Assad Condemns "Savage" Paris Attacks, Blames French Foreign Policy
On the morning after the stunning and tragic wave of terror attacks that turned the streets of Paris into a veritable warzone on Friday evening, the French (not to mention the world) are searching for answers.
And we don’t mean in terms of assigning blame. ISIS has claimed responsibility and indeed, despite some early suggestions by terrorist “experts” that the attack looked more like the work of al-Qaeda, there was never any real question as to who would be blamed and who would take “credit.”
Rather, the questions now revolve around how it could have come to this. Between last night’s massacre in the streets of Paris and a refugee crisis that to most Europeans probably seems to have come out of nowhere, it must appear to some as if the world has inexplicably descended into chaos over the past six or so months.
Of course that’s not the case. The events that ultimately led to the enormous people flows into Europe and to Friday’s attacks in Paris have been unfolding in Syria for the better part of five years and because this probably isn’t the time for a scathing Western foreign policy critique on our part, we simply present comments below from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with not further comment. The first passages are from mid-September, the second from today.

From September
(via CNN)
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is blaming Western nations for fueling the refugee crisis by supporting opposition groups in his country's bloody civil war.
"If you are worried about them, stop supporting terrorists," he said in an interview with Russian news organizations. "That's what we think regarding the crisis. This is the core of the whole issue of refugees."
"Europe is responsible because it supported terrorism," he said in the interview at his home in Damascus, the capital.
The European Union in May 2013 ended an arms embargo on rebel groups fighting the Syrian government. The United States, meanwhile, has been offering limited support to moderate Syrian rebels in the fight against ISIS.
"Can you feel sad for a child's death in the sea and not for thousands of children who have been killed by the terrorists in Syria?" al-Assad said, referring to images of a dead Syrian boy that shocked the world. "And also for men, women, and the elderly? These European double standards are no longer acceptable."
Despite his bitter accusations, al-Assad said he was willing to shake hands with any leader who would join the fight against ISIS and hoped to cooperate with the West and Saudi Arabia in building a "real antiterrorist coalition," the Russian news agency Interfax reported.
He said his forces weren't communicating or cooperating tactically with the U.S.-led coalition that's carrying out airstrikes against ISIS positions in Syria and Iraq.
"They cannot accept the reality that we are the only power fighting ISIS on the ground," he said in reference to the United States. "For them, maybe if they cooperate with the Syrian Army, this is like a recognition or our effectiveness in fighting ISIS."
He accused the U.S. government of "willful blindness" on the matter.

From today
Syrian President Bashar al Assad condemned Friday's attacks in Paris and said that such acts of terror were similar to what his people had faced in years of violent civil war.
"What France suffered from savage terror is what the Syrian people have been enduring for over five years," the Syrian President was quoted as saying on state media and Lebanese TV station al Mayadeen
(via AFP)
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Saturday that French policy had contributed to the "spread of terrorism" that culminated in attacks claimed by the Islamic State group which killed 128 people in Paris.
In a meeting with a delegation of French lawmakers in Damascus, Assad said France's "mistaken policies... had contributed to the spread of terrorism."
"The terrorist attacks that targeted the French capital Paris cannot be separated from what happened in the Lebanese capital Beirut lately and from what has been happening in Syria for the past five years and in other areas," he said.
Assad was referring to twin bombings claimed by IS which killed 44 people on Thursday in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of his Lebanese ally, Shiite militant group Hezbollah.
Assad regards all the rebel groups fighting his forces inside Syria as "terrorists", not just IS.
Assad said he had "warned against what would happen in Europe for the past three years."
"We said, don't take what is happening in Syria lightly. Unfortunately, European officials did not listen," he said, in comments to the delegation broadcast by France's Europe 1 radio.
He said French President Francois Hollande "should change his policy."
"The question that is being asked throughout France today is, was France's policy over the past five years the right one? The answer is no."

