Nothing to fear. Obama and his Brotherhood are standing by.
“These sort of regimes are much tougher than western liberals can ever imagine.”
You mean, like Qadaffi and Mubarak’s?
We were told, “Just wait ‘til Ghadaffi turns his military loose”, “Just wait ‘til Mubarak unleashes his military”. These things never happened. I believe the MB gets control of a majority of these countries’ forces before they launch their rebellions. There are always a few loyalists that resist for awhile, but in the end the rebels sheer numbers turn the tide.
I’m always delighted to see dictators get what’s coming to them. The Ceaucescu execution was one of the best Christmas presents ever. I’m not under any illusion that the next Syrian thug will be any improvement, but a nice firing squad or gallows or mob dismemberment for Assad and his glamorous wife would be just the example many of the rest of the world’s politicians sorely need, “pour encourager les autres.” And I would not exclude certain of our own worthless politicos among those who could benefit from such instruction in the rights of the people.
RE where lck of guts and toughness is considered a positive idication of leadership
It makes ladies swoon
Reports in the Arab-language press indicate the head of Iran’s covert foreign operations Quds force was killed in Wednesday’s bombing in Damascus.
Al-Quds Force’s long-elusive commander, Maj. Gen. Qassem Suleimani, is reported to have made several trips to Damascua to meet with Assad and his top commanders since January of this year. Iran has made no bones about having bolstered Assad’s embattled regime with members of its own elite Revolutionary Guard, but the death of Suleimani would be a direct blow to Tehran.
