The Battle of Aleppo came to a close Tuesday as the final rebel-held areas in the city fell to pro-government, Russian and Iranian-backed forces.
But the human rights horrors and tragedies that occurred in the bloodiest battle of Syria’s civil war are just starting to come out – and the bloodshed is the fault of President Barack Obama’s failed foreign policy.
Syria’s anti-government rebel forces are facing final defeat by Iranian and Russian-backed forces of brutal Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, and reports are streaming out of that the leash has been let off the strongman’s forces.
In the collapsing areas previously held by rebel forces, stories of the brutal treatment of civilians are starting to filter out through social media.
Thousands of innocent people remain trapped in rebel-held neighborhoods, and they are begging the world for help… because they know what’s in store for them.
According to humanitarian groups, children are being burned to death and women are committing suicide to avoid rape — tragedies that should have been prevented if Obama had an effective foreign policy.
Instead, months of White House hand-wringing and indecisiveness let the Syrian civil war spiral out of control. It opened a window for ISIS to be born, and the Obama administration watched as these Islamic terrorists destroyed the years of progress and stability hard earned by U.S. forces in the region under President George W. Bush.
Additionally, Obama’s ineffectual leadership and unclear foreign policy allowed Russian President Vladimir Putin and his ally Iran to gain a critical foothold throughout the region.
The tragedy in Aleppo is on Obama’s shoulders. He should know that when he has to look at himself in the mirror every morning – the trail of blood, rape, and the burning alive of innocent civilians is because of him.
In an effort to cover his legacy from the scars left by ISIS’ bloody jihad, Obama was consistently complacent with Assad and Putin while the two vicious dictators desecrated a nation. Their pro-government forces bombed hospitals, aid convoys, civilian homes, and shops at will.
Both Putin and Assad have clearly lied to Obama in the past about their intent to fight ISIS in Syria, and when their lies were proven, Obama failed to act.
In 2012, Obama warned Assad that if he were to use chemical weapons against his people, America would be forced to intervene. Following that speech, Assad used chemical weapons on multiple occasions, slaughtering mass amounts of civilians, and Obama did nothing.
In 2015, Russian officials were dropping airstrikes across Syria in an alleged attempt to take out ISIS, but barely any of their airstrikes actually targeted ISIS. Instead, Putin was dropping bombs on increasing amounts of innocent civilians, embolden by America’s non-response.
Obama’s anti-Colonialist attitude committed America early on to avoid intervention, something likely unfathomable to his predecessors.
He proved he is a spineless coward too afraid to intervene in what has been one of the worst cases of mass carnage the world has ever seen.
In the final days of the battle, horrific reports of bloodshed and clear human rights violations have flooded in from multiple sources.
The United Nations reported, “Syrian troops or allied Iraqi militias were gunning down families in apartments and on the streets, with the toll reaching 82 civilians,” according to The New York Times.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault described the scene to the Times as, “coldblooded murders of entire families on the ground who were deemed close to the opposition; summary executions, including women and children; people burned alive in their homes; the continuation of systematic targeting of hospitals, their staff and their patients,” according to Breitbart.
The Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations released images of dead children lined up in the street, who were reportedly killed in a chemical weapons attack in which an odorless, colorless gas was released during airstrikes. The charity reported 93 deceased and more than 300 injured, according to the Daily Mail.
The blood of Aleppo’s women and children is on Obama’s hands, whether he wants to admit it or not.
Even the Obama administration recognized the “depraved tactics” of Assad in a White House press conference, but defended the president’s lack of response.
Press Secretary Josh Earnest spoke to reporters Wednesday, condemning the horrific acts in Aleppo and Russia for continuing to offer its support. He claimed the administration is “deeply concerned” about the disgusting military tactics of the pro-government forces “aided and abetted by the Russians and Iranians.”
The powers in Syria had agreed to a cease-fire on Tuesday, which predictably fell apart by Wednesday, similar to cease-fires in the past. Earnest touted the amount of aid Obama has provided to the nation, ignoring the fact that these people needed help for years beforehand.
The slaughter in Aleppo was totally avoidable, but totally predictable.
Obama has had the opportunity to intervene in the mass civilian casualties since 2011, but has stood by as the death toll has grown.
His lack of authority allowed Russian and Iranian-backed forces to take over an entire region, slaughtering women and burning children alive. His complacency is horrific, weak, and the opposite of what America as a nation stands for.