Let's see. The EU caused economic chaos in Greece, and the greek government is now just their local enforcers. There's chaos in France and soon...
Good thing they closed the barn doors . . .
Here's a prophetic quote from Winston Churchill posted on Burning Platform;
http://www.theburningplatform.com/2015/11/14/quote-of-the-day-islam-edit...
Is this being megaphoned or something, I keep seeing it posted by various breeds of dumbass "new users" over these past few hours.
Let's resurrect Churchill's imperial propaganda, yeah that's the ticket! What's funny is that today's "pundits" are so brain-dead that they actually do use these tropes still, on a daily basis. 100 year old propaganda! Just like the 100 year old crumbling US infrastructure, we'll use it 'til we lose it. LOL
Blowback....."why?" is understood by way too few.
They're probably loading the Tomahawk missiles as we speak. Fucking retarded US "servicemen". Fuck them all into a watery grave.
Seriously, Fuck every single US serviceman who knows what's about to happen and still goes along with it. Fuck them all, in the derriere with a machete, al a Qaddafi.
This is a fucking bridge too far and it's going to start a nuclear war.
Unfortunately many of my fellow Americans are incedibly brainwashed by our Jewish run Media...
they are in quite the pathetic state of ignorance. although no excuse.
I don't think the Russians are too concerned about Tomahawks. We played out that story Sept 2013. The US Navy had 4 destroyers/missile frigates ready to launch Tomahawks at Syria.
Russia had at least 5 ships including 2 or 3 that could have shot down the Tomahawks. The US Navy backed down. Who knows if the Russians used any ECM technology during that period.
The Russia equivalent is the Kalibr which we saw flight out of the Caspian Sea off small coastal korvette ships. 1,000 miles. The anti-ship version of the Kalibr goes supersonic in the final stages towards the ship so it is almost unstoppable.

No one wins if the Russia engages the US, not even the Russians.
Hey L Bean, fuck you and the horse you came in on. Go the fuck back to Jooland you fucking kike.
Hey Freddie, Dick Cheney just gave you a negative!
I guess the american soldier is some where in Oakland? Its time to deploy some american soldiers to protect the french.
Oh, hell, no! They're likely in Koolaid-Central, in places like Ft. Collins CO, or in Utah.
Those people LOVE "Ordnung" and to follow Rules. Their Ministers, Elders and Book of Holy Superstition tells them so. They've been told these "truths" since they were little.
Plenty are too poor and too stupid to realize that enlisting at 18 is a dumb decision, and that ROTC gets them more cash, they get their teens in college, and they're not the poor bastards who are sent to die "For God and Country"...
That's why when I joined the Navy I chose Aviation Machinist as my Navy specialty. I was assigned to a squadron where the only people sent in harm's way were the commissioned officer pilots and some brain dead aircrewmen. Yeah, I got my hands greasy but at least I didn't get my ass shot up, not to mention three hot squares a day and weekend liberty. WOOWIE!!!
That phrase "Die for God and country" doesn't even make sense anymore. Because the US has become a secular nation. Only the Russians die for God and country now. US soldiers "just die".
You always just die.

