (www.eltira.org) Assad suffered serious bullet wounds yesterday evening (Saturday, 3/23) fired by his Iranian bodyguard, but remains alive in guarded condition.
He was immediately hospitalized at Shami des Dames Hospital and all surrounding roads are blocked.
According to reports in Belgian press, the bodyguard was upset that President Assad wasn’t doing enough to stem global warming.
Do we know if Gen. franco is still dead. What about chavez and castro?
And the Iranians......
Either that, or he was pissed he wasn’t doing more to end gun violence. /s
Iran will get most of syria, that’s part of the islamic crescent, their old territory of the Medes/Persians. Russia will get enough to be able to get their troops down into Armegiddo.
And if Russia and Iran fight each other for turf here, in the confusion of it this could be the time where Damascus gets turned to glass.
What is the body guards position on gay marriage is the most important question.
In addition (this from Moroccan press), many of Syria’s hi-tech and customer service jobs have been in recent years outsourced to India and China causing a wave of dissatisfaction among Syria’s middle class.
I actually agree. We will never know for sure how many times Israel and leaders of countries who “hate” Israel have had back channel discussions and agreements. It is that nebulous area between the “public” face and the “private” face. All nations do it, and sometimes, in the case of Obama visiting Israel, things can only be talked about leader to leader because phone calls, written notes, various electronic communications, and intermediaries or underlings won’t suffice.
Prone.
Headline is:
...Assad is said to have been killed by a bodyguard. ...According to Eltira.org, he is said to have been wounded by bullets fired by his Iranian bodyguard, but has not perished. ...But other journalists affirm that they have verified thta he has died....
Quick & dirty translation
Russia has a naval base in Syria, it is their only base in the Mediterranean.
If that base is no longer available, guess where the perfect place is for them to have a new base?
Cyprus.
*Cue the scary music*
The very minute these "Freedom Fighters" occupy an area, they massacre the Christians .. members of a Christian Community that goes back to the actual time of Christ.
Robert's Rules of Order to not apply to relations between the various incredibly inbred tribal sects of camel-and-goat-schtuppers that populate the Middle East. Assad is not President of the Ladue Rose Club. Running these cesspits is more like Whack-a-Mole with nuclear weapons and poison gas.
We (a) have no need to take sides
(b) If we are stupid enough to do so, perhaps we ought to back Assad.
Bad time to be under the thumb of a coupla assholes like BHO and JFK. Kerry had the Massholes convinced he was an Irishman, related in fact, to the Kennedy Klan. Obama has the low-info slackers who elected him convinced he was an American.
Assad, like the House of Saud, is one of a hell of a lot better than what is sure to follow. Watch.
I thought people were mad because Assad was a staunch opponent of sending women into combat.
Nothing on CNN.
Crap........if he lives, will he be running for POTUS in 2016?
Senior members of the ruling Ba’ath party just found out that Assad kept all the party funds on deposit in banks in Cyprus.
