Sure.... Old tactics reused....
March 1949 Syrian coup d'état - Wikipedia
Macmillan backed Syria assassination plot
The plan called for funding of a “Free Syria Committee” [hmmm … sounds vaguely familiar], and the arming of “political factions with paramilitary or other actionist capabilities” within Syria. The CIA and MI6 would instigate internal uprisings, for instance by the Druze [a Shia Muslim sect] in the south, help to free political prisoners held in the Mezze prison, and stir up the Muslim Brotherhood in Damascus.
The "preferred plan"adds: "Once a political decision is reached to proceed with internal disturbances in Syria, CIA is prepared, and SIS [MI6] will attempt, to mount minor sabotage and coup de main incidents within Syria, working through contacts with individuals.
The planners envisaged replacing the Ba'ath/Communist regime with one that was firmly anti-Soviet, but they conceded that this would not be popular and "would probably need to rely first upon repressive measures and arbitrary exercise of power".

The Redirection
To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coöperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

Unleash Shabiha goons to rape and kill civilians and claim youre defending your country bruhs
Hmmmm when did the Arab Spring begin? Bombs are bombs.... Them being certain types dont make them anymore worse.Forgot about this post. So essentially all the protesters were CIA agitators? Why did the CIA wait until 2011 to do regime change? Perhaps Arabs were tired of dictators ruling for decades on end
Coups in 1949 are proof of. . .?
Also I see that you haven't attempted to defend Assad's use of Barrel bombs.
But I guess this is fake news because it's not reported by RT
Posters fell for the okie doke for real. Both sides are brutal but one side has an 'islamic'' flavour while the other claims to be secular. Both kill civilians indiscriminately and carry out human rights abuses.
This is the most accurate depiction of the entire crisis
OK, so prove that the hundreds of thousands of people he killed are hired mercenaries and not innocent civilians. You castigate him for "speaking with certainty" but then present an alternative reality with zero proof.
