Syrian chemical weapons factory head assassinated

It doesn't matter that a Syrian rebel group claimed responsibility for the assassination of the director of a government chemical weapons factory in a car bomb attack. They could have uncovered video showing a Syrian rebel rigging the bomb. The Syrian government will blame the Jews for everything bad that happens in the world.

Aziz Asber was the director of the Syrian Scientific Research Center, a center dedicated to the chemical extermination of everyone who opposes the current Syrian government under Bashar al-Assad [aka: No Chin Bashar]. Asber died near the city of Homs when explosives planted in his car detonated, pro-regime newspaper Al-Watan reported Sunday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attack occurred Saturday. The SOHR is a monitoring group.

The Abu Amara Brigades rebel group claimed responsibility in a statement posted on its Telegram channel, and not one member of the group is Jewish, yet Syria still blames the Jews. The group is an affiliate of Tahrir al-Sham, which is linked with al-Qaeda.

Not nice people and not affiliated with any Jewish organizations in Israel.

Al-Watan blamed Israel for Asber's killing.

But perhaps al-Watan makes a good point. After all, an Israeli official refused to comment on the report, says Reuters. And Israel has carried out air strikes in Syria to stop weapons transfers to Lebanese terrorists Hezbollah, which supports Syria's campaign against the rebels.

Western governments say the research center was a covert chemical weapons facility and has been targeted by air strikes last year.

In April, the U.S., France and Britain struck a "research" facility in Damascus in response to a gas attack in Douma killing over 40 people.

A UN investigation held Bashar al-Assad's regime responsible for a sarin gas attack on the then-rebel bastion Khan Sheikhoun in April of last year, which killed about 100 people.

But the most horrific attack blamed on Assad, was in 2013 in which over 1,000 people died from serin gas in a rebel-held area in the suburbs of Damascus.

No Chin Assad's forces are backed by Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, so you know that they're evil.

U.S. fires 59 Tomahawk Cruise missiles at Syrian air field

The Trump administration did a "reverse Obama" and actually set down a red line, not with words, but with Cruise missiles that targeted Shayrat's airbase, runway, aircraft, control towers, ammunition areas, hangars and fuel supply. 

The airbase is near the city of Homs.

The 59 long-range all-weather missiles weigh 3,500 pounds with booster and cost $1.59 million each which means tonight cost the taxpayer 93.81 million US dollars. Each missile is 18 feet 3 inches long (20.5 feet with booster) a 20.4 inch diameter and carries a 1,000 pound payload of high explosives.

The Cruise missile only flies 550 mph downhill--it's slow but very effective.

The missiles were fired by the USS Ross and USS Porter at 8:45 p.m. ET, just as President Trump said 'goodnight' to Chinese President Xi Jinping. It was well-timed. Xi was not told about what was about to happen but was told afterward.

The Russians were notified about the strike, as well they should, and the left will probably accuse Mr. Trump of warning them because of the President's special relationship with Putin. That's ridiculous--of course he needed to warn them.

The Pentagon is calling the U.S. attack a "proportional response," which is incredibly stupid--you attack to win, not to hit as hard as you've been hit. 

"It is in the vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons," President Trump said in a statement. "Tonight I call on all civilized nations to join us in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in Syria, and also to end terrorism of all kinds and all types."

Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis said based on early indications the strike "had severely damaged or destroyed Syrian aircraft and support infrastructure and equipment . . . reducing the Syrian Government's ability to deliver chemical weapons."

The President said Shayrat was used as a staging point for Tuesday's chemical weapons attack on rebel-held territory. As many as 72 men, women and children were killed by what is believed to be sarin gas, a highly deadly nerve gas and a clear war crime.

"Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children," Trump said. "Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack. No child of God should ever suffer such horror."

There will likely be much more to follow.

U.S.-Backed Syrian Rebels Beheads Child

U.S.-backed Syrian rebel mujahideen group Nour-al-din el Zanki beheaded a child (believed to be around 12) as they screamed "Allahu Akbar." The 'tough guys' made a video to show their barbarism. The child's name was Abdullah Issa.

The video shows the fighters telling the camera, "These are the prisoners from Liwa al-Quds (Jerusalem Brigade--a Palestinian militia group). He [Assad] cannot stoop any lower--he sent us children today. Are you sending us children?"

We fund these scumbags because they fight against the Assad regime, but do we actually know what the hell we're doing under this administration?

Nour-al-din el-Zanki accused the boy of being a spy, and one rebel said of the child, "These are the dogs of Assad. These are you people, Bashar."

Another rebel says in the video, "We shall not leave anyone in Handarat," referring to the Palestinian refugee camp where the regime and rebel forces is currently fighting.

The shouts of "Takbir" and "Allahu Akbar" ring out as one 'brave' fighter saws through the child's neck, then holds the head aloft as he shouts "Allahu Akbar!" 

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights official Rami Abdel Rahman told France Press that "The child is no more than 13-years-old. He was arrested today in the area of Handarat, but the slaughtering happened in el-Mashab neighborhood.

Reports on Issa's age vary from 11 and 13. Some believe he was an 11-year-old Palestinian child from Handarat, while others claim that he was a Syrian from Homs.

"This is one of the most terrible execution acts that I have seen since the revolution began in Syria," Rahman said.

Nour-al-din el-Zanki condemned the beheading claiming that it was performed by those who do not represent the group. "All of the people who carried out this violation have been arrested and brought before a disciplinary tribunal," a group statement read.

"The movement of Nour-al-din el Zanki condemns the inhuman violation, since they believe in the principles and the targets of the revolution and the principle of human rights and the international agreements and the sharia. This violation doesn't reflect us and a one-time mistake does not reflect the general policy of the movement," the statement read.

The group's statement also blamed international actors stating that the group "holds the international community full responsible for keeping silent about the crimes regime forces are perpetuating which represent the lowest level of barbaric crimes committed under the ears and the eyes of the world and are represented by a killing machine which slaughters thousands of citizens."

Liwa al-Quds denied any connection with Issa, but this group, and other Islamic groups, have been known to use taqiyya to get what they want. They should be trusted like you would trust Hillary Clinton with your computer files.

Let's see what happens to these barbarians. I suspect they'll get the James Comey treatment.
