Another hit piece on Assad? Just in time for the Turks and US to back ISIS-Not-ISIS "Moderate" jihadis topple Assad, crush the Kurds and create a Caliphate where once there was a secular and relatively progressive society.

Does any of Obama's policy choices toward Assad, toward granting Iran's theocracy nuclear status and money via trade, of his not backing Ukraine with arms sales, of letting Turkey and Pakistan work side deals with ISIS and the Taliban while pretending they are US allies...does ANY of this make ANY sense whatsoever?

W.T.F.

You do realize that Assad is not exactly the Kurds biggest ally himself right. Also Isn't the Syrian goverment backed by Russia

I'm not defending my goverment or the Turkish government I'm just saying that Assad isn't squeaky clean ether

"Assad is not exactly the Kurds biggest ally himself right."

In Syria, he is their best ally.

But if you are saying the the Alawites are enthusiastic about giving part of their country away to form a Kurdish autonomous region, that is obviously true but the Kurds DO have an accord with Assad.

Yes, Syria is a long ally of the USSR and now Russia. Assad is as squeaky clean as any Arab regime in the region can be! Are the Arab Iraqi Shiite leaders cleaner? Hell no yet we back them as does Iran.

Think about this. Assad is not a theocrat and does not want Sharia. That historical position of the Assad Regime is the only position that has any hope for re-establishing a secular system based on the rule of law.

The rebels? All of them to a man are Jihadis and religious maniacs.

The guy is Bashar's "first cousin once removed". In 45 of 50 states first cousins once removed CAN get married, obviously western society has a very loose view of relations of this type, clearly this is just to drag Bashar's name through the mud. I sincerely hope that social war this goes no further.
