This is what we have become. This is the depravity to which we have all sunk. Aleppo has fallen and so has humanity. We are disgraced
Sad to see so many tainted journalists cheering on terrorist groups just because Saudi Arabia wants to make a pipeline through Syria and has to kill Assad to do it.
A different perspective from another Canadian journalist:
That’s Jughead’s legacy - setting the Middle East on fire...
It's actually an easy choice. The better of these two alternatives is currently winning the war in Syria.
Globalists/Progressives are sad about that, but I am not.
Better the islamists are killing each other over there, than having more of them coming over here.
Saving us the trouble...
I don’t understand. I thought the U.S. considered Assad a “reformer”.

This is the eventual outcome of the crazed Islamic jihad story - blood, death, and destruction. When they do not have the civilized world to attack they attack and kill each other.
Meanwhile the “heros of Aleppo” the Leftist is caterwauling about are firing into Syrian Army conveys trying to move refugees out of the city. I suspect they will find mass graves where the “heros of Aleppo” murdered men, women and children who did not measure up to their notions of Islamic purity.
If this is what the Leftists define as “humanity” we want no part of it.
We had no television then but we did have newsreels swhown ain movie houses, including during saturday matinees which most children attended.
We all saw the horror of the camps that the Allies had just relieved. wE SAW THE BRUTALITY, THE STARVATION, THE GAS CHAMBERS. AND THE MASS GRAVES.
The grown-ups all solemnly swore: NEVER AGAIN.
They made a convention that told us all that where genocide is happening the nations of the world individually and collectively have a duty to do everything possible to stop it and punish the perpetrators.
We all felt assured that IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
The United States has won. It’s the US government that has lost.
First, any chance that Americans as people would support this war died when our proxies started slaughtering Christians. The Turks may not care, the State Department may not care, but ordinary Americans simply will not abide this.
It would not have been that hard, when we were recruiting, arming, training, and financing the jihadists, to make it plain to any and all, Turks, Saudis, jihadists alike, that if you want our support you must protect every hair on the head of any Christians you find in your midst, for we are a Christian country. If you want our support, you must protect Christians among you...
... and if you don’t, we will abandon you and rain fire down on your heads. How hard would that have been? For a normal president, not hard. For Obama, of course, impossible. But the day their Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda In Iraq proxies started committing genocide on our dime any chance that Americans would support them was gone. So Trump is going to wipe out Al Qaeda In Iraq (ISIS) and Al Qaeda in Syria we will abandon to the Syrians and the Russians.
I agree it's a tragedy, but I don't think the USA has lost; obama did. I find it refreshing to have learned that this is not our war at this time. And as long as muslims are trashing other muslims -- well, I'm not exactly going to shed any real tears. Let Russia have those bustards; they have for 40 years anyway.
Second, you must understand that this war was launched by the Turks, the Saudis, and the State Department, who have recruited jihadis from around the world to fight it, have armed them, trained them, financed them. The operation has been run by the Turks with our support. And it could end tomorrow.
Not my circus.
Not my monkeys.
Obama delayed it all on ISIS so as to give Russia time to come in.
The article is more McGrahamnesty anti-Assad drivel.
Aleppo has been liberated from Saudi-funded, Turkey-supported, neocon-covered jihadi terrorist mass murderers.
Their attempt to use Russia/Iran as a bogeyman in order to goad gullible Westerners into supporting Al-Qaeda terrorists is so transparent.
Thirdly, it makes some sense to remove Assad as part of a concerted effort to ramp up pressure against the ayatollahs in Iran. It would remove their only ally and their window to the Mediterranean.
But the whole thing was rendered incoherent when we decided to help Iran get a nuke. Yes, I know, they go on endlessly that the “treaty” is designed to prevent that from happening, but the agreement does the precise opposite of what it is sold as doing. It shields Iran from inspections, it shields Iran from interference by third parties (ie Israel) and it pays for it (ie the $150 billion).
So if you are going to let Iran have its nuke, it makes no sense to go after Assad. They have turned Aleppo into a bloodbath for no logical reason. And while there were possibly good reasons to remove Assad, by Obama’s incompetence and his lack of moral clarity, we have wound up on the wrong side of the “war on terror”. We switched sides.
I keep saying this and believe it: This is a bit like watching the Soviets defeat the Nazis on the Russian front.
i.e. I’m cheering the victors this time, but I am no fan.
Wilson’s fault.
