I would say that the figure is a lie intended to justify Imam Obama’s intervention on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Frankly, it’s hard to blame Assad for fighting tooth and nail after (1) what he saw Imam Obama do in Egypt and Libya, and (2) that fruitcake leader of the rebels vowed to slaughter Assad’s wife and children after not allowing them to peacefully leave the country.
One thing we know for certain: Imam Obama is not going to lift a finger in Syria until he gets the sign-off from his Iranian allies.
It’s hard the imagine that our true enemy might be occupying the White House.
