These stories that dehumanize and vilify leaders and their families are becoming a tiresome cliché prior to a military strike. Before going into Iraq, Uday and Qussay became household names with stories of their barbarity and perversions. Psyops for domestic US consumption courtesy of the Pentagon.

The UK Daily Mail is given psyop articles by the Pentagon and prints them?

Wow.

You really call posting pics of mrs assad an attempt to ‘dehunanify’ her? Have another cold one, and then see if it looks any better, even without its kids in the same shot. I can almost guarantee NOT.

The Daily Mail is a London, UK publication.

It's Hate Week, Citizen!

Double plus un-good people we have always been at war with..

Don'tchaknow!

Pretty transparent once you have figured it out, isn't it?

And to think, Orwell didn't intend 1984 to be used as a manual.

You know what, I agree with you to a certain extent. I know a thing or two about Bashar al-Assad, and he's no where in the same league of Saddam Hussein or his father Hafez.

Bashar liked being an eye doctor and living in England and had no interest in either the military or politics until Hafez forced him into it after his older brother (and Hafez's heir apparent) Bassel was killed in a car wreck. He's not the monster that is currently being portrayed by Obama or the media.

I find it interesting that the West loved him up until the "Arab Spring," when the Muslim Brotherhood tried to overthrow him like it did Mubarek and Qaddafi and he fought back out of a sense of self-preservation. Now we're suddenly getting all of these stories that Bashar is the new Saddam and is slaughtering his own people. I ain't buying it.

How very true. Uday and Quassy were the quintessential gentlemen, giving up all their vast wealth engaged in philanthropy, both living an ascetic way of life.
