Photo of the Day: The Catastrophe in Syria

Photo of the Day: The Catastrophe in Syria | Power Line:

 "The Obama administration’s Syria policy has been a fiasco. 

I don’t think anyone seriously tries to defend it.

That said, the humanitarian tragedy that is unfolding in that country is not the responsibility of the U.S. government. It is the fault of Bashar Assad and his minions, and al Qaeda and other radical Muslims who have forcibly taken over the opposition to Assad.

 The human catastrophe in Syria is almost beyond reckoning. 

You can look up the numbers, but what stunned me was this photograph, taken late last month.

The scene is Yarmouk, a district of Damascus that is populated largely by Palestinian “refugees” and has been the scene of heavy fighting. "
