Who does the United States support in Syria?

Full story: The Washington Post

Margaret C. from Albany, NY writes in with this question on Syria and a potential successor to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad: How can the Obama administration be keen on Syrian President Assad stepping down when they have not once mentioned who would take over? Nearly a year after the massacres and we still have no idea who would follow Assad? ... (more)

I don't believe that the U.S. wishes to declare any person for this position. It should be decided by a democratic populous of the people there that are now hurting. The U.S. will no doubt have aspirations that would probably find a candidate that has like minded aspirations and show favoritism toward them. But it is the PEOPLE'S VOTE that COUNTS.

And your country support ruthless dictators. I don't want U.S. involvement. Since the U.S. cannot get its nose out of the U.N. then we are stuck supporting their decisions!! We really need pack up the U.N. and ship every one of those clowns to some Middle East Country! Furthermore, I would support Assad too if my life was threatened. Like Nazi Germany, most supported Hitler because if they did not, they were sent to the Concentration Camps!! Most civilized countries have elections so when you have brutal Dictators like China, Syria, Iran and the list goes on there is no way to get rid of the tyrants other than by force!! The people are stuck with their ruthless Dictators their whole lives and then when that clown passes, daddy appoints another ruthless Dictator and this is an endless cycle! It's like a nightmare that will not go away!! I don't blame the people one bit!! Ask yourself why the Syrian clown living in New York is not worried one iota!! He's a Paid Assad Sock Puppet! Period!
China supports Syria and guess what? There is NO freedom in China to how many children you can have to the Internet!

The American people support the rebels who want to topple the hostile Assad regime. Obama supports the regime.

Like lots of right wingers, she evidently imagines that if we're not supporting an anti-Islamist dictator in an Arab country then we must be supporting al Qaeda.

Yes, Virginia, right wingers are indeed very strange and rather stupid people. They talk about democracy, but prefer dictatorships everywhere but here, and I have my suspicions about that.

Syrian, a lackey to the barbarous and bloody Assad dictatorship, naturally wants to misinform Americans and pretend that the opposition are "terrorists" and a bigger danger than his boss.

I'm sure that Hitler's boys tried to pretend the same thing about Jews, homosexuals, and intellectuals in pre-war Germany. Doesn't change the nature of the beast in charge.

Don't believe anything Syrian says. He is a paid propagandist.

The first part of that is questionable, but the part about Obama is ridiculous. His administration has criticized Assad sharply.

Oh sure!! Disregard the Assad SyrianAsswiper. He doesn't have the mental capacity to actually engage in a debate, so he copies and pastes his same idiotic stupidity ad nauseam. He spends his life defending a an Assad ruthless Dictator regime that U.N. and the Arab League truly despises. Have you wiped Assad's rear end lately?? It's not just the West that's against Assad Dummy!! It's the U.N. and Arab League!! Stop the ignorant nonsense!! YOU CAN THANK RUSSIA AND CHINA WHEN YOU MOVE THAT LYING GUM FLAPPIN MOUTH OF YOURS FROM NEW YORK TO SYRIA WHERE YOU BELONG CLOWN!! Stand up Assad! And be counted as one of the many ruthless murdering Dictators!

Please don't waste your Time with an Automated Phone Bank of Paid, Full Time, Scripted Full Time Pro-Assad, Pro-Hamas, Anti-Jewish Pro-Hitler Parasites.

First off; China, Assad and Hamas's Multi-Billion (Trillion) Propaganda Industry is subsidized by their Foreign Ministry, have sophisticated Film Studios for Phony U-Tube altering and Creation, Swarms of Psuedo "Fictorians" to Fabricate complete Lies to supply their Assad and Hamas Propaganda Ministry to regurgitate.

"THE SYIAN DINGBAT" is not an actual "Person"....it is just a Megaphone Operated Noise Making, product of today's, Pro-Chinese, Pro-Assad, Pro-Hamas, Pro-Hitler and Nazi Cyber Scams.
You're one to talk SYRIAN Dingbat!!

Of course not. He's saying that we will be supporting Israel and its interests in Syria, whatever they may be.

After D.C.'s support for the "freedom fighters" in Egypt resulted in the take over of their Country by the Islamic extremists we best stay the HELL out of Syria. These tribal societies are simply too complicated for our delicate "progressive" sensibilities.

Yes, the difference between democracy and dictatorship is too complicated for most Americans to understand.

The NATO effort in brought to power a transitional government that had the al Qaeda standard flying above the Benghazi courthouse as soon as NATO pulled out and celebrated with a sea of al Qaeda flags throughout the city, and resulted in a prosperous, peaceful free-market democracy in much the same way that tapping an orange with a spoon turns it into an apple.

Western sources insist, comically, that the resolution on Syria was not about regime change. Let’s take a look at it. Right away, you notice among the co-sponsors appear the newly-back-under-Sharia-law Libya, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The first is a new bobblehead that will rubber-stamp any western initiative likely to result in expansion of Islamic fundamentalist influence. The latter two are reliable western stooges; one advertises itself as “America’s strongest partner in the Gulf”, and the other is a monarchy in which everything is subject to state censorship, the authorities are unelected and unaccountable, women are largely excluded from the labour force and one in seven adults is illiterate. Gallant company, indeed.

According to French journalist Thierry Meyssan, there is no real “Free Syrian Army” as portrayed in the western press. Instead, it consists of a couple of hundred individuals who are based in Turkey and Lebanon, and parades for the cameras whenever the western media wants a money shot. The real resistance to the Syrian government is al Qaeda-affiliated irregulars under the command of Libyan Abdel Hakim Belhaj. Belhaj is a controversial individual who was recently detained leaving the airport in Tripoli with a large bag of cash for the Syrian “rebels”. Qatar – America’s Strongest Partner in the Gulf”– has been fronting the “rebels” weapons. Again according to Meyssan, the U.N. High Commissioner cited some 5000 “victims of repression”, but could supply only two names, neither of which checked out. The armed factions fighting the government are Pashtuns and Arabs recruited by Saudi Arabia and trained by German and French Special Forces. He closes with the observation that the Muslim Brotherhood which the west would like to install in Syria is historically linked to MI6, and is “swimming in grants from the Gulf Cooperation Council”. High-octane stuff.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aquarius

The emotional atmosphere is quite potent under this Lunar Eclipse, evoking a sense of crisis. The problems you've been experiencing with a certain person lately come to a head during the next fortnight, making you feel that you have to take drastic action or lay down the law. Yet this could make the situation worse than ever, especially if you act from a sense of panic or desperation. Take things gently and don't throw your weight around unless it's absolutely necessary.