I will reserve comments on the Paris shooting/bombing last night until the US and Israel has time to confirm whether all these DEAD bombers were ISIS 1.0 created to remove Assad, or if instead these were ISIS 2.0, the *moderate* bombers also created by the US and Israel to remove Assad from power so they can divey up all the spoils of their genocide in the Middle/Near East/North Africa/Russia/China/North Korea/Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan/ Yemen/Somalia/etc/etc/etc.
See, if this is ISIS 1.0...France should be cautioned about asking the US for "Protection". This would be like inviting your convicted rapist over for dinner and drinks...
IF on the other hand these were the ISIS 2.0, you know the *Moderate* killers....well sure, we are from the US and Israel, and we are here to help you find your killers. Did you say wine?
Oui. French wine.
Plus French Fries, French Baguettes, Fromage, and Grey Goose vodka. And Hermes silk scarves for the GayBLT.
Chin chin, santee.
French vodka??? I don't thinks so.
I stick with Polish.
Might as well get the real stuff from the country
where it originated.
Saigon during the Vietnam war was safer than any European capital, NOW. Just how many fucked up "world leaders" did it take to arrive at this sordid mess...Kill all NeoClowns would be a wonderful start to a better world...
Of course he side-stepped the point that western policy created and funded elements of what became isis and continue to do so at mccains urging. Of course we only support the nice terrorists, you know - "our guys" as mccain puts it.
The west has been taking this quite seriously and have supported it... until now.
When will obomber of women and children address that issue?
We support the kingdoms that behead thier citizens.
We continue the neocon aganda of nation building.
We continue bombing one side and another with distain for killing of inocent people.
I would say weve been taking the issue quite seriously.
Its just that our military is controlled by pathologic morons.
I dont support them and regret that they do this in my name.
Willie Clinton is wondering about now, how much would these ISIS fuckers pay, er, donate to the Clinton Foundation for a little speech, photo op and grip and grin?
you reap what you sow, nuff said
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.
Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
Winston S. Churchill, The River War
prescient. So what happens in Europe next? Europeans have be stultified by far left progressive policies and propoganda for years, but that doesn't mean that when push comes to shove they won't shove back hard. A return to walled cities?
KEYWORD "Central Africa", which Churchill was desperately trying to colonize at the time. All that this proves is that no one has come up with an original slander in over a hundred years. It's all just borrowed from Churchill, a drunken slug of State if ever there was one.
Can we get some better prop-A-ganda, 4 week old troll, plz? I demand a better show.
London Next? NYC next? were I live, the Muslim people with in there race and Ethnicity have to apply pressure to these cowards who happen to do these evil acts.. Muslim people you are fanatics and morons by that even if you wiped Israel off the map.. You will end killing each other you Muslim Morons.. You people are cowards around the Muslim community for not standing up.. and it shows how you treat women..Forget about Sweden were rape is legal by Muslims on Swedish women.. The media never covers the story thank god for google and ZH...
Rape is legal in Sweden by Muslims on Swedish women? I truly can't believe i'm gonna say this, but--you're right.
Assad, Putin, Trump...that's about it for my Hero list.
Assad, Putin, Ron Paul, Nigel Farage, Gaddafi.
The Paris attacks were a Gladio type operation to swing the coming G20 meeting and western public to support putting troops on the ground in Syria to further the Western agenda to continue its attack on the East.
It all comes back to Israel and the USSA.
CNN journalists looked very sad when they first find out one of the terrorists was indeed French citizen I guess they were expecting to be Syrian or Russsian.
Just an idle thought:
Syrian passport found belonging to Paris terrorist, supposed "refugee" who entered Europe through Greece.
Almost like Sebian who assasinated Arch Duke Ferdinand to start WW1. France declares war on Syria, and then.....
They fly over to Syria and get their baguette munching asses shot out of the sky by the Russians.
Maybe lose that big floating target with planes on it.
Call it divine intervention, good/bad luck or whatever - but dictators exist for a reason. When Saddam, Gadaffi were in power - they seemed to keep things under control With Assad in Syria - when left to his own devices, things went smoothly (as far as peace was concerned). Look what happens when the world gets involved and takes these tyrants out. Really works out well doesn't it?
Just a matter of perspective: it works well for Zion and the MIC!
We set them up and we knock them down again, there is no luck involved, not divine intervention either - God doesn't ship Toyota Hylux or do ammo drops.
'God doesn't ship Toyota Hilux or do ammo drops.'
According to ISIS he does, there is no way they would thank the US for the presents.
ISIS was created by the Americans and their NATO allies including FRANCE. As long as NATO is not "contained," ISIS will not be contained.
NATO = ISIS
USA = NATO
How can the French denounce the work of their own minions, ISIS? Remember, France is a democracy and the French people choose their government. Therefore, the French are responsible for the actions of their government that supports ISIS which the French simply label as 'anti-Assad forces' to cover up their duplicity, involvement and RESPONSIBILITY in the atrocities committed by ISIS. To add insult to injury, the French, along with their American friends, bomb Syrian infrastructure back into the stone age pretending that they are only hitting ISIS.
FRANCE = ISIS
