#1 Yep. If he, and the rest of Alawites just knelt and bend their neck---to make it easier to chop through, things would've been better.

#7 Just get the right Bush. If Iraq had been made into a parking lot in the First Gulf War, how much of this have evolved?

#8 What a bullshit article.

So this is Assad's fault? The Assad who Obama and McCain wanted to pinprick air strike so bad? Team Not-Assad with whom was promised US material, training, and arms?

And the *cough* unexpected behavior of ISIL (despite our intrepid reporter's twits about ISIL rampaging a mostly Christian city) further enforces my humble suspicion that ISIL gassed those people.
