  1. Am I supposed to think “this is an obvious power grab to instate himself as the leader of a theocracy and have absolute power” or “this is a way to legally establish a probably necessary Interim government for the amount of time considered necessary to stabilise the territory until it can feasibly function and have fair elections “?

    Because it’s the third headline i see today and the tones shift all over the place.

    I’m gonna choose number 2 for peace of mind.

  2. The most American Media headline to ever American Media. 

    There’s no guarantee Syria won’t slide into a theocratic hellscape but Jesus H Christ Allah Buddha this headline is just so brazen in its slant, even for CNN. 

  3. So Al qeada get a win after all….and all they had to do was change their names.

    We’ve seen horrific attempted genocide…

    It reminded me of Rwanda when there were videos of mosques calling for people to kill alawites…

    And when yiu have hts people saying….

    Baniyas was half sunni half Shia…today its half sunni half dead.

    This is jolani.

    15 years ago a reaper drone would have killed him and we’d have all cheered….today we ignore his past…

  4. This hypocrisy is why fewer and fewer people believe the west. Massacre of minorities isn’t important, this guy just gets whitewashed. 5 years to kill off Syrian Alawites and Christians. Good plan
