Great news. Mission accomplished.
Note to neo cons:
America has no right to "Occupy Syria".
Yeah, time to disengage. We've done enough damage over there. How many do we have to kill and maim? These are not just wars. It is time to come home.
No guff. This was such bullshit. There never was a civil war. Even now media outlets still keep referring it to a civil war even though the jihadists were from over 80 freaking countries bought and paid for by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and for some time in the beginning Turkey.
That is not a civil war. Its an invasion by Sunni mercenaries. Assad's already rebuilding. I wish the people of Syria well. And apologies for all the western nations who backed a plan to give Syria to the Muslim Brotherhood.
tiny----you are delusional. Syria is a MAJORITY sunni nation held
controlled by a minority alawite Baathist pro-Iranian cabal. -----What is true is lots of sunnis fled Iraq-----into Syria. To describe them as "WESTERN NATION PLANTS" is koranic
poetry-------and of course there are the "WESTERN CONTROLED"
kurds-----who somehow fall into the "SUNNI MERCENARY"
category in your befuddled mind. Sheeeesh----not all sunnis are
'MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD" Nothing will be well for Syria when
bashar prostitutes himself to Iran
I don't have opinions I have facts. ThE Syrian Army is mainly Sunni. Some of the most decorated are Sunni.
"The Syrian Arab Army has held its own for more than five years. Its numbers might have been depleted, as is normal for any wartime military, but a close glance at its military reveals that its core, perhaps unexpectedly to many, is Sunni.
The current minister of defense, Fahd al-Freij, is one of the most decorated officers in Syrian military history and hails from the Sunni heartland of Hama. The two most powerful intelligence chiefs, Ali Mamlouk and Mohammad Dib Zaitoun, have remained loyal to the Syrian government—and are both Sunnis from influential families.
The now-dead and dreaded strongman of Syrian intelligence, Rustom Ghazaleh, who ruled Lebanon with an iron fist, was a Sunni, and the head of the investigative branch of the political directorate, Mahmoud al-Khattib, is from an old Damascene Sunni family
General Ramadan Mahmoud Ramadan, commander of the Thirty-Fifth Special Forces Regiment, which is tasked with the protection of western Damascus, is another high-ranking Sunni, as is Brigadier General Jihad Mohamed Sultan, the commander of the Sixty-Fifth Brigade that guards Latakia."
AND this is a biggie....
The Syrian Arab Army is also the only Arab army with multiple Christians serving as generals. The most famous of these was Daoud Rajha, the Greek Orthodox army chief of staff.
The two most influential Lebanese Christian leaders, now on the verge of becoming the next president of Lebanon, are Michel Aoun and Suleiman Franjieh, who are also allies of the Syrian Arab Army and President Assad. Deir al-Zour is an entirely Sunni city which has held out against ISIS encirclement for two years—and is commanded by the Druze General Issam Zahreddine."
