Just The News: Syrians danced jubilantly in the streets and fired celebratory shots into the air Sunday after dictator Bashar Assad fled the country and acceded to a peaceful transition of power after Islamist insurgents took control of the capital of Damascus and ended his family’s half-century reign.
The stunning fall of the Assad regime, which used chemical weapons on its own people and was backed by Iran, left large question about what happens next in Syria and the larger Middle East already gripped with war.
Russia, a close ally, said Assad left the country to an undisclosed location after negotiations with rebel groups and had given instructions to transfer power peacefully in a sudden end to 14 years of war. READ MORE
Another short term victory, long term disaster brought to you by the CIA, and Obama.
The Syrians may be celebrating now but it will be short lived. Because as bad and evil as Assad was what’s replacing him will without doubt be worse.
When Assad’s military turned chicken and ran, Assad escaped to prevent being treated like Mussolini being paraded through the streets hanging from a rope.
How did the assholes in the CIA not see this????????//
Who exactly put his father in power?? That should be the question.
Give this a couple of months, at best.
They would wish Assad was back.
Not a fan of any dictator, but in the middle east, once a long time dictator/dictator(s) are ousted, a civil war will start, and then islamists will take over. See Iraq.
Those who supported the Assads and benefited from the stability and security enabled by their brutal regime, the numerous minorities that inhabit the region, will now suffer a genocidal bloodletting reminiscent of Rwanda. Good job, Joe. Something to crow about. This will definitely put you ahead of Obama in the innocent dead count.
“When the battle was over, the slaughter began …”
And now watch what happens to the Christians and other non-islamic groups.
Some places need to ruled with an Iron Fist…
Hooray! We can send all of our guns to Ukraine now.
Syrians rejoice in streets with celebratory gunfire…
Who were they celebratorily shooting? Each other? Oh, OK.
What’s for breakfast?
I am old enough to remember the celebrations when the Shah of Iran was deposed by the Ayatollah, THAT did not age well.
Once again, the US taxpayer is financing, arming, and training Islamic thugs who will soon set their sites on western targets. They will also start slaughtering Christians in Syria. And you can bet that the this debacle was kicked off by the “intelligence community” the second Trump won the election. They’ve created yet another giant mess to “justify” their own existence.
Also notice that the second it becomes apparent that heads will roll at the FBI, a CEO gets assassinated to, once again, justify the existence of the FBI, who at this very moment are dredging up some poor semi-retard to serve as patsy for what is almost certainly a deep state run operation to a kill a witness to DC corruption in the “healthcare” industry.
A telephone pole resembles the Asssadfamily tree.
