Why Don't We Just Assassinate Assad?

[TheLAKid]

We can just deny it and blame somebody else. Yeah, Russia will be pissed off but who fukkin cares?

Then what? How does removing Assad immediately help the situation?

Sounds like the same situation that happened in Libya.

This is the sort of provocative reasoning I come to this forum for. There is logical, and then there is second level, and tertiary level reasoning. Thank you for your suggestion.

By removing assad and undercutting Russia's gas market, theres a major risk of total war.

because isis are providing the gulf with illegally seized oil? Because isis is the only threat in the region that can wipe out assad and the world can just shrug. Because isis is willing to join forces and cooperate with al nusra/fsa against assad. Because this is why we funded, trained and accidentally supplied what is now isis.

Back to the original question, im interested as to why you think assassination will help the situation?

The Assad regime is fighting to keep him in power. If Assad is dead what is there to fight for? Also a power vacuum opens that will lead to internal dissent. It's not like Al Qaeda where there's a next in line. Assad has no immediate successor. Also, you cut the head off the snake to stop it. Killing the leader also lowers morale and causes confusion
