| Assad's Massacres Designed to Set Up Alawite Homeland |
| 2012-07-14 |
| Lee Smith of the Weekly Standard (source link) joins several others who see a pattern in the Syrian Dictator Assad's serial Massacres. The theory is that they are designed to move Sunnis out of Alawite territory or intimidate Sunnis remaining in Alawite territory. Another author who sees this same pattern is Harold Rhode of the Gatestone (formerly Hudson) Institute. An author who sees Assad as trying and failing to achieve this is Jonathon Kay of Foundation for Defense of Democracies |

| #2 Looks like Pallywood has moved to Syria. The problem with these accounts is Sunni Arabs, who have a systematic record of making up atrocities. |

| #1 Is this like ethnic cleansing or genocide? Seems like the Donks would jump on this since they say they are interested in human rights (as opposed to individual rights). Oh, I forgot, they don't really give a flip--they are trying to get the ONE, The Narcissist-In-Chief re-elected. They are too busy dredging up issues about Bain Capital and other horsepucky. They ARE desperate since they can't run on the ONE's record. |
