Probably not many. That’s more a Sunni thing. The Alawites aren’t even high on the nutjob scale of the Shias.
He’s probably relaxed because if the US does launch an invasion (a few cruise missiles will have no effect), he has a nice vacation getaway in Iran waiting for him as we pour troops into a meat grinder.
I can’t say I disagree with him. Especially in light of the total mismanagement and military ignorance of the Queer-in-Chief.
Isn’t that what Saddam said?
I heard that in 1990 during Desert Storm. Someone remind me how that turned out.
We seem to be in a ‘Vietnam’ scenario in Afghanistan as it is. Obama wouldn’t hesitate to put our troops in another one. What better way to destroy our military ... one of his objectives.
He is probably right.
As all of our panty-waist liberals amass on the Washington Mall, and our new rules of engagement for our military tie the soldier’s hands behind their backs, it could wind up in another stalemate.
Until US public opinion and the feckless Democrats in Congress declare a withdrawal date, regardless of what is going on the battlefield.
We’d best keep or boys and equipment in the neighborhood though, because by that time the Iranian nukes will drag the world into another horrific confrontation!
this war is about two things:
1. the qatar to turkey natural gas pipeline that needs completed via syria
2. the international bankers/rothchilds don’t have control of finances in syria, just like libya, so they will take them out to do so http://www.activistpost.com/2012/09/state-owned-central-banks-are-real.html
have we been told yet what our objective would be if we were to invade or bomb Syria? just wondering...
The jungles of Syria.
More specifically, is that the incidences of Muslim forces attacking "friendly targets", or shooting Muslim civilians, in order to blame the Serbs, were not uncommon.
This includes the infamous breadline marketplace massacres in Sarajevo, in 1992, 1994, and 1995. In all three cases UN internal investigations revealed that Bosnian Muslims were responsible.
Assad is totally ignorant as to the cause of modern U.S. military “failures.” The U.S. military has never lost a war. We lost Vietnam politically, and the anti-war sentiment was driven largely by an anti-war media.
In June 1944, when the media was still pro-American, headlines were “Beachhead established in Europe!” The country’s mood would have been significantly different if those headlines had read, “6,500 GIs slaughtered on Normandy beaches!”
What Assad fails to realize is that every Obama toady in today’s MSM would instantly become Baghdad Bobs, and no matter what the reality on the ground, Obama’s war would be going just as well as his awesome economic recovery.