It’s time takes responsibility for the lives lost on his hands.
Predictably, he won’t.
–The Horn News Editorial Team
Are you for real. When did Horn start supporting the NWO? Who started this mess? Who emboldened the ISIS? Obama and his NWO people. This was orchestrated the same as with Libya, Egypt and Iran for not allowing the banking cartel to govern their finances. Where has the outrage been with all the Christians being brutally killed and hunted down by the poor(sic) rebels? Remember the weapons of mass destruction? Genocide is the theme. Assad a brutal dictator? No more than our very own Obama droning Americans.
By the way, ISIS is not about a religion or ideology. They are no different than any other group that kills innocent civilians in Africa and the Middle East, they are hired guns to keep areas of the world under chaos. Castro-Obama, need I say more?
Good for Assad in stopping this madness.
Couldn’t agree more!
Amen.. just hope Trump makes it into the whitehouse..
Obama and Kerry are making things worse everyday to make every country including the US. They want Trump to declare War to clean this up. Obama and Hillary want to say I told you so wh press sec Ernest in the biggest liar and he’s spreading lies about Trump word the the liberal media is manipulating the pubic.
I think the majority of us are way smarter than that. We don’t listen to or believe the MSM, and the same goes for Josh Earnest (his last name is the antithesis of his very being).
What happened to the “Red line” Obama famously talked about ? Assad has not to use genocide with chemicals at all or force would be used against Assad. Did not Kerry proclaim in March of 2014 “all of Assad’s chemical weapons where destroyed ? Assad just bought more from Russia and produced more chemicals weapons. Jim
You obviously get get your news from the lamestream media, a.k.a. FAKE NEWS!
You would believe Obama, Kerrry and Kilary? Where is the logic as they are all liars and after power and money.
Jim-
i think i’m going to have to agree with DRD5508. This whole article has the stench of bovine excreta, as it mirrors the narrative promulgated by CIA spooks who lie for a living.
Alex Jones – among others – has photographs of the alleged “friendly” rebels with the identifiable mortar shells used to launch the poison gas that Assad got blamed for, in yet another false-flag op.
Most people who are not brainwashed idiots are now completely aware that D’OweBama and his minions, esp. incl. The Liar, were instrumental in giving aid and comfort to known and self-declared enemies of the United States, providing them with training, ammunition, arms, vehicles, ordinance, money – even food and drink! How did they get this to them? Via CIA channels, of course. A fella i’m aware of found smoking-gun proof of this, so he was set up and jailed for some bullshit charge. Can get anyone the link, if they’re interested. He’s got an interesting story to tell, one that blows this “The Horn” article to smithereens.
Apparently, they were following the long-planned strategies of the PNAC crowd, probably to further destabilize the region and complete their goals of destroying multiple countries in the ME, including Libya, Somalia, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, the UAR and probably a few others i’ve forgotten to name; the only one they did NOT get into in any significant way was Iran – but these NWO/OWG/globalist creeps certainly WANTED to! Remember Songbird McCain thinking it’s a funny joke to sing “Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb Iran”?(To the tune of the Beach Boy’s “Barbara Ann.”) He’s such a sellout jackass, transparently in the pockets of the NWO/OWG goons.
But what would one expect of a website controlled by a former head guy of the CIA agent George HW Bush’s “Thousand Points of Light” Foundation? Does anyone with a couple of dendrites to rub together really believe that the guy who was in Bush’s employ – a KNOWN agent, sycophant, and toady of the NWO – would NOT be on-board with the CIA’s agenda?
Assad is committing genocide and the world is wringing its hands saying “Please stop killing your own people.” If you think Obama is any way responsible then you are deluded. If the U.N. had any authority at all, the rest of the world’s powers would be asking us to help them stop Assad rather than focusing on their economies while he murders civilians. We stepped into the fray in Bosnia but way too late. Here we are waiting to see if anyone else will do something before we commit.
What about Barack Hussein Obama’s RED LINE if Assad crossed that line America would be forced to intervene. And Absolutely nothing was DONE, so Obama the Blowhard should be held accountable for what is going on in Aleppo. Oblowhard is a coward, UN FIT to be the Commander-in-Chief of these United States of America. You are the one that is deluded, If you think Barack Hussein Obama the Blowhard, better think again..
