Syrian rebels declared President Bashar al-Assad’s ouster after seizing control of Damascus on Sunday, forcing him to flee and ending his family’s decades of rule after more than 13 years of civil war in a seismic moment for the Middle East.

The Islamist rebels also dealt a major blow to the influence of Russia and Iran in Syria in the heart of the region, allies who propped up Assad during critical periods in the conflict.

The rebels said they had entered the capital with no sign of army deployments. Thousands of people in cars and on foot congregated at a main square waving and chanting “Freedom” from a half century of Assad family rule, witnesses said. More

  1. No, just one.

    “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”

  2. Wonderful, another successful CIA/Mossad color revolution. That’s just what the world needs right now, for democratic freedom from the barrel of a gun.
    Man do I hate these war-whores

  3. Congratulations Uncle Sam,
    one more ancient Christian nation smashed and thrown to the dogs.

    All seeking the truth will have to go to non-US news sources to see the ensuing burning of historic churches and murder of Christians.

    “The new Crusades are going to require a lot more knights.”

    “11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

    12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

    13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

    14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

    15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

    16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”
    Revelation 19:11-16

  5. The BBC is saying Turkey is the big winner and that Erdogan is keen on recreating the Otteman Empires. Considering the source, I’d apply a large dose of salt to that assertion, that said, it matches the reality on the ground.

  6. All these “sudden” events should be loudly noted as the finish of the FJB Shitpants Era.

    The MSM should not get to revise the “narrative” later to blame ANY of this on the man who must clean this up: POTUS TRUMP.

  7. Looks like Bashar put his head between his legs and finally kissed his Damasscus goodbye!
    Maybe the new guys will start up a furniture store specializing in upholstered footstools and name it “Ottoman Empire”

  8. @Wild Bill,

    Most “radars” don’t track airplanes directly, but rather track transponder signals. Switch that OFF, and it “disappears.” He and his minions are probably safely on the ground not where the flight plan indicated.
