Manual in images: How to destroy your cities and annihilate your people by Bashar Al Assad

While Geneva 2 was in progress and Muallem lecturing the world about terrorism, Assad’d army launched some of its most horrific attacks on the Syrian civilians in Aleppo and Daraya (Greater Damascus). Barrel bombs, with unknown varieties of explosives but including T.N.T., were dropped on cities, not sparing mosques, churches or landmarks. The resulting destruction of stone and man is so horrendous and monstrous as to defy the imagination. The trail of untold suffering and destruction left behind, drove me to imagine the existence of such a manual as I mentioned in the title.  It is a methodical destruction, the one launched by Bashar, calculated, premeditated then  executed on an industrial mass scale with the kind of thoroughness that beggars description.

The manual

How to use barrel bombs and others effectively

Note that barrel bombs ,with their inventive  mixture of explosives, create pretty artistic effects when dropped on people and buildings. Anybody can produce death but to produce polychrome death is special.

Cities and houses get destroyed , so what ? This is the purpose of the exercise. Annihilate as much and as many as you can. They are all terrorists. Do not spare the children because they will grow up and become terrorists.
