You are one huge LIAR from your hate for Israel to the international community!! Move that big gaping lying Assad asswiper of yours over to Syria and STOP hiding out in New York!! The Assads and much of the nation’s elite, especially the military, belong to the Alawite sect, a small minority in a mostly Sunni country. Mr. Assad has consistently denounced the protests as a foreign plot. And even if he were interested in reform, any moves in that direction would mean rejecting the tight-knit, Allawite-dominated circle of government, military and business leaders that is the core of his support.

Syria’s crackdown has been condemned internationally, as has President Assad, a British-trained doctor who many had hoped would soften his father’s iron-handed regime. Criticism has come from unlikely quarters, like Syria’s close neighbors, Jordan and Turkey, and the Arab League.

Syria was expelled from the Arab League after it agreed to a peace plan only to step up attacks on protesters. In November, the league applied wide-ranging sanctions. In December 2011 and late January 2012, Syria agreed to allow league observers into the country. But their presence did nothing to slow the violence.

The Syrian opposition is being crushed by forces loyal to President Bashar al Assad, any attempts at diplomatic pressure are being thwarted by Russia and China vetoing resolutions at the UN, and economic sanctions aren’t much use when a dictator seems to have decided it’s a case of kill or be killed.

So what to do about Syria and the dictatorial Assad? Republican Sen. John McCain, an influential voice in foreign affairs as the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, believes we should think seriously about “arming the opposition.” The White House says that’s not an option being “considered” right now. Perhaps not actively considered, but it’s hard to believe it hasn’t been discussed at some pretty high levels.

And a lot of experts believe, like McCain, that in the wake of the complete failure of diplomacy, it’s a question that has to be reconsidered. Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer of the Center for Advanced Defense Studies believes we should use the model the Clinton White House used for getting weapons to the Bosnians, running so-called “black ops” to get weapons to the Syrians. It’s something the U.S. also did to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan after the 1979 invasion.

I CARE ABOUT THE INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN BEING MURDERED BY ASSAD'S REGEME! You should too! Most civilized countries have elections so when you have brutal Dictators like China, Syria, Iran and the list goes on there is no way to get rid of the tyrants other than by force!! The people are stuck with their ruthless Dictators their whole lives and then when that clown passes, daddy appoints another ruthless Dictator and this is an endless cycle! It's like a nightmare that will not go away!! I don't blame the people one bit!! Ask yourself why the Syrian clown living in New York is not worried one iota!! He's a Paid Assad Sock Puppet! Period!
China supports Syria and guess what? There is NO freedom in China to how many children you can have to the Internet!

Hey Clown!! The Head of Al Qaeda calls on Muslims across world to help Syrian rebels, saying they can't rely on West! And you were blaming all of your LIES, Propaganda, Idiocy, ignorant nonsense on the West! Ha Ha Ha Ha! Aren't you a Muslim?? You are a Muslim you Stinking Al-Qaida lover!! Al-Qaida are Muslims are they not?? Have you clown ever thought about getting a lobotomy? You should be getting a memo from Assad any day now telling you that your lies and propaganda mission is over in New York and report back to Syria for your hanging. Shut that gum flappin' lying mouth! Hey clown!! After recent suicide blasts, the Syrian government quickly blamed Al Qaeda, although no groups stepped forward to claim credit, while opposition leaders questioned if the government orchestrated the attacks to provide cover for its violent response. The United Nations estimates that more than 5400 have been killed since March, and the Arab League has taken unprecedented steps in a bid to stop the conflict. Hey idiot, if it were true in the first place, there is only a handful!!
