New in PJ Media:
The news out of Syria is nothing short of horrific, and it provides a fresh illustration of what a catastrophic failure the Obama strategy in the Middle East has been.
Greek City Times reported that “hundreds of Christians, including Greek Orthodox, and Alawites have been killed after clashes broke out on Thursday in the Latakia and Tartous regions on Syria’s Mediterranean coast, according to a human rights monitoring group.”
That death toll may be a tragic underestimation. Greek City Times added that “the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) said on Friday that more than 225 people have been killed since Thursday. However, this is believed to be a gross underreporting, with activists on the ground, such as Coast Youth Forum, believing the death toll could be as high as 1,800, mostly Alawites, but also Christians.”
The perpetrators are members of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamic jihad group that toppled the Assad regime and took control of Syria several months ago. But the groundwork for what is happening in Syria now was laid years ago, and is the direct result of policies that Barack Obama and Old Joe Biden (you know, the guy known as “Obama’s Third Term”) pursued. According to a revealing Apr. 2022 piece in RealClearInvestigations, Obama apparatchiks who had returned to positions in the Biden regime “coordinated with the jihadist franchise in an effort to topple the Syrian regime – while claiming they backed only the ‘moderate opposition.’”
The article noted that “in waging a multi-billion dollar covert war in support of the insurgency against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, top Obama officials who now serve under Biden made it American policy to enable and arm terrorist groups that attracted jihadi fighters from across the globe. This regime change campaign, undertaken one decade after Al Qaeda attacked the U.S. on 9/11, helped a sworn U.S. enemy establish the Idlib safe haven that it still controls today.” In the course of this astoundingly foolish campaign, Old Joe’s future National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who was then Director of Policy Planning, wrote to his boss, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “AQ [Al Qaeda] is on our side in Syria.”
I was among the few who were calling attention to this wrongheaded policy at the time. On Sept. 17, 2013, I wrote at JihadWatch.org: “The U.S. is now officially on the side of al-Qaeda.” This was because of Barack Obama’s plan to arm and train “vetted” members of the Free Syrian Army. In Sept. 2014, said the New York Times, “Mr. Obama said he envisioned the Free Syrian Army’s providing the ground presence needed to confront ISIS in Syria.” Obama also said: “We have a Free Syrian Army and a moderate opposition that we have steadily been working with that we have vetted.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Turkey, Syria, Iran, and the 50+ Islamic Countries are Terrorist States of discrimination, terrorism, and violence against Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29,111 and more).
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam, a Terrorist Enterprise, and its deceitful Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous Muslim war, a RELIGIOUS DUTY, against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam due to illegal UNBELIEF and unlawful BLASPHEMY against Allah when despicable Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS COURTS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS(MTO) for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111 and more).
The FRUIT of Islam, a Murderous-Gang Enterprise, is incessant WAR, ideological subversion, propaganda, terrorism, discrimination, slavery, malice, ISLAMIZATION, persecution, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, its Courts, and its Schools(See Islamic Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, 9.0- and more). Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims(Quran 3:28,54; 5:51 and more). Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 5:51; 9:29; 98:6-7 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 3:22,151; 69:30-32; 98:6-7.

And that was why arms were being shipped from Benghazi and resulted in the deaths of several Americans.
This all should have been prosecuted as a crime….giving aid to the enemy (al queda)…and some death sentences handed down.

Given the support the Alawites gave to, and got from Iran and Hizbullah, I’m not sure what to think about them now being at the receiving end of sunni atrocities. Christians, I do support. Alawites, dunno
Patrick says
Can anyone be more evil than Obama? $upporting al-Qaeda, funding worldwide terrorist organizations, is not American, it’s anti-American. This act alone is reason for prosecuting Obama for treason.
Wellington says
Obama’s legacy lives on in many ways. I thought him the worst President in American history when he left office (yes, even worse than James Buchanan) but then Biden came along and he became the worst unless one proceeds on the very justifiable assumption that Biden’s Presidency was just Obama’s third term, though de facto and not de jure.
somehistory says
biden’s *decisions* are being examined. The AG of MO says that biden was not the one who was actually signing orders and another report says his auto-pen has been discovered to have been what was used on many documents.
Rep. Johnson, House leader, says he was prevented from meeting with biden, and one time that he did, biden claimed he had not done something he was said to have done, and Johnson said he seemed to be telling the Truth.
The AG wants an investigation aimed at undoing a lot of what *biden* supposedly signed, because he says if biden didn’t sign or understand what he signed, then all those things are unlawful. Such as the many pardons for crimes that might have been charged.
If this is all correct, then bo….as some of us believe….was actually the one giving the orders and scheming for things such as is happening in Syria. A corrupt and evil creature.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
The American people need to know just who was using the “auto-pen”.
somehistory says
James, I agree with you.
