What?
So, even though there is no one to come after the president the west chooses to overthrow, you go ahead and do it anyway just so you could secure precious oil and leave that country in a complete mess aka Libya. And you are okay with that?
Those terrorists that you call extremist couldn't had done ANYTHING if it weren't for the west to back them up. You really think otherwise?
I think someone who suggests that a person supporting religious freedom and defending minorities against nut job extremists is like Hitler, then there simply is not much to say.
Propaganda works, because people allow media to control their minds instead of investigating and looking for all sides to a story.

How much of that do we really believe, honestly? I don't think he did half of that. They were screaming wanting him out well before all the propaganda started, and Assad has done nothing but say he didn't do most of what he has been accused of.
I think we have been propagandised to death here, and we need to take both sides and what they are saying into consideration. There is a middle ground here that is the truth, and that middle ground says that a countries leader has to have some right to protect the country, even against it citizenry.
If there was an uprising in this country, a very serious one paid for by other countries who wanted to meddle in this countries politics, our military protects against ALL enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Can you imagine if this was your country? Funds and arms pouring into the country to extremist groups in order to take the government out? What would you want to see done?
I for one would want the government to protect against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. What if it was your country and the communists were trying to take it over and it was being paid for by all these other nations? In this case, the extremists wanted to take over to implement sharia over the people and take away religious freedom, or at least take away anything that wasn't second class citizenship for all minorities.
I would fight against that in a heart beat, and I think Assad had every right to fight against the same.

Again, why would you spend so much money on conventional army when you can use that money for nuclear weapons? This has been done by both US and Russia.
If Turkey and Saudi Arabia invade Syria they should be sanctioned by the UN because that move would not be legal. Let's see if the US and their western puppets are ready to sanction their best buddies. Didn't think so.
Let's hope Russia takes down erDOGan and the terrorist state of Saudi Arabia.
Those nations along with about 100 others (and the EU) recognize the National Coalition for Syria as the legitimate representative of Syria and no longer recognize Assad.

how many innocents have died since 2001, because of good old USA. how many innocents were tortured in Iraq, with out of controlled bullying, house to house invasions. I could go on all day about the west and there devilish ways
Saudi Arabian troops and military equipment have been transported to Turkey's Incirlik base, ahead of reports that both countries are planning an invasion of Syria. The countries intend to fight ISIS while also maintaining as a priority, the removal of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

I am not buying it.
Since both Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are predominately Sunni.
What they are going to do is join forces with ISIS since they are Sunni, and continue their civil war within Islam fighting the SHIA backers of Assad.
Saudi Arabia, and Iran need to stop screwing up other countries, and just go after each other directly.
he civil war in Syria, whose Alawite regime Saudi Arabia's Sunny monarchy has long plotted against, and the prospect of a war with Shiite Iran over its reported drive to acquire nuclear weapons, preoccupy Riyadh while, Abdallah, Canute-like, strives to keep the democratic wave from breaking on its shores.
