In the midst of protests against the government of Syria, Hillary Clinton claimed that Assad was a different type of leader than his father and, in a mealy-mouthed way, talked about the perception that he was a "reformer." She backed off those statements very quickly after a firestorm of criticism rained down from both sides of the political aisle. Just to set the record straight, Bashar Assad is NOT a reformer. In fact, like last week's Bad Guy (Che Guevara) he is a murderer and a thug. Here are some facts to support that claim:
- Long-time ally and puppet of the terror masters in Iran.
- Permitted access to Syria to terrorist groups that were funding and arming jihadists crossing into Iraq to kill our soldiers.
- Supporter and collaborator with Hezbollah in their war against Israel.
- Very likely directed assassination against popular Lebanese and ant-Syrian politician, Rafik Hariri.
- Collaborator with North Korea on a covert Nuclear weapons facility that the Israelis, thankfully, destroyed in 2007.
- Nearly 1,500 government protectors have been murders by his henchmen (with help from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard) in the last few months.
John Bolton, former US Ambassador to the UN and good guy, gave a speech entitled "Beyond the Axis of Evil" in 2002 which added Syria, Libya and Cuba to President Bush's Axis of Evil.
Make no mistake about it, Assad is a very bad guy and one of our enemies. The world would be a better place without him.
