Brutal bloodthirsty dictator wins reelection

[planosteve]

In case you didn’t hear from the presstitute media, Syrian president Assad was just re-elected with 88.7% of the vote. Assad is the “brutal dictator” that Obama claims the Syrian people are trying to overthrow. The vote clearly puts the lie, yet again, to Washington.

Voting was not possible in some parts of Syria where the Washington-backed Islamist jihadists hold sway. Nevertheless, the vote clearly shows that it is Washington and not the Syrian people who want to overthrow Assad.

Washington and its British vassal had no choice but to allege, without any proof whatsoever as always, that the election was unfair and unfree.

When Washington puts out massive propaganda about how everyone in Syria wants to overthrow “a dictator” and then the people re-elect “the dictator” by 88.7% of the vote, Washington’s propaganda is exposed.

It is hard for even the West to deny that the recent election was a huge success for the government in Damascus, stamping out the illusion of a divided Syria. The country is mired in protracted conflict not because of a “popular uprising,” but because of a premeditated proxy war organized by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia (and involving other NATO-GCC members) as early as 2007 – this confirmed in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh’s 2007 New Yorker report titled, “The Redirection.”

A good observation about the 2 faced Obama administration.

Obama is against fighting men crossing into southeastern Ukraine from Russian and other lands. Obama supports fighting men crossing into Syria from other lands in that region. In Ukraine’s case, he supports the central government; in Syria’s case, he does not. He’s for Poroshenko and against Assad. In Ukraine, Obama is forging permanent military relations with the central government. He’ll be sending arms, training and advisers. In Syria, Obama supports rebels and demands that Assad go. He wants to bring down the government.