Not only is Obama a coward, but time and time again, he has been placed in the company of the Muslim Brotherhood (a world Islamic terrorist organization) and as we’ve also heard (but the lamestream and lying media of his), hasn’t picked up on the fact that Russia has stated over and over again that it is NOT RUSSIA THAT IS BOMBING ALEPPO AND KILLING FAMILIES THERE-IT IS THE OBAMA-BACKED REBELS,(otherwise known as ISIS), WHO ARE DOING THIS! This is EXACTLY ISIS SIGNATURE IN HOW IT KILLS INNOCENT VICTIMS! ISIS FLAGS WERE ALL OVER EASTERN ALEPPO and yet the NWO, very deceptive mainstream MEDIA, has CHOSEN TO IGNORE THIS FACT! Obama does have the deaths of now (perhaps millions of innocent people), on his hands and couldn’t care less; so long as he leaves the WH with an 18% raise he wants for himself in pension and he lives with his family in their new mansion in California with a golf course on it for his self-gratification. He needs to be cited for “Crimes Against Humanity” and for treason too, against the people of the United States of America! Thanks to Obama, we have continuous bloodshed and devastation in the Middle East, unrest in the USA and dozens of other horrific things that he will always be known for as well as the fact that he got away with murder!
OracleGuy – the problem rests on the shoulders of your administration with O’bozo the “Big Eared” Clown, John Ole’ Hachet Face” Kerry & Hillary the “Hun” who have ignored the problem for years including Iran and you have the gall to say anyone who otherwise is delusional. You are truly as f _ _ _ _ up as your idols – dipshit.
My comment will not be modified – OracleGuy is as stupid as anyone who exists on this planet. Maybe we’ll be lucky and when O’bozo the “Big Eared” Clown exits stage left we’ll never to endure or be subject to his bullshit posts and comments again.
You got it right. We should have never gotten involved in Syria.
Obama is one sick sonofabitch literally that needs to disappear from the great USA and never to return. I hope the coward leaves forever after he is out of office and not heard from again.
Spot on , who supplied the moderates ( 3rd force) = USA and UK ( love the Saudi deals)
Back Putin and end terrorism
Trump and Putin (not the enemy) are the way forward to end terrorism , end NWO and the forced Globalisation .
MSM propagate absolute bull shit on both.
Period.
Hillary and the administration told us that “Arab Spring” was the greatest thing ever. Barbarity, genocide and a severe persecution of Christians is today’s Middle East reality. Then we read about UN Ambassador Samantha Powers complaining about the Syrian situation. A situation that her bosses created.
Assad is right to try to protect his citizens. The so-called freedom fighters are paid by the U.S. and Saudia Arabia and they are the ones killing, raping women and children and burning and crucifying christians and others. We need to be supporting the government of Syria not these terrorist.
NO, we do not need to Support the Syria government. we need to stop supporting the SO-CALLED freedom fighter. Obamass and Killary are the sole owners of this hole mess. By the way, Wear did all this money and arms come from they sent to support the freedom fighters in the first place? Must be more of our tax money we don’t know about going out as a slush fun. Was it out of our SSI that keeps shrinking from us that has paid into that the government keeps stilling form us. What ever ! Just glad they are both gone finally.
Were you listening when it was reported that $6B went missing from the State Dept. alone during Hillary’s tenure? Where did all that disappear to? Duh!
It was the CIA that used chemical weapons on Syrians! I can’t believe that now Horn News is just another source of FAKE news.
It was the CIA that started this whole bullshit! They went into Syria to destabilize the government because Assad was not playing ball with the NWO!
Whoever wrote this garbage is either the stupidest journalist alive or you’re willfully and blatantly lying!
Don’t fall for the U.S. propaganda that Assad and Russia are aiding ISIS. Friends from Syria have stated that Assad is a great friend of the Christians, supporting and attending many of their events/celebrations/holidays. Putin asked Obama to join the effort to eliminate ISIS but was turned down. The whole issue in our refusal to join, is over oil and a pipeline that will be passing through Syria. We desire one route while Russia seeks another. These are the facts if one does his research into the truth.
To the President you are the Best President ever for killing people and the American way of life.
That’s first generation African roots.It is the result of ignorance.
Oracle Guy: Was it you who wrote this “fake news story” on Syria?
It sure reads like the other lying liberal nonsense you write.\
So much for Horn News credibility.
