They couldn’t exercise their First Amendment Rights because they didn’t have the Second Amendment to back it up.
No one believes what this sob says except the MSM and politico.
Change 30 years to fifteen, and every place is says Assad substitute Taliban. Now read that statement over again and then think about Obama trying to cut a deal with those that subjugate women, destroy historical sites, and blow up schools.
Polutico also doesn't mention how civil the Muslim brotherhood became in Syria after Hussein's action. They moved to Egypt and killed a couple of Presidents because they felt unwelcome in Syria.
You either oppose the Muslim Brotherhood and the World Caliphate, or you support them. Polutico stands where Obama stands.
For Heaven's sakes, where did he get the name “Hussein” anyway? Saddam was the perfect Islamic Marxist in the Nasser tradition that took a primitive savage faith and redirected it into promoting Russian interests in the disguise of “Jihad.”
“Thirty years after his father massacred tens of thousands of innocent Syrian men, women, and children in Hama, Bashar al-Assad has demonstrated a similar disdain for human life and dignity.”
And what he didn’t say was:
“And for a long time, previous U.S. administations, my administration, friends of mine in and out of government, U.S. political leaders from both sides of the aisle, and myself, all failed to admit that the events of today in Syria are not the consequences of the actions of the Syrian people in their protests. This behavior of the Syrian government was written into the DNA, and the entire methdology of governing by the dictators in Syria. The naive pretense by all of us that engagement could change that DNA is tragic, and because of that we apologize to the people of Syria for the strength and confidence our naivete gave to their dictators for far too long.”
Let them continue to kill each other. They sit silent while Hamas and Hezbollah murder innocent Jews so why should I care if a few Syrians slaughter each other? For once I agree with China and Russia. Stay out of it.
