Rick Warren and Bashar AlAssad

Christopher Hitchens, there to remind you, that there are good reasons, other than his anti-Gay views, why Obama's choice for Inaguration's pastor is a bad one, such as his relationship with Bisho. The democrats probably won't see a problem with the trip he made or the meeting he had, since they are all about talking [...]

Whitewashing the Assads

The PR campaign to make Syria look better is in full swing, and its using Asmaa, Bisho's wife, as their postergirl. I love how they are talking about how she is planning to combat the poverty of the country while completely ignoring that this is due to the fact that the Assad family mafia and [...]

Irony, defined

Watching Asala- the pro-Aassad syrian superstar- singing over the part of Rafiq Al Harriri's death in the 45 minute fuckfest song titled "The arabian conscience"!
Saad must be loving this! 

HA leader gets bombed in Syria..

So, not only do we have a Hezballah leader killed, but a car bomb in Syria as well? I would dance if I didn't think that something about this piece of news stinks like an anchovies' armpit!

The Israeli strike thing pt.2

People are still talking about this, and now they are saying Israeli commandos were involved. For real:

Another
leak appeared via the Sunday Times, this time with enough granularity
to consider it a genuine leak. According to that report, the operation
was carried out by Israeli commandos supported by Israeli aircraft,
under the direct management of Israeli Defense Minister [...]

That Israeli Strike thing

Ever since Israel had that air strike inside Syria and the world is acting as if the Israeli-Syrian war is just around the corner. Of course, the silence around the whole thing is opening the door wide open for speculation : Is it a dry run for an Iran attack? Is it [...]

I love Seymour Hersh

From his latest al jazeerah interview:

1)       American
intelligence sources told him that Lebanese AND middle Eastern parties
opposed to Syria misled the Unites States and France with false
evidence (or manufactured evidence) designed to implicate Syria in the
Killing.
2)       His
sources at the UN tell him there is no evidence against Syria yet. That
the Hariri killing was very carefully planned [...]

Landis vs. Young

Issandr told me of their catfight yesterday, but I didn't know it was getting this big. Hell, even Abu Kais- a lebanese shia himself- has joined the fun!

Lovers’ spat

If this is to be believed, then Assad and A.J. are mad at each other. However, el seyaseyah isn't exactly the most trusted source, so..ehh..
But If Iran sold out syria to avoid a bigger Sunni-Shia conflict, they might be smarter than most people give them credit for. 

Diane Sawyer is a moron

I know, I know. It's old news, but seriously, have you seen her Syria interview? Check that shit out here!

Some of the Assad’s are moving to Iran?

Well, according to the lebanese Al Seyasseyah newspaper , the Assad family are setting up houses in Iran to house Rafiq al Harriry murder suspects from the Family (Maher Al Assad and Wasef Shawkat). The reasoning, according to the paper, is Iran's ability to ignore the international community!
Nice, ehh? 

What passes for entertainment in Syria

This is so despicabale, especially when you know that all syrian TV soaps are usually funded by the syrian government. Those poor people who watched and believed this. No wonder!

The latest syrian charade

Let's see if anyone fell for this after reading this!

Why John Bolton rules!

We need more politicians who are not ..well..politician-like. Case in point: Bolton on Gamayel!

Whooops

Someone in Syria fucked up!

Al Seyassah daily learned from authoritative sources in Beirut, that
one of the editors of the Syrian National News Agency (SANA) placed a
phone call to a pro-Syrian Lebanese newspaper at 3:05 pm on Tuesday.
The caller inquired about the details of the assassination of Lebanese
Minister for Industry Pierre Gemayel, raising eyebrows at the [...]

Syria wants peace with Israel

Hey, that's what Bashar said. I don't really believe him to be serious, but hey, at least he said it!

On the Syria US embassy attack

All of you, by now, have heard of the Syria US embassy attack. In case
you haven't, here is a quick recap:

Armed Islamic militants attempted to storm the U.S. Embassy in a brazen
attack Tuesday, the government said. Four people were killed, including
three of the assailants. There was no immediate claim of
responsibility, but an al-Qaida offshoot group [...]

The Harriri assassinations are back

It has started all over again.

A leading investigator in the assassination of a former Lebanese prime
minister was wounded by a roadside bomb that killed four other people
Tuesday. Lt. Col. Samir Shehade, deputy head of the intelligence
department in the national police force, was hospitalized in stable
condition in the southern port of Sidon.
Four of Shehade's aides and [...]

Syria wins again

It seems that the only people who profited and who are still profiting from the Lebanese Israeli war are the syrians. Hell, this war is probably the best thing that ever happened to their economy.

Meet the Qubaisiate sisterhood

The Qubaisiate group is a female islamic group that is part of a risining trend of islamization occuring in Syria. Syria, with all its faults, has 92 sects, which meant that it has remained secular as a matter of practicality. Naturally, this is also aided by the historically brutal crackdowns that the Alawite regime has [...]
