STEVE RAY HERE: After meeting with the Bishop of Jerusalem and talking to many people here in the Middle East I conclude that this bishop is absolutely correct.
The United States is on the wrong side of this conflict and Russia is on the right side. President Asad has always protected the Christians and toppling him only creates another vacuum for radicle Muslims to fill, backed by our tax dollars.
Only a few days ago I stood on the Syrian border and heard the US backed radical Muslims bombing the city from which Christians have fled and been killed.
“Archbishop in Syria Says Attempt at Removal of President Assad Will Only Worsen Situation”
Rome, October 02, 2015 (ZENIT.org)
Syrian Archbishop Jacques Behnan Hindo said he was “disturbed” of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s involvement in the Syrian conflict.
The prelate’s statement was in reaction to a statement made by Senator John McCain of Arizona.
“US Senator John McCain protested saying that the Russians are not bombing the positions of the Islamic State, but rather the anti-Assad rebels trained by the CIA. I find these words are disturbing. They represent a blatant admission that behind the war against Assad there is also the CIA.”
In an interview with Fides, Archbishop Hindo said that with Russian forces now engaging jihadist militias, “western propaganda” continues to “talk about moderate rebels who do not exist.”
“There is something very disturbing about all this: there is a superpower that since September 11 protests because the Russians hit the militias of al-Qaeda in Syria. What does it mean? Al-Qaeda is now a US ally, just because in Syria it has a different name? But do they really despise our intelligence and our memory?”, Archbishop Hindo said.
Archbishop Hindo also stressed that it is up to Syrians, not the so-called Islamic State or Western nations to decide if Bashir Al-Assad should go. However, he said that in the current conflict, removing Al-Assad will risk becoming another Libya.
“We have received terrible news from the city of Deir al Zor, which has been besieged by Daesh (Islamic State) for a long time. There is no more food in town, and the population is literally starving. We need to do something immediately, before it is too late”.

    “The United States is on the wrong side of this conflict and Russia is on the right side. President Asad has always protected the Christians and toppling him only creates another vacuum for radical Muslims to fill, backed by our tax dollars.”
    Russia is surprising the sane world by eliminating all Muslim terrorist groups.
    President Obama’s administration is sophisticated evil in action. Whatever is wrong, subversive, anti-Christian, anti-West, Obama unconditionally morally supports and aids. He was thoroughly brainwashed by the white Communist radicals (his mother and grandparents) in his life, and by the Islamic totalitarians (his father and stepfather’s roots) that filled his childhood.
    Hussein Obama likes do things “under the radar” as he acknowledges, in the shadows, where his type (the cowardly subversive) feels most comfortable. Any way he can hurt the Church or the Jews he will by using the IRS or the DOJ has his personal punisher.
    Evangelicals and Protestants have been slow to grasp the doctrine of Corpus Christi. The Orthodox knew it when they called out to the Pope to help them from the Muslim hordes 1000 years ago. Jesus said told the apostles to convert , “Baptizing in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, and in the name of the Holy Spirit” thus making the receiver — a son or daughter of God, and joined mystically with Him (Corpus Christi).
    And Jesus asked Saul why he was persecuting Him, NOT his followers which is important to note.
    Evangelicals don’t get the message that a Christian over there, is STILL a Christian and STILL our brother.
    When our Christian brethren fall in the Middle East, under Obama’s sins of commission and omission, I wholeheartedly wish and pray that calamity enters the Obama household because my blood boils for the losses and murder our brothers and sisters in Christ are experiencing at the hands of mindless, brainwashed, Islamist Muslims.
    That jackal will never learn respect for the people of God, but he needs to be stopped anyway.
    Let’s all pray to God he is stopped in whatever way God sees fit. All praise to God!
    Thanks Steve for noting what is really happening in Syria!!

    A tree is known by its fruit. Obama may not be THE antichrist, but he is anti-Christ. He proclaims to being a Christian but stands four square for all that is against Christ, standing for the killing of innocents in the whomb, those made in his image and likeness in the earliest stages of existence, and standing for the abomination of so called same sex marriage! We as a nation have been lead astray from our Christian roots as a nation by turning away from God and have turned and placed our hope in Obama, a very useful tool in the hand of Satan! Wake up America!

    Pope Francis went to Putin Early on they met in Vatican during RED LINE incident to help Christians. Thats when Putin started Building Naval base in Syria. Obama accepted Putin negotiated Identified and destruction of Chemical weapons. Bishop of Aleppo spoke at Knights of Columbus Supreme Convention almost in Tears about how he is surrounded By NUSRA (Al Qaeda), ISIS, Free Syrian Army and HezBollah (IRAN thru Lebanon) lives in a small convent. Obama after PAPAL visit is repatriating Christian (100-150) Syrian Refugees who left Jordan Refugee Camps who have Sponsors and Jobs but held in San Diego immigration Detention centers since Spring.
