He is the terrorist for bombing children, elderly, and others who are not involved with the war. Plus, he used chemicals on his own people.

Ok but is he lying on this? If not how is that vetting working out?

I seem to remember a saying about a clock and being right--or something like that.

There's no way he used chemical weapons on his own people. Obama said that would be a red line not to be crossed.

He knows they are terrorists because he released them from his prisons, killed their families, and expelled what was left from his country. Besides, by "terrorist", he means Sunni (and anyone else that he is ethnically cleansing from his country).

The word "terrorist" is meaningless in most context, even in its use in our country... when it's used abroad in a case like this, it's just an appeal the moral high ground among those with no regard for human rights or dignity.

Water is wet.
Don't remember anyone saying none of them were.

Assad is better than the alternative. How many times does this same shiit need to happen before y'all learn that?

I have an idea: these people that were deported after serving time in Syrian prisons... let's bring them here! They can live in your neighborhood with the rapists Mexico is sending!

This guy has a British wife and is a doctor. He is definitely not a good dude but is he truly the monster the media is making him out to be? I would be interested in learning more because watching his interview and reading the Yahoo news report it seems as if he is trying to get the message out that this chaos is the fault of Islamic radicals who have been fighting him

If you had the blood of nearly 500,000 people on your hands, wouldn't you want to have someone to blame? Of course it's someone else's fault and not his.

Do you believe the words from Saudi Arabia's leaders claiming the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group? None of the leaders before the Muslim Brotherhood took over did nothing to stop the ISIS people in the Sinai area from bombing Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood as the Egypt's leader took out many of that terrorist cells that Israeli leaders praised him for. He even got Hamas to stop attacking Israel. Saudi Arabia got involved in the coup of Egypt, and removed him, and the ISIS cell took down a Russia plane, and also attacking Israel and Hamas. That is why I think Israel and Hamas should join forces to go after ISIS.

First off, there is no ideological difference between HAMAS, ISIS, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

You refer to Egypt's prior leaders. Anwar Sadat did not stop Islamists in the Sinai... he was actually killed by Islamists for making peace with Israel. Specifically, he was killed by the Muslim Brotherhood... the predecessor to both HAMAS and al Qaeda, and later ISIS. Hosni Mubarrak took over after Sadat's death, and repressed the Muslim Brotherhood for many years, and worked with Israel (to varying degrees) to keep weapons from going to HAMAS from the Sinai. There were no substantial attacks on Israel coming from the Sinai.

Israel would rather leave ISIS to fight against various Arab regimes ... it is the one party with a stake in all of this mess that seems to understand the idea that when your enemies are fighting one another, it is best to get out of the way.

I am totally bewildered by the idea that you think HAMAS has a stake in fighting ISIS. They have absolutely no ability to project power outside of the areas they control (to date, that is only Gaza, but they may well get control of the West Bank). They are militarily weak with little fighting experience, and are only able to present a significant threat to Israeli civilians on a sporadic basis.