I read yesterday this news (cough) is just a lie being put out to the west and e.u. to stir us up!!!!!!!!!Why do the news people in our country want to be a part of this un-american act??The horn and anyone else doing this should be ashamed of them selves!!! If this is the best ya’ll can do i for one will drop you like a hot rock!!!!!!!
Hows the liberation of Mosul going? Any civilian casualties? Any END in sight? Any media coverage?
Horn News has gone FAKE NEWS! The Assad Gov used chemical warfare on its own people??!! What an absurdity!! I’m unsubscribing immediately!
Obama has had a highly effective foreign policy in the Middle East, but it is not what you think it is. His Middle East foreign policy has been to protect Israeli imperialism by creating turmoil among the Muslims and keep them fighting among themselves so that they will not present a united front against Israel.
That has to be one of the most “creative” theories I’ve ever heard.
Obama is a Muslim himself, according to numerous sources,and confirmed by many of his own behaviors.
As a Muslim, supporting Israel would be tantamount to a death sentence. And he’s far too arrogant and narcissistic to be interested in committing suicide.
“numerous sources”? Only one source is beyond dispute and that is BHO himself. “This Week” with George Stephanopolis. Sept. 7, 2008. Limbaugh played the audio within the past year.
It is beginning to read like the Democrats still think they can overturn Trumps, winning the election, by attacking, in mass, the conservative media outlets. The dems have to be given points for not giving up. There is so much going on behind the scenes, on the Republican side, that the Dems cannot or will not comprehend. It is the very reason they lost the election in the first place.
Also, Assad pulls his horns in more and more the closer Trump gets to be president. Kerry is all over the situation like a wet blanket, trying to redeem himself and Obama is trying to get out as graciously as he can.
It may be creative, but that is in effect what is happening. The Muslims are fighting among themselves, and as long as they do, they are much less a threat to Israel than when they are united. Moreover, Israel is represented in Congress by 100 Senators and at least 425 Representatives — not to mention its influence over MSM and most alternative media. Thus, if Obama did much opposed by Israel, he would be quickly removed from office.
Obama doesn’t listen to his advisors. He has a mind of his own and that is to destroy our way of life in America.. These nations are in chaos because they turn their back on the true God and so is America because “We The People” have allowed ungodly forces to reign in this country. Who and what do they support? Gay rights, and transgenders along with the murder of hundreds of innocent babies daily by abortion. Obama always chooses the bad guys because he’s a bad guy…….. I pray to God that Trump will not be overturned as president elect and he will immediately clean the Washington Swamp of the ill leaders and wrong decision makers.. America can no longer carry the world. We have to make Her great again. God bless those that have lost their lives, it’s a horrible situation Syria.. If our leaders are to blame, then they should be imprisioned. Kerry is a crooked idiot. He should never be allowed to advise anyone. America needs to clean up Her own country, We have sunk into the most ungodly evil a nation by our Christian rights being taken from us. First God was removed from the schools, then the court houses, Crosses being remove that have been this nation crutch for thousands of years, and so much more. Christmas became just a holiday. Just look around you.. We need to come back to our roots.. Most people have no idea what they are.. .. God will not continue to bless America if her people do not turn to Him for help…
God forbid he’d accept any of the responsibility for anything created and ignored on his watch – weasel that he i.
Let’s remember to attach Obama’s name to any disgusting thing that he is responsible for.
So this should be called “the Obama Aleppo Genocide” or “the Obama Aleppo Massacre.”
I will never forget a comment by a respected BBC correspondent early in the Syrian civil war, reflecting on how he took his family on holiday to Syria 3 years earlier and what a wonderful time they had in a beautiful and peaceful country, full of fascinating history and amazing sights. Now, thanks to Obama and Clinton’s endorsement of the Arab Spring chaos, it has become a devastation, full of misery, slaughter and destruction. That guy who committed suicide in Tunisia 4 or was it 5 years ago, which started it all, has a lot to answer for, but much less than Obama.
