His latest appearance came as UN envoys debated a draft resolution that would enshrine a joint US-Russian plan to secure and neutralize his banned weapons in international law.

In the meantime Assad can wipeout the US/NATO Al-CIA-duh foreign mercenaries that are slaughtering Christians and civilians all over Syria. Without US airpower the poor little darlings are done for, no matter how many weapons the US taxpayer supplies them.

I hope the Syrian Army shows them no mercy.

My worst fear used to be a nuclear strike on DC that would decapitate the country. Now I’m revulsed by furtively wishing it would happen.
