ISIS has killed far, far fewer people than Assad has, and only exist in Syria because of him in the first place.

A whole hell of a lot of Syrians, though, are praying for a real response from the US now. Take out Assad’s airports and you’ll find a lot of grateful folks in the ME.

America’s been killing Syrian civilians for years, but the world is happy to ignore it until talk turns to bombing Assad in addition to ISIS.

Oh, and Assad has left the building:

صح

While I have people telling me that gosh, Assad’s not really that bad as far as dictators go, I’d like to say RIP to the following people:

Besides, it’s overwhelmingly likely we get another empty symbolic strike that costs millions of dollars and does no real harm to Assad.

I’ve seen this guy be kind of okay before, but he seriously seems to have no idea what’s happening in Syria....

There is no such thing as worse than Assad.

Or... perhaps the US could actually take out some Syrian military airports at long last. Start with the one in Mezzeh, please.

Oh, I know.

Syrians are fully on board with a US reprisal. Go vote yes in that Fox poll.

They also sniped and killed a journalist wearing a press jacket over the weekend

Egyptians shouldn’t govern Michigan, that’s why. It’s in the Bible.

You do good work, Katrina.

Which doesn’t mean there won’t also be a response from the US (and maybe France).

I wonder if “big price to pay” will come from the Israels

That was the administration’s story at the time, yes, and I even believed it myself at the time. But, well:

‘To a billion hells, Chemical Bashar.’
