Syria's Assad and regime DESERVE everything they're about to get from the U.S. And the West

[The Straight Story]

63. Yes, I have. Which is why we should pay attention here. Who does Syria hate?

Like many in the ME they are not too fond of Israel.

And if they are willing to use such weapons on their own rebels what is to prevent them from doing what some other countries in that region want to do and expanding to what they see as a common enemy?

Why are you telling your story to the Israeli media? Do you wish to convey a message to the government in Jerusalem?

“We do it so that you bomb Assad’s palace,” Amar quips. “But seriously now: I’m not a captive of the myth that Jews run the world and America, but Israel does have power and influence. We are engaged in a public relations campaign worldwide to put Bashar Assad on trial for crimes against humanity and for war crimes. If Israel supports the move, it would be greatly helpful.

“The Syrian opposition and Israel share a joint interest. We have no ideological hatred for Israel or for Jews. I know that’s what you think, but it’s not the case. It’s true that for years they taught us to hate Israel and fight is, but many Syrians already realized that they are being taught to hate Israel to divert attention away from the oppression in the country. We realized that Assad senior and junior educated people to hate Israel in order to stay in power; to blind us with hate for Israel so that we don’t channel our energies to the fact that we live with no freedom or future.

“This is over. People got it. Assad still has his supporters, the Alawites who depend on him, because if he falls they will fall too. Yet among other groups, and there are very diverse ethnic groups in Syria, he lost support. In the army too there are thousands of defectors by now, and they left with their weapons. They are hiding away, getting organized, and at the right moment they will act.”

2. The Syrian regime (not the people) supports Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. All of these organizations are on the terrorist organizations list. All of them want to kill Americans. Syria was a part of the Axis of Evil, along with Iran and North Korea. They support nuclear arms in Iran and North Korea. This is bad news for everyone.

3. Syria allowed Hezbollah and other terrorists to cross into Iraq to kill American troops. This in itself is enough! They also provided training to these terrorist on how to attack American troops in Iraq.

4. Syria supports Iran. The highly anti-American regime in Iran has one single friend in the Middle East. That friend is Syria. If the Syrian regime is ousted, and a new regime takes over, Iran will lose it's legitimacy and power. Iran stands against our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran stands against democracy and freedom. Iran has a nuclear weapons program. We do not want Iran to have more clout and more power in teh Middle East. A new regime in Syria is unlikely to be as friendly with Iran.

5. Syria is a sworn enemy of the United States and Israel. When our close ally and friend Mubarak was coming under pressure to resign, we quickly asked him to go. But when a sworn enemy, in Assad, comes under pressure we allow him to do as he pleases? This makes no sense and is a contradictory policy. Assad needs to go. The sooner, the better. The United States needs to have clear objectives and clear goals. We support freedom and democracy. We abhor despotism and oppression.

6. The terrorist organization Hamas has a headquarters in Damascus with the blessing of Assad. This is insane. Why harbor terrorists?

7. Syria already had a nuclear weapons program that was destroyed by Israel in a bombing raid in 2008. They have already acquired nuclear technology once, there is no doubt that they have re-acquired this technology. And are willing to use it.

8. Syria is using its army to demolish entire villages and cities. Incessant shelling, tanks, helicopter gunships, fighter jets are all being used to attack crowds of civilians chanting "Freedom, freedom, peace, peace." This is insane. Over 10,000 people have been killed (that are accounted for) and the true numbers are likely triple that figure.

SO you have a guy in power who hates Israel, will use chemical weapons on his own people to stay in power, and is right next door to Israel.

You think he will stop? That he will just give up power? Word is Israeli's are already stocking up on gas masks.

Now maybe you think he will play all nice and not try to finish what Hitler started, but I don't trust him - especially now.
