Jerusalem, Israel --- March 24, 2013 … Russian media sources have confirmed that Syria President Bashar Assad was shot by an Iranian bodyguard Saturday night.
"The lone assassination pumped several bullets at point blank range into Assad," said the source. "Assad was rushed to Al-Shami Hospital in Damascus in critical condition. He died on the operating table from heart failure resulting from massive blood loss."
An Israeli security analyst believes the report to be accurate.
"In the last 24 hours have we seen Assad? Any photographs or video? No. Nor will we see any as loyalists who are closest to Assad have been threatened if any leaked photos or reports reach Western media. Iran is attempting to take control of the Syrian army and its wealth of weapons as Syrian solders are now deserting in mass. I don't believe that the West will allow any Iranian control of Damascus."
"There was a reason why Barack Obama visited Israel. And it was not for a photo op with Miss Israel. I don't think Netanyahu would apologize to Turkey or to anyone. But if was between a dead Assad and saying sorry to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan I think there was no hesitation in making that telephone call to Ankara."
The Israeli analyst said that several events have taken place in the last 24 hours including the Syrian army shooting at an Israeli border patrol unit. It is believed that this action was coordinated by Assad loyalists who stood outside the dead President's hospital room to deflect the global media from the assassination and to pull Israel into a war with the Syrian army. The leader of the Western-backed Syrian opposition coalition announced he was resigning.

Drudge had up a small headline about Assad rumor but wiped it off.
assad assination
But, but, but CCTV is merely a propaganda arm and CNN is a real news...uh...
Never mind.
(sarc)
...Flash....Assad takes tea with Polonius......film at 11.
I say he’s dead.
good chance that the terrorist-backed side takes control
Probably a rumor to demoralize Assad supporters and possibly flush out someone close to him.
His centurions musta stwuck him woughly, vewy woughly ....
How might this impact the Obama Brotherhood?
Well, the 20 scalpels sticking out of his heart probably didn't help much either! ;)
We might have to wait until midday tomorrow to get a definitive answer on this. Is he dead? Was he even shot? Is Iran trying to cover his death up for as long as possible? Are the opposition spreading a rumor of his death to demoralize the Syrian Army?
We don’t know. If he is dead, however, it’s going to be open season on the Christians and the Alawites. Muslim Brotherhood government next. Israel declared No.1 enemy. Then it’s on to Jordan, my grand jihadists!
If only someone did this to Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, etc., etc. I hope the world has learned it is so much easier to kill one dictator than to lose millions feeding their tyranny. .
Sic Semper Tyrannis
Russia today is run by the Kremlin and is a propaganda venue for them. That’s why they always have on Alex Jones types and other freaks and creeps. I wouldn’t consider RT a valid source, since Assad was an ally of the Russkies.
Pardon me .... That nick of yours has me LOL. Please excuse me I just woke up again after a nap.
