No more booze. And now we can't go to the beach.
I understand what you’re saying but see how he used jihadists too:
“Before the civil war began, in 2011, a majority of Sednaya’s inmates were Islamists, who had been encouraged by the Syrian government to join an offshoot of Al Qaeda that was fighting the United States in Iraq. Once they returned home, Mr. al-Assad jailed them to prevent them from threatening his rule.
As antigovernment protests spread across Syria in early 2011, the government released many of those jihadists and began imprisoning thousands of protesters, activists, journalists, doctors, aid workers, students and other Syrians. Many were sent to Sednaya.”

I remember when Saddam was "worse than Hitler."
It became a joke, how Neocons were always seeking a new "Hitler of the Month" for their next color revolution.
He was a Baath monster, just like Saddam.
But we do not yet know who will rule Syria, or the various parts of it, and whether they’ll be better or worse.
For now I’ll settle for the neutering of Assad.
Gee, we’re just now hearing about this.
What a coinky dink.
The al Qaeda rebel info bureau and media in full operation.
He was a monster to monsters. Now the other monsters are gonna commit atrocities and the media will justify it because this POS was bad. Look for another 2 million jihadists to invade Europe. How many can Biden fly here in a month?
Yet Israel and democracy are the bad guys.
A big powerful government which has no respect for individual rights. You have no personal power — if you did what you wanted, you would probably screw it up. So the government will make all your decisions for you, and if you cause trouble, there will be ... consequences.
This is basically a form of what the Democrats voted for here in the US. But they lost. Instead, Donald Trump (”literally Hitler”) won and now individuals in the US are stuck being free and making their own decisions about how they want to live their lives.
“What happened inside Assad’s prisons where thousands suffered 72 types of torture and 157,000 people have vanished: As new horrors are revealed by the hour, Patrikarakos beholds atrocity on staggering scale.”
So 157,000 imprisoned terrorists are let loose and replaced by millions of CHRISTIANS who are now effectively imprisoned and face a worse fate.
Only Neocons and Zeepers could celebrate this ‘success’.
Hafez al Assad was a cruel sadist, as was his oldest son who died before asdumjng control, and some of his relatives placed in power.
But Bashar…color me skeptical he is a genocidal sadist.
Not a popular opinion, I know.
This is all evolving to make ISIS and al Qaeda look like their terror to come in wholesale cleansing will have been provoked or justified …and make it hard for Gabbard and Trump to deal honestly with Syria
Just wait until ISIL is in charge. Things are not good for Syrians even with the brutal Assad regime gone.
There is no way to know if any of these stories are true.
One evil actor has now been replace with one equally as bad. Kind of like Stalin replacing Hitler.
I’m sure it was pure hell.
But don’t trust the media.
Propaganda.
It's not often we get a despot with a great sense of humor.
I sure wish there was a Youtube video of these antics and hijinks!
Cock-a-doodle-doo.

Great post.
“Yet Israel and democracy are the bad guys.”
Just ask “Nitzy”:
“Israel will just have to ... kill more Christians” - FR’s own “nitzy”

RE: “worse than Hitler.”
If Satan allowed it to him, think how much trade mark licensing royalties Hitler would be making from use of his name and likeness.
A lot of Kamala’s wasted campaign billions would have gone to him.
And MSNBC would be even more broke.
