What is Happening in Syria is Just What Obama and Biden Wanted
PJ Media ^ | March 08, 2025 | Robert Spencer

The news out of Syria is nothing short of horrific, and it provides a fresh illustration of what a catastrophic failure the Obama strategy

...

“hundreds of Christians, including Greek Orthodox, and Alawites have been killed after clashes broke out on Thursday in the Latakia and Tartous regions on Syria’s Mediterranean coast

...

That death toll may be a tragic underestimation

. ...

the death toll could be as high as 1,800, mostly Alawites, but also Christians.”

The perpetrators are members of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamic jihad group that toppled the Assad regime and took control of Syria several months ago. .

the groundwork for what is happening in Syria now was laid years ago, and is the direct result of policies that Barack Obama

....

Obama apparatchiks who had returned to positions in the Biden regime “coordinated with the jihadist franchise in an effort to topple the Syrian regime – while claiming they backed only the ‘moderate opposition.’”

The article noted that “in waging a multi-billion dollar covert war in support of the insurgency against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, top Obama officials who now serve under Biden made it American policy to enable and arm terrorist groups that attracted jihadi fighters from across the globe. This regime change campaign, undertaken one decade after Al Qaeda attacked the U.S. on 9/11, helped a sworn U.S. enemy establish the Idlib safe haven that it still controls today.” In the course of this astoundingly foolish campaign, Old Joe’s future National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who was then Director of Policy Planning, wrote to his boss, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “AQ [Al Qaeda] is on our side in Syria.”

U.S. is now officially on the side of al-Qaeda

Islamic State Co-Creator John McCain was implicated in a conspiracy to help create ISIL ( note the Levant part ) in order to destabilize the secular regime of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria.

McCain is seen in several photos at a meeting attended by the Islamic State’s commander in chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi... Muahmmad Noor. and other moslem terrorists..

I view what’s happening in Syria an opportunity to give the a-rabs a place to spend their billions to house all their brethren pretending to be something they’re not - i.e., ‘palestinian’ - and thereby eliminating any option for ME peace.

If the equation - peace - can’t be solved (only the stupid believe the proclamations of elitist idiots), then something needs to be removed from the equation to permit it to be solved, one way or the other.

Who created the radical Islamist mid east? Certainly it always lurked within Islam’s character - but even in spite of 1400 years of Islam, war, Ottoman Rule, etc..., Christianity was nonetheless able to survive and even thrive in the mid-east for 2000 years.

What happened in the 20th century to launch the downfall, and even genocide of M.E. Christianity?

George Bush and Dick Cheney certainly grabbed on to existing trends, and opened the floodgates to Christian genocide, while Obama and his deep-state controllers kicked it into high gear.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was held at US prison Camp Bucca in 2009 until Islamist Obama let the ISIL jihad terror leader go.

The Ukraine cultists are partially responsible for this. They wanted Russia out of Syria at all costs, and were willing to sacrifice Syrian Christians in order to achieve that goal.

Their psychotic hatred of Russia and Assad has transformed Syria into a radical and dangerous Islamic state.

Ukraine cultists are celebrating the Genocide of Syrian Christians.

Repubs are not off the hook here either. Rubio and McCain were eyeballs deep in it along with a huge swath of the GOP.
And the entire idea started in the end of the Bush administration according to documents on Wikileaks. The embassy emails were discussing how they could easily exploit the large number of religious sects in Syria to create a separatist movement and overthrow Assad.

The CIA won here, they overthrew Assad and their ISIS throat cutters installed an ISIS government. And they rushed it to a finish in December before Trump was sworn in.

This is a deeply shameful chapter in our history.

Not the Jews, but the Israeli government had a hand, as did our DOD and CIA.

There is no escaping the reality that us and Israel both spent years pounding the Syrian Army that was facing the terrorists. Eventually we damaged them enough that they collapsed and ISIS took over.

We and the Israelis bombed Syrian Army, chest bumped the Russians in the air and on the ground as they were solely focused on ISIS. The biggest brag here in the US on social media is that time we had AC-130s kill several hundred Russians for moving on a rebel position.
They never made that same brag about doing anything like that to ISIS.

Israel may think a new Sunni wahabbist headcutter nation next door and the destruction of Christians and significant Christian historical sites and treasures is worth it for some reason I cannot fathom. But it is clear that along with our CIA they did assist in the effort.

Nailed it.

I disagree. This is normal in the Middle East. The US is neither omniscient nor omnipotent. Things abroad rarely happen because a US President wants them to, let alone because he tries to make them happen. They usually happen because some foreigners want them to, but more likely because that's how things normally happen there. This is especially true in the Middle East.

Get a life.

I wouldn’t give too much credit to CIA. The Russians were distracted in Ukraine so they couldn’t help Assad in Syria. The Iranians used their proxy - Hezbollah to attack Israel, forcing them to retaliate by taking out Hezbollah’s leadership.

Baloney.... they CREATED, funded and trained this movement. We started them off early with TOW missiles. The CIA lead US DOD force attacked anything threatening our headchoppers.

At least the Israelis can rightfully say they were hurting Hezbollah and Iran (who wound up there in big numbers to counter our Sunni Jihadis) the who were an actual serious threat to Israel.
Our CIA had no excuse.

Bottom line, Timber Sycamore killed 600,000 people, created a new terror state, and launched the flood of millions of refugees into the EU.

All to assist their main goal, their psychotic CIA effort against Russia for the two past decades.
Yes, CIA is the lead on the entire Syria project.