Are we supposed to be surprised that Obama has once again been exposed for doing exactly the opposite of what America stands for? We are NOT surprised by that. At this point the only thing that I find surprising is that our Congressional representatives have not YET stood up to this man who has done his level best to destroy America & to destroy America’s standing throughout the world. I feel strongly that they have had ample reasons to act, repeatedly over the past four years, if not the previous four. The one thing that I can promise our Congress is that I know who all the current Senators and Representatives are, and I will not rest during the next Congressional term until every single name is off those lists that are on it today. They have proven to be a bunch of weak, lily-livered jerk-offs, lacking the courage to stand for what is right and just and American at every single turn. They have allowed God to be wiped out, religious holiday celebrations and patriotism to be wiped out, the Constitution to be threatened to be wiped out along with the Bill of Rights, the military diminished, the economy to tank, the jobs to leave, and the country to move to begin the surrender of our sovereign capabilities as a nation. They have allowed fear of criticism to prevent affirmative corrective actions to policy violations and tradition violations. They would’ve have allowed a long-term travesty of the change of balance in the structure of the Supreme Court. In my opinion, the best remedy for this Country, along with the new Trump / Pence leadership team, is to diligently seek the removal of any and all 2012-2016 incumbents who have proved their cowardice over and over, and replace them with new leaders with fresh ideas, true patriotism, loyalty, dedication to the restoration of the American ideals, and above all, the courage to stand on their convictions and defend our country both inside and outside our borders, and to protect our sovereignty and our rights and privileges!!
Yes I agree and they should be removed so they get no benefits from the American people that they are voted in to represent.
When are people going to realize that Obama is never going to feel ‘bad’ about any atrocities that he has perpetuated because he is a pathological liar and a psychopath. They don’t have any ‘feelings’. They are only about themselves and power. They are also cowards. And why is everybody blaming Russia for everything? If you have ever taken the time to listen to some of Putin’s speeches, he is not the communist of the past Russia. He loves his country and wants it to prosper just like we want ours to prosper. Why do you think he wants to work ‘with’ Trump for peace? Do some homework and get out of the blame game.
Obama is blaming everything he can on others for he never causes the problem, which we all know that he is the one that causes it. Why doesn’t our military just go into the black house and take him out and let Biden finish the term before Obama does more harm to this country. As they bring him out I can here the clapping and cheering now.
What has to be moderated. There is no vulgar or anything in that message that needs moderation for my freedom of speech.
Obama was a paper tiger and he proved it from start to finish.
the moral of the story for anyone especially for presidents and president Obama as he is still our president until he leaves January 20,2017 for now and for all the years to come is and will be… don’t start anything if you don’t mean to go through and finish with it.
The Failure in Chief is on his way out, and now that his birth certificate has been exposed as a counterfeit hopefully a lot of what he did will be overturned since he was not legally eligible to hold the office. This is one more example of why the liberal left should be banished from this country. To keep them here and allow then to run around unchecked will put even more lives at danger, not just around the world but here at home as well, they have already contributed to numerous lives in law enforcement being tragically taken due to their insane and twisted view of the world.
Poor Syria, it was another of Hillary’s pet regime change projects. She and Obama along with Saudis and Qatar were trying to get rid of Assad and place Muslim Brotherhood terrorists in his place. Syrians fought back and are still fighting those well armed bandits. I hope Trump and his people will take a good look at Obamas, Hillary’s, McCaine’s criminal support of bearded Muslim terrorists.
We the people have failed since he came in office we all did not want to be racist and give him a chance . So much for this he decive us and over Syria he is too blame but all this don’t help these people . We should go on our knees and pray . Bring god back and be watchful who we elect to run this country ,The senate,congress. Now we have self serving representatives , go in poor and come out supper rich . The all have blood on there hands Obama support Isis
Obama & allies, did this, Blame them for fall.
Blame Obama & allies for MESS,

OBAMA IS TO BLAME OR BEHIND COUNTLESS EVIL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. HIS HATRED FOR AMERICA IS PROFOUND. HIS MANDATES FAVORED ANYTHING BUT AMERICA AND ITS’ PEOPLE. DON’T BE FOOLED WITH THAT TOOTHY GRIN AND SAVVY TONE. HE’S A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING. HE’S A RADICAL … RACIST DIVIDER-IN-CHIEF.
MR. TRUMP WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE OF ALL RACES AND BACKGROUNDS. GIVE HIM A CHANCE. YOU’LL SEE.
President-elect Donald J. Trump was elected by the American people. On January 20, 2017 he will be the 45th President of the U.S. All attempts by the corrupt and sick leftist liberals/sore losers Dems are pure “Bologna” End of Story!
