Republicans may be divided on how to handle the crisis in Syria, but the president of their favorite news network has made it clear he’s 100% in favor of toppling the Assad regime — though he has a somewhat unorthodox plan to get it done.

In Zev Chafets’ 2012 book Roger Ailes Off Camera the president of Fox News is quoted saying if if he was in the Oval Office he would “open a new front” in Syria, and that he’d use use flattery and the promise of international prestige to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to join the intervention.

From Ailes’ comments in the book:


“Putin is angry. He thinks the United States doesn’t take him seriously or treat Russia as a major player. Okay, fine, that’s how he feels. If I were president, I’d get in a room with him and say, ‘Look at the slaughter going on in Syria. You can stop it. Do it, and I’ll see to it that you can get all the credit. I’ll tell the world it was you who saved the innocent children of Syria from slaughter. You’ll be an international hero. You’ll go down in history.’ Hell, Putin would go to bed thinking, ‘That’s not a bad offer.’ There will still be plenty of other issues I’d have with Russia. But instead of looking for one huge deal that settles everything, you take a piece of the problem and solve it. Give an incentive for good behavior. Show the other guy his self-interest. Everybody has an ego. Everybody needs dignity. And what does it cost? You get what you want you give up nothing.”

Who, or which side, is doing the slaughtering in Syria? Before the "arab spring. how much slaughtering was going on? How much slaughtering will go on, if Assad is no longer in power?

Why is the goal to promote unrest and overthrow Assad?

U.S. military confirms rebels had sarin

However, in a classified document just obtained by WND, the U.S. military confirms that sarin was confiscated earlier this year from members of the Jabhat al-Nusra Front, the most influential of the rebel Islamists fighting in Syria.


The document says sarin from al-Qaida in Iraq made its way into Turkey and that while some was seized, more could have been used in an attack last March on civilians and Syrian military soldiers in Aleppo.

The document, classified Secret/Noforn – “Not for foreign distribution” – came from the U.S. intelligence community’s National Ground Intelligence Center, or NGIC, and was made available to WND Tuesday.

I understand that not everything is for the world to know regarding our security and such. But from all the leaks that have occurred, it sure seems fuzzy why we have so much information that isn't released or is kept confidential when it has nothing to do with the US.

Why is this not for foreign distribution?

Who really deserves the credit for this answer of getting rid of the chemical weapons?
Remember just a week ago 100,000 people gathered in Rome, and among them many of different faiths, and God only knows how many joined them in some form at home.

Lets not forget the power of God or the power of prayer.


I doubt if Putin, Obama, or Assad will give God credit.
