The Assad Regime in Syria is one of the most beloved by our elites. Papa Bush green light for Papa Assad’s crushing of christian resistance in Lebanon. Clinton pressured Israel not to retaliate against Syria for its support of Hizballah and pressuring them to abandon South Lebanon to appease Syria. Baby Bush turned a blind eye for Syria’s support of AL-Qaeda in Iraq. None of this has made Syria our friends. Now that the Assad regime is in trouble, they got their goons to attack the US and French embassies.
BEIRUT – Syrian government supporters smashed windows at the U.S. Embassy in Damascus on Monday, raised a Syrian flag and scrawled graffiti calling the American ambassador a “dog” in anger over the envoy’s visit last week to an opposition stronghold, witnesses said.
French Embassy security guards fired in the air to hold back supporters of President Bashar Assad’s regime who were also protesting the French ambassador’s visit to the same city, Hama, in central Syria. One witness said three protesters were injured when guards beat them with clubs. The witness asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation.
There was no immediate word on casualties at the American Embassy demonstration.
Syria is an enemy of the United States. No matter how much our elites appease them, they hate us. It’s time to treat Syria as an enemy.
