I wouldn’t take Ban Ki-Moon’s phone call either.
This is a cool story, but aren’t you more interested in whether or not Sarah Palin had cramps, or if Wiener was cuffing it online?
Hey, Obama, where’s the No-Fly zone? Ain’t you gonna bomb the Syrians just like you did the Libyans? Hmmm?
This is a Sunni revolt against Alawite rule, possibly aided by Ikhwan infiltrators in the Syrian military, some of whom are showing their true colors. I have to wonder to what extent Syrian rebels are being aided by the Iraqi Sunni insurgents who fled American firepower in Iraq. This could be a case of blowback for Assad - in not sealing the border and allowing Syrian Sunnis to fight on behalf of their religious brethren in Iraq, he has created a cadre of Sunni rebels who are expert at guerrilla warfare. What didn’t work against overwhelming American firepower has a much better chance of working against the Syrian military. Which is why Syria’s Alawite rulers will have to resort to the same measures that Hafiz Assad once did, if it wants to put down this insurgency - the leveling of rebel strongholds with artillery and tanks.
I am outright bemused by the situation.
Here is Syria, one of the worst, most murderous, Jew hating, tyrannical, nasty regimes in the world and the world is aghast at it doing precisely what it does??
The same regime that, 2 weeks ago, sent 1,000s of “protesters” swarming over the Israeli border to create an incident & people are upset that this country, that most of the world fully supports in it’s aim to kill every Jew in the Mid East, is actually not killing Jews today, but other Arabs who also want to kill Jews, but with themselves in power?
How nuanced of them...
I am sure Obama has denounced Assad’s actions /s
(I'm not advocating US intervention in either, merely highlighting the intellectual inconsistency of the globalists).
Serious question:
Is there ANY nation taking the side of these rebels against Assad?
Wait! UN, Syria, Military shootings. When do we get to the, “It’s all the Evil Joos fault?”/s
