History
Syria is a country in Southwest Asia, bordering Lebanon, the Mediterranean Sea and the island of Cyprus to the west, Israel to the southwest, Jordan to the south, Iraq to the east, and Turkey to the north. The modern state of Syria was formerly a French mandate and attained independence in 1946, but can trace its roots to the fourth millennium BC. Its capital city, Damascus, was the seat of the Umayyad Empire and a provincial capital of the Mamluk Empire. Since 1963, the country has been governed by the Baath Party; the head of state since 1970 has been a member of the Assad family. Syria's current President is Bashar al-Assad, son of Hafez al-Assad, who held office from 1970 until his death in 2000.
After 9/11, the United States and Israel has been planning to invade the Middle East to overthrow governments. First Iraq, then Syria, and several more. In 2013, mercenaries hired by the US and Israel began launching chemical weapon attacks in Syria and the Jewish-controlled Western media only reported the war propaganda that it was Syria doing it, which was the excuse for invasion. These "private contracters" have publically admitted they were the ones who used the chemical weapons.[1] The operation was titled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm".[2]
