Repeat: “the moment Assad rejected the Qatari pipeline”, he signed his own death warrant. That single act was the catalyst for the US aggression that transformed a bustling, five thousand-year old civilization into a desolate Falluja-like moonscape overflowing with homicidal fanatics that were recruited, groomed and deployed by the various allied intelligence agencies.
The war in Syria did not begin when the government of Bashar al Assad cracked down on protestors in the spring of 2011. That version of events is obfuscating hogwash. The war began in 2009, when Assad rejected a Qatari plan to transport gas from Qatar to the EU via Syria. As Robert F Kennedy Jr. explains in his excellent article “Syria: Another pipeline War”:
The $10 billion, 1,500km pipeline through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Turkey….would have linked Qatar directly to European energy markets via distribution terminals in Turkey… The Qatar/Turkey pipeline would have given the Sunni Kingdoms of the Persian Gulf decisive domination of world natural gas markets and strengthen Qatar, America’s closest ally in the Arab world. ….
In 2009, Assad announced that he would refuse to sign the agreement to allow the pipeline to run through Syria “to protect the interests of our Russian ally….
Assad further enraged the Gulf’s Sunni monarchs by endorsing a Russian approved “Islamic pipeline” running from Iran’s side of the gas field through Syria and to the ports of Lebanon. The Islamic pipeline would make Shia Iran instead of Sunni Qatar, the principal supplier to the European energy market and dramatically increase Tehran’s influence in the Mid-East and the world…

The country of Syria was murdered by some crazy religious maniacs and greedy oil sheiks from the Gulf States: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Israel, NATO, Turkey and the biggest culprit the US of America led by the Nobel prize winner Barack Obama.

Wouldn't that mean the thread should be titled "Obama" (and his henchmen/henchwomen), not "America"?

You might be right. Assad if he knew what they would do might indeed have just went along with the fascists pipeline but that’s water over the bridge at this point.
The pipeline would be a competitor to the Nabucco pipeline from Azerbaijan to Europe.[1] It is also an alternative to the Qatar-Turkey pipeline which had been proposed by Qatar to run from Qatar to Europe via Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Turkey.[14] Syria's rationale for rejecting the Qatar proposal was said to be "to protect the interests of [its] Russian ally, which is Europe's top supplier of natural gas."

And remember Syria signed up for Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline
And Russia's interest is to prevent ANY pipeline from the Middle East to Europe.

Russia didn’t fund religious maniacs to destroy the country as far as I know.

No because the American empire transcends Obama’s administration.
I imagine you forgot the invasion of Iraq by Bush’s administration
Your partisan politics is transparent and unintelligent

and other related catastrophes all because Assad rejected a pipeline through his country.
from what I understand, the source cited here are passionately anti-american, and anti-semite. I am not saying dont read it, just when reading stuff, try to understand their agenda.
