Jihadis face execution without trial in Syrian jails as Assad says foreign ISIS members will be hang

Your claim is abject nonsense and silliness on Steroids .. perhaps you are quite young ... OK - but if not .. what is your excuse ? Google is your friend - May I suggest "Iran-Iraq war and Reagan" as a search.

Here is part of a massive wiki page on the subject.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Iraq_during_the_Iran–Iraq_War

 

I don't know how you can say that after watching the following video on the election. The Syrians I knew were all praising Assad and what he did for Syria - which might be why Washington and its cohorts began demonizing him for their own self serving interests.

There are loads of videos with Syrians cheering in the streets to show the world how much they love and want Assad. The singers even sang songs of their love for Assad - not that it did any good, the medias simply hid the videos, and continued the charade of Assad being a vicious dictator.

 

I was talking prior to the war.. I agree that after the war been going for years ..

During the protest movement - in the beginning - there were calls for change in Syria. (as stated in the CP article linked to)

This mirrored the comments of an acquaintance of mine how had been over there prior to the start of armed conflict - but at a time when the protest movement was happening.

When I asked him what was going on he stated that the people are not big fans of the Assad regime but, they are terrified of the radical Islamist's.

Years later when the Syrian Army was liberating the cities - the people were overjoyed ! Not that anyone in the US would know this - such facts would go against the Establishment narrative of the day and so .. our fake news MSM propaganda machine- committed the Sin of Omission - on an almost daily basis.

 

There is a great book about Reagan you owe yourself the time to read and study it closely.

Wikipedia is not 100 percent authentic. I do not want to discourage you from using Wikipedia service, but if able to, find excellent books and check them out yourself.

 

I am quite young. At 81 I recall when Johnnie Mack Brown was a famous movie star. I think I may be the sole poster that actually heard the then living FDR do fireside chats. And WW2 had not started when I was born.

 

Silent generation?

 

Assad may be the only leader on earth who would drive himself, in a Honda, through a conflict zone.

He does appear knowledgeable about infrastructure problems.

 

Give it up Robert - while I agree that anyone can write anything on Wiki - What I posted was historical fact - that was well referenced.

Name one thing in what I posted from Wiki that was not true ... rather than engage in ad hom fallacy.

You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about - Your claim that the US under Reagan was not allied with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war is a complete falsehood on steroids.

 

The Wikipedia article no more proved that Reagan supported Saddam than when FDR sent stuff to the Communists proved FDR was a Communist.

I simply showed you the finest book ever written on Reagan and composed of testimony by so many people it gives you the total picture.

 

Also, I personally have authored stuff on Wikipedia. Does that mean I am 100 percent accurate? Matter of fact, a lot of things said on Wikipedia are flagged by Wikipedia.

 

I approve!

Flash them down the toilet.

 

No, 70 virgins is just a bunch of trannies after sex reassignment surgery.

 

How does it feel to be on the receiving end of anti-Israel obsessions?

Biden doesn't seem well informed either. The Saudis and the Emiratis were not interested in toppling Assad. A proxy war between Sunnis and Shiites was their worst nightmare. The Saudis gave millions to Assad in 2011 to prevent exactly that kind of scenario.

Crazy conspiracy theories...the alleged Saudi plot to destabilize the region...the alleged theft of topsoil from Lebanon...crrraaazyyyy...how does it feel to be on the receiving end?

Well, isn't it nice that we have something in common?

 

Yeah, the Suderi Seven had a Syrian mother... ksa has supported SyrIa.

Israel did steal topsoil in Lebanon in the early 1950s. Read Moshe Dayan.

 

Just like children are dying today in supposedly civilized countries, but in far greater numbers and from the pollution caused by having far too many people on the planet.

 

I have as well .. and agree. It matters not to the conversation as you have not come up with one thing in the article that is not true.

Reagan not only supported Saddam - he did so while Saddam was using chemical weapons against Iran and the Kurd's.
Peter Galbraith - US Ambassador and member of Senate Foreign Relations committee - went to Iraq and saw the gassed out towns.

When he came back to the US he drafted the "Prevention of Genocide Act" - a bill which would have sanctioned Iraq. The Bill passed the Senate with bipartisan support but when Reagan threatened veto the bill failed in the house.

When Bush came into power after Reagan - support for Hussein increased.

The US under Reagan supported Saddam throughout his reign of terror.

From and article written by Galbraith

Reagan most certainly was. We supported Iraq against Iran.. Have you never heard of the Dual Containment Policy? It worked quite well for 20 years or so.. It was to prevent Iran from becoming ascendant in the ME.

 

Sadly the US didn't bat an eye when the Kurds were gassed at Halabja.

 

Supporting death squad dictators is what the US was doing (overtly and covertly) during the 80's - not a good period in US history on a foreign policy front.

Suharto - East Timor Genocide - in hopes of getting our hands on those delicious Indonesian resources. Suharto was supported for over a decade - at a time when the UN and every other rights group on the planet - declared him guilty of war crimes and genocide ... after illegally annexing East Timor.

El Salvador/Guatemala (E/G) - many of the elite soldiers for these death squad dictators were trained in terror at the "School of the America's"

The atrocities are too long to list - the stuff that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation commission was beyond horror. dragging children over barbed wire - "Till the flesh hung from their bones" - in front of their parents.

That's what "our boys" were doing - the side we supported - under the false narrative pretense of "fighting Communism"

The political reality in El Salvador was that big corps had come in - and the people wanted more rights - The movie Romero was done on the execution of Arch Bishop Romero - who worked with the popular uprising. It was a mostly peaceful popular uprising. Six nuns were killed in another incident. The stories are atrocious .. what these death squads were doing.

But - in a conversation about Reagan - how can we not mention the other of the Central American cluster buck - Nicaragua.
AKA - "Contragate".

In this case congress had forbidden funding. The EG elections were a sham.

The elections in Nicaragua were not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Ortega

Ortega was re-elected in 2006. The people still apparently seem to like him.

His was a popular uprising in every sense of the word - he had a high percentage of the people behind him.

We supported the Sandinista's - the other side of the civil war - an action which was illegal under our own congress - and illegal under international law. This story just didn't quit - clandestine arms sales to Iran - use of drug cartel planes to ship cocaine one way and weapons the other.

Oliver North took the fall for Rotten Ronnie - Dirty Deed's - done dirt cheap

 

Sentencing anyone for hanging without allowing participation of a lawyer is cruel and unjust. There are many reason why decent men joined ISIS – some of this is poor childhood, abuses or crime. ISIS members deserve…just joking. Assad is not so bad after all.

 

None did. None were decent.
I know you've posted this in jest, but on this board you have members who really like those Isis bastard.

 

Reagan did support Saddam.. That was part of the Dual Containment Policy.

 

There's nobody on the board who liked ISIS.. The Syrian people hated ISIS just like they hated Assad.

You are 100% right, Republicans respect woman right to abortion, respect our right to unionize, respect gays rights to marriage and to adopt children.

When you call homosexuals gay, you totally disrespect heterosexuals. If they are gay or happy in other words, we heterosexuals must be out of our minds happy. We are not against unions, only we do not like you being against good solid jobs for workers. (presuming you are a democrat, but if you are not, you are one of us)
