Syrian Relations with the Iraqi Baath Party: Using the same fascist means in an extreme competition to rule over the Arab countries while claming the highest level of hater to the US and the West. Starting mid 90�s, the Syrian regime started smuggling Iraqi oil in violation of the United Nations' resolutions. This enabled Saddam Husein�s regime to survive longer and helped selling its oil for weapons that were used later against the US and the allied troops.
Saddam of Iraq vs Asad of Syria
The Twin-regimes of Terrorism
Saddam Housain, Ex-dictator of Iraq:
Officer Saddam Hussein seized power in 1979 leading the Baath Arab Party of Iraq.
Asad Family, Dictators of Syria
Officer Hafez Assad seized power in 1970 leading the Baath Arab Party of Syria.
Baath Totalitarian Regime in Iraq:
The Baath party gradually took over political and economical life in Iraq and became the only legal party in the country. Iraq is a republic by constitution, but the Socialist totalitarian regime was governing the nation.

The Baath party gradually took over political and economical life in Syria and became the only legal party in the country. Syria is a republic by constitution, but the Socialist totalitarian regime is governing the nation
Baath Rule of Iraq:
The opposition figures were persecuted, arrested, executed and even assassinated abroad. Iraq became a police-state ruled by fear and brutality.
The dictator of Iraq was running fake elections were he was �re-elected� as president with 99.99% of the votes for consecutive terms until he was overthrown in April 2003.
Baath Rule of Syria:
The opposition figures were persecuted, arrested, executed and even assassinated abroad. Syria became a police-state ruled by fear and brutality.
The dictator of Syria was running fake elections were he was �re-elected� as president with 99.99% of the votes for consecutive terms until he died in 2000. His son Bashar inherited his father�s position and policy in 2000 and started his own 99%-vote elections.
Iraqi Crimes against people of Iraq:
In addition to regular persecution, mass military operations were carried against Iraqis who oppose regime. In 1987 the baath regime killed thousands of Kurds in Northern Iraq using chemical weapons. In 1992 the regime massacred thousands of opposition Shaiis in Southern Iraq and thousands of Kurds in Northern Iraq destroying whole cities and villages.
Syrian Crimes against people of Syria:
In addition to regular persecution, mass military operations were carried against Syrians who oppose the regime. In 1980 the baath regime killed thousands of Syrians in Tadmor prisons and in the city of Hama. In 1982, the regime massacred more than thirty thousands of Syrians by completely destroying the city of Hama in full aerial and land attacks.
Occupying its small neighboring country of Kuwait:
Iraq is, roughly, 20 times larger than Kuwait
600 Kuwaitis believed to be killed in Iraqi prisons
On August 2, 1990, the Iraqi regime occupied its small neighboring country of Kuwait and appointed a puppet pro-Iraqi government there.
Hundreds of Kuwaitis civilians were killed or captured and spent their lives in Iraqi prisons until they died. The US and the International community lead a military coalition that liberated Kuwait on February 25, 1991.
Occupying its small neighboring country of Lebanon:
Syria is, roughly, 20 times larger than Lebanon
18,000 Lebanese believed to be killed in Syrian prisons
On October 13, 1990, the Syrian regime completely occupied its small neighboring country of Lebanon and appointed a puppet pro-Syrian government there.
Thousands of Lebanese civilians were killed or captured and spent their lives in Syrian prisons until they died. The US and the International community were busy with the Iraqi situation, which left Syria occupying Lebanon until this moment.
Iraqi Links to Terrorist Groups:
Uncertain relations to some terrorist groups, encouraged terrorist activities against the United States and West-European countries since 1990.
Syrian Links to Terrorist Groups:
Syria founded and sponsored several terrorist groups in self-occupied Lebanon and in Syria. Syrian sponsored groups carried several suicide attacks against Americans, West-Europeans and Lebanese since 1980�s killing hundreds. The Syrian regime has founded and sponsored terrorists that mastered hostage-taking and hijacking against American and West-European nationals and civil airplanes. Eleven terrorist groups listed in the US State Department use the Syrian capital as a headquarter.

This enabled Saddam Husein�s regime to survive longer and helped selling its oil for weapons that were used later against the US and the allied troops. During the war of liberating Iraq, the Syrian totalitarian regime feared being the next tyranny to fall and supported Saddam�s troops by sending arms and paying mercenaries to fight against the US and the allied troops. The Syrian Foreign Minister announced that it is �Syrian national interest for the Allied troops to be defeated�
Iraq Misleading media
Mohammed al-Sahhaf
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, the information minister of Saddam�s regime gave a descriptive example of the ways in which totalitarian regimes deceive the international community. His rhetoric speeches during the war claming false victory and claiming the support of Iraqis for Suddam were ridiculed by the actual events. Later, the world saw the real face of Saddam�s Regime �deceiving but nicely- phrased lies.�
Syria Misleading media
Farouk Sharaa
The Syrian totalitarian regime keeps deceiving the world with rhetoric speeches about their kindness and proclaimed popularity. Nowadays, some governments in the free world still listen to the Sahhafs of Asad�s regime, such as Foreign Minister Farouk Sharaa and the director of the foreign media department Buthina Shabaan. The Syrians are awaiting the fall of their dictatorship to show the world how much it was deceived by some nicely-phrased lies.
Statue of Saddam
After the collapse of Saddam�s regime, the Iraqi people celebrated the dictator�s overthrown by destroying his numerous statues that were placed in every corner, and were guarded by the secrete service security.
Statue of Assad
Awaiting the collapse of Asad�s regime, the Syrians dare not but pay respect to his numerous statues that are placed in every corner, and guarded by the secrete service security. The statues of the Syrian dictator in Syria outnumbers those of Saddam�s in Iraq.
SYRIA NEEDS NUKES!

