According to Arab media reports that have been verified officials assassinated by his bodyguard of Syrian President life Heavy security around the hospital a my mother in Damascus and in-hospital
Or ..Let’s see, he could be perfectly normal and still be between life and death? At any rate I bet he feels more like he does now than he did awhile ago.....
Important safety device? Perhaps they mean a ventilator, just in case he’s not quite dead yet.
The guy middle second row, next to woman ... more strangeness?
It is the will of Soebarkah.
"I know it was you, Assad. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!"
That’s true ROFL
So he got Fredo treatment after all LOL! if this story true
Oh dear, they made a dreadful mistake. They fed him mouse, not mousse. We MUST have a talk with that chef!
So which branch will run the new Caliphate....Sunni or Shiite....
I guess they will fight over it to the death.
Sunni or later Shiite happens.
Below video of Israel's rockets hitting Syria....from RT.
Shades of Indira Ghandi betrayed by Sikh bodyguards
Very good point. We are also seeing a new story about Allawites in the Syrian military trying to rebel against Assad. Of course the stories never stated just how many were rebelling. Half a dozen ? We saw the same type of pile on drive by stories the last time Obama tried to assassinate Assad.
The rebel leader that resigned, said the rebels crossed a red line. Obviously that red line was their use of Chlorine Gas in the recent attack. So those supporting the Terrorist Rebels, had to play their last card. Another attempt on Assad’s life.
I wondered about him, too.
The caption on the Wikipedia page says the photo was taken at "a reception of delegates from different parts of the USSR, September 1938". Yezhov was arrested the following November.
Of course he’d still have to be north of room temp to order an attack on anyone.A more likely scenario iare his minions running for the exits and taking whatever they can as barter for their lives. This is how WMDs are likely to get into the hands of very bad people I thought the commies in Russia might do this with nukes but I guess Gorby and Yeltsin had the KGB keep a lid on. But getting out some canisters or arty shells of Sarin A&B is easy. These may not rain on Israel but may wind up in Times Square.
And yes Assad has probably left orders to launch if he was killed, but that play requires his survivors to still be willing to push the buttons after he is dead. Not guaranteed.
There is no chance of a caliphate, because — just as in the Middle Ages — there is no Islamic solidarity.
The Saudis had been concerned about getting surrounded — Yemen was simmered down after 40 or 50 years of partition, civil war, etc, then blew up again during the “Arab Spring” — and got screwed in Iraq, and for that matter in Egypt, and are working harder and in concert with the GCC, seeding as many friendly/allied/puppet regimes as they can.
The main problem for the Saudis is, internal division, intrafamily rivalries, and of course devotion to various nut-job deviations of Islam — which is itself the fountainhead of nuttery.
The our State run media will confirm when Obama tells them to confirm.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy. Lets hope the new tyrant is better.
Thought I read a recent article that some Turk was calling for another Ottoman Empire ? Was that considered a Caliphate at the time ?
Et tu, Brute?
