IN A DICTATORSHIP LIKE SYRIA THE UNDEMOCRATIC REGIME LIES VERY OFTEN TO IT''S PEOPLE, TO TRY TO STAY IN POWER IN WHAT EVER WAY. IN THIS CASE ISRAEL IS AN EXAMPLE TO SYRIA AND ANY OTHER DICTATORSHIP, TO HAVE A HUMAN SYSTEM.

you could not even defeat the islamic state without help from outsiders.

They caught Israel off guard and gave the IDF a run for their money but in the end Israel won which is why Assad is still whining about liberation of the Golan instead of giving this little speech from the top Mount Hermon looking down at Israel.
Mr Assad you should consider a career change from butcher to stand up comic because your very good at it

Hmm, Assad has killed or maimed over 500,000 of his own people in his effort to remain in power at all costs. He single-handedly made a few million people refugees. He's gassed his own people!

How does he celebrate his 'greatness?' By claiming victory in 1973!

Is there no sane person in Syria who will stand up to a madman? With Russia and Iran playing footsie with Assad, I can't tell which psychopath is really pulling the strings! Is Putin stroking Assad? Iran? A threesome always causes trouble. In any case, this sham celebration is only to deflect the utter misery the Syrian people live in, courtesy of their president. I think Assad is quite well onto realizing that a country devoid of people is easier to manage.

Where is the World Court? Why haven't they arrested him for crimes against humanity?

I wonder what Assad's wife says to him after a hard day at the office?

"Hi honey! How many people did you order killed today? Wonderful! Didn't forget to confiscate their property, did you? You know you forgot last time! You have 10 minutes until supper. Kobi Beef tonight! Your favorite! And I flew in your favorite Japanese chef to prepare it for us! Can you ask the Iranians for a few million dollars from the Obama cache? I want to redecorate the indoor pool. The dolphins don't seem happy. See you in a few! And don't let me catch you with Hadija in the sauna again! Love you!"

Those Syrians really know how to live!

Lord, what state of lyin' BS the Arabs work themselves into.

The world remembers only the Arab states launching a no. of wars in which they wound up having the living X knocked out of their armies.

You can always tell a dysfunctional repressive totalitarian society. They lie to their people, the people lie to themselves, and everyone blames the Jews for their own failure, dysfunction and barbarity. Same as it ever was.