This is just one of numerous anti-Syrian SPAM-like posts in the last few weeks that these guys have put on almost all of the INDYMEDIA sites, running right wing pro imperialist propaganda. Some of these guys posts even have links to a Syrian expatriate outfit that is openly calling for a US invasion of Syria.
These Lebanese Christian Phalangist fascist exiles and so-called "Syrian Reform Party" guys ALL stink of CIA and Mossad and here is my answer to these slick scumbags:
SYRIA NEEDS NUKES - THE MORE THE BETTER!
This is to defend itself against it's enemies and I say any anti-imperialist or real Arab would support Syria loading up on as many weapons it can get it's hands on, Nukes included! The more the Better!!
You know, the folks who have been writing these posts sure don't sound like Arabs and are probably all a bunch of CIA and Mossad employees. I wouldn't be surprised if their whole organizations are CIA fronts, especially the so-called "Reform Party of Syria", whose members virtually all reside in the U.S.
The proof that they are not genuinely Arab-run organizations are that their Web-sites are virtually always silent on Israeli crimes and Zionism and obsessively place sole blame on the Syrians and Palestinians for all of the tensions in the Middle East, which no normal Arab would do, pro-Syrian or not, so it makes you wonder.
The sites linked to these posts are also actively encouraging and inviting an American Imperialist invasion of Syria, which no self-respecting Arab would do, no matter how they feel about an Arab country's government.
Syria is doing quite well and needs no "liberating" by the US and by opportunists like these folks. Women are relatively free in Syria,(particularly compared to the US allies like Saudi Arabia, where women are slaves, or Egypt, where most women have their clitoris cut off). In Syria the Religious nuts are kept in their place and Jews, Christians and other minorities are not harassed. Also, many big industries in Syria are public property, most people are doing ok economically and making money, and the Country has it's Dignity intact, (unlike the Whores who run Jordan, Egypt and the other countries who are on their knees groveling before the Warlords of Washington, the Zionists and the Capitalists of the West).
These Opportunist Parasites are hoping that the Americans will invade Syria, dropping bombs and murdering thousands of more Arabs, and they dream of riding into Damascus on the back of American tanks and getting to be the American and Israeli Puppet Government of Syria, (like Chalabi in Iraq), but that ain't gonna happen, as Syria is smart politically and also has the ability to fight back militarily.
A final note! The Iraqi people are bumping off the Iraqi US puppet Quislings one at a time and they will someday hang Chalabi and the rest of the US Puppet government by their intestines from light poles! (Iraqi phoney Revisionist Communist Party leaders included - as they have also sold out and joined the puppet council) In Afghanistan the US puppet Karzai has to go around with a personal detachment of US military guarding his ass just to keep that US "water-boy" from getting killed.
This is a just fate that also awaits any Lebanese or Syrian Arab Americans who think they can slime their way into power in the Arab countries on American coat-tails! The Lebanese and Syrian people's lives are today more stable and safer than they have been in decades and their is virtually no support inside either Lebanon or Syria for these phony "reform" movements, and even the Maronite Church has denounced the so-called "Syrian Accountability Act", enacted into law by pro-Israeli U.S. zionist Democrats. (By the way, who the fuck does the United States Government think it is to talk about holding Syria "accountable" for anything). It is US imperialism that has invaded more Countries than Hitler in the last 50 years and which has invaded two countries in just the last two years alone. The US has invaded Haiti, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, bombed Somalia and Lebanon, and mined Nicaragua's harbors in just the last twenty years alone. The Syrian government looks like a bunch of Boy Scouts next to the Warlords of Washington! It is the U.S. Ruling Class that is feared and hated by the majority of the World's people and it is the US ruling Class that will be someday be held accountable by the people of the world for it's War Crimes against the above victim countries.
(One final note, most of these Lebanese fascist SPAM-ers haven't even been in an Arab country for most of their lives and would need a tour-guide to find their way around the streets of Beirut)!

Oh I can hardly wait. With each one of those "Oh yes, I am happy that they got Saddam, but the real issue is that the US does not belong there at all and the Arab people really want us to quit meddling" mealy mouthed rants, the Left loose more credibility. Howard Dean will be most entertaining as he describes how "Now that we have Saddam we should leave Iraq post haste", as if the creation of a safe and democratic Iraq isn't a process. Yes we shoudl leave those ignorant arab bastards behind to be another Mogadishu, because like all minority=ies and people of any different culture that is not widely represented in the American electorate, teh Dems don't give a shit about them. Let them fall into chaos and disarray. THe real message that the Dems are delivering with that foolish dribble is that America should leave Real Fast before the Republican Administration has any more success. The Dems have wanted, and still want, to see the quagmire that they dream about.
First the stock market rebounds resoundlingly, the economy turns the corner thanks to the Bush tax and economic policies, and now Saddam is in the pokey. THere will be a whole lot of whining and crying over at DU and KickingAss.com this week.
