“The Obama administration is preparing to explicitly demand
the departure of Syrian President Bashar Assad,” reports
the AP.
The White House is expected to lay
out the tougher line by the end of this week, possibly on Thursday, according
to officials who said the move will be a direct response to Assad’s decision to
step up the ruthlessness of the crackdown against pro-reform demonstrators by
sending tanks into opposition hotbeds.
REALLY? “A direct response to Assad’s decision to step up the
ruthlessness?” On THURSDAY? What the hell are you waiting for? More dead
Syrians? Just say the words. Say them TODAY: “Assad must go!” That might have
been a direct response in March. Now, two-thousand-plus deaths later, it’s only a whimper,
and you are exposed: A hopeless, useless, rotten, cowardly, pathetic, quaking collection of incompetents standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It's really amazing how Obama is so much tougher on our friends than on our enemies. Also, didn't Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, not known for their humanitarianism already withdraw their ambassadors from Syria? What is ours still doing there? 2012 can't come soon enough.
