NUSRA FRONT CALLS FOR ESCALATION OF ATTACKS AGAINST ASSAD’S ALAWITES, RUSSIA
Breitbart ^ | October 13, 2015 | EDWIN MORA

The leader of the al-Nusra Front, Syria’s al-Qaeda offshoot, reportedly called on jihadists to intensify attacks on Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s minority Alawite sect of Shiite Islam in retaliation for Russia’s military intervention.

In an audio message posted on social media, al-Nusra chief Abu Mohammad al-Golani urged attacks on Alawite strongholds in response to what he described as the indiscriminate killing of Sunnis by the Russian military, Reuters reports.

The terrorist leader declared that Russia’s invasion of Syria was aimed at preventing Assad from losing power, but was doomed to fail.

“There is no choice but to escalate the battle and to target Alawite towns and villages in Latakia and I call on all factions to … daily hit their villages with hundreds of missiles as they do to Sunni cities and villages,” reportedly said Golani said.

“Does the Russian government think that the regime’s army and Bashar al Assad can be saved with a few more planes and artillery?” mockingly asked Golani, adding, “The Russian strikes to this day have not added more than those of the regime in their indiscriminate targeting…and they will be defeated at the doorsteps of Damascus.”

He referred to the Russian intervention as a “new Christian crusade from the east” that was destined to fail and came after a “string of victories made by the Mujahideen” threatened the Assad regime.

Like the Sunni Muslim terrorists haven’t been targeting Alawite (and Christian) towns and villages for years. These despicable “people” are the monsters with which the Obama regime and the Muslim Brotherhood have aligned themselves.

I don’t know why the press is too stupid not to notice the winner will kill all the losers.

And because it promotes the resettlement of Syrians in Europe.

The agenda of destabilization of islamic regimes for the purpose of implanting leaders aligned with the MB is a blot on this nation's history. We should be flying coordinated sorties with the Russians taking down ISIS targets if we had a real president...

Congress authorized the arming of the Syrian rebels.

Senate panel delivers bipartisan rebuke to Obama with vote to arm Syrian rebels

Back then, Obama was opposed to arming the Syrian rebels and Congress forced him to begin. Back then, most freepers celebrated the fact that Congress had rebuked Obama and forced him to arm the rebels. Now, most freepers complain because Obama is arming the rebels.

After the CIA worked up the plan for arming the rebels, Obama would submit the CIA plan to Congress for approval.

Its not known exactly when, but in 2013 CIA began vetting, training and arming groups of Syrian rebels. Eventually, enough rebels were armed and the tide turned against Assad, which is why Assad asked Putin to intervene.
