Is this what the “smartest woman in America” meant when she called Assad a “reformer”? The only good thing about the Failure becoming President is that Hillary didn’t.
I heard a news report that Assads troups appeared to be applying scorched earth tactics around the city—blowing up homes in surrounding villages and destroying orchards and crops. For some reason Turkey is making it hard to interview the refugees—perhaps their presidential election this weekend.
Meanwhile the fight goes on in Libya. Berbers in mountain towns to the south of Tripoli have apparently thrown govt. troups out, control at least one border crossing into Tunisia, and now are attacking outside Zawiya. This city tried to rebel months ago, but was retaken after a week of fighting. It is a major oil hub on the west side of Tripoli between it and the Tunisian border. Two groups of reporters being transported several hours apart between Tripoli and Tunisia report they were forced to detour off the main highway because of apparent fighting. Here is a more detailed link.

I love the smell of burning goat in the morning...
They got the idea from watching NATO in Libya.
The more I see, the more it becomes apparent that, speaking generally, mankind is an utter failure,
And that failure comes from man’s desire to control other men.
The ultimate expression of man’s control over other men is Nazism. That is the epitome of the Evil of Man,
And it walks this Earth again as it did 80 years ago.
I wonder who will defeat it this time, I really do, because it not only comes from the muslims, it comes from America.
Former Secretary of State James Baker, considered to represent rich Saudis, talked during this period of “flipping Syria”—inducing Assad into splitting from Iran and moving into the U.S. camp. One model was Egypt's severance from the Soviets—who Saddat suspect would eventually kill him—and allying itself with the U.S.
Around the time Assad began leaving Syria Qaddafi was cutting his own deal with the U.S. which include ending his WMD programs, renouncing terrorism, and allowing American oil companies access to Libyan oil fields. Like Assad, Qaddafi said he feared ending up in a U.S. military prison like Saddam Hussein.
The U.S. could have fully exploited its new and fearsome power in the region had not Congressional Democrats, the news media and the full spectrum of the American Left erupted into a twisted and relentless propaganda war on Bush, his policy makers and coalition operations in Iraq.
Arabs killing Arabs, keep it up boys, you’re doing fine.
While, we are watching all the stories about the Arab Spring Imam Hussein is quietly bringing in thousands of trained Arab foreign fighters into the USA. We must expose Hussein’s treasonous Executive Order, which puts thousands of terrorist triggermen inside the USA. Without FBI background checks, or proper investigations the jails are being emptied across the Arab world. The supposed gun show ‘loophole’ won’t close until these people are fully armed.
Welp...time to launch the Tomahawks at Syria. ObaMao says we go after countries, without Congressional approval, when a country is being “mean to its people”.
We should be launching against North Korea and China any second now...holding my breath....
