    Everything involving the Arab Spring is a sham, even our support of it.

    Anyone recall Bahrain's "Arab Spring"? The king there shot it down much like Assad did and what did we do about it?

    Exactly - dick, that's what we did about it. Why? Bahrain is a much closer ally to us than Syria is.

    The $#@!ing Middle East brings out the suck in everyone.

    This is how the United States has always behaved and why many find it disingenuous when American leaders say they are standing up for equality and democracy. I applaud you for admitting the truth and not having the wool pulled over your eyes like so many others. This should serve as an explanation for you MMC as to why those with dual citizenship are sometimes need to deny American citizenship for their own survival abroad.

    Assad not in a co-operative mood...

    Syria's Assad vows he won't be forced into exile
    Nov 8,`12 -- The bravado sounded familiar. Like the leaders of other countries swept away by Arab Spring uprisings, Syrian President Bashar Assad vowed to never be forced into exile and to die in his homeland.
    Assad dug in his heels even as world powers move to boost the opposition in Syria's civil war - the latest turn in a nearly 20-month-old crisis so overwhelming that even the Red Cross says it can no longer cope. "I am not a puppet, I was not made by the West for me to go to the West or any other country," Assad said in an interview with Russia Today, which posted excerpts Thursday on its website. "I am Syrian, I am made in Syria, and I will live and die in Syria."

    The rare interview - in which the 47-year-old president spoke in English with his words translated into Arabic - was posted online two days after British Prime Minister David Cameron suggested that Assad could be allowed safe passage out of Syria if that would guarantee an end to the civil war. The full interview will be broadcast Friday, the TV station said. It was not clear when or where it took place. Assad was seen in a gray suit and tie, casually talking and also walking with RT's reporter outside a house.

    Assad has made only a few appearances public since the revolt began in March 2011. Last month, state TV showed him praying on the floor of a Damascus mosque for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. As the two sides battle for the upper hand, civilians are bearing the brunt of the crisis.

    Peter Maurer, the head of the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross, said the civil war has been in a downward spiral for months. "We can't cope with the worsening of the situation," Maurer said. "The seriousness of the crisis is deepening with every day and this trend has been uninterrupted since summer." The Red Cross has improved its transportation and logistics, making it easier to bring in truckloads of food and medicine, but it has become overwhelmed by the dire need of hundreds of thousands of people struggling inside Syria, he said.

    Red Cross says it cannot cope with Syria emergency
    8 November 2012 - Rabab Al Rifai, of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Syria: ''Humanitarian needs are on the rise''
    The Red Cross has said it "can't cope" with the worsening situation in Syria. "The humanitarian situation is getting worse despite the scope of the operation increasing," said Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Meanwhile, President Assad has told Russian TV that he will not leave Syria as suggested by the UK prime minister. It comes as Syria's divided opposition groups are meeting in Doha to discuss uniting under a new leadership body. "I am not a puppet, I wasn't made by the West. I'm Syrian... and I have to live and die in Syria," Mr Assad told the Russia Today TV channel.

    He warned that if Syria were to be invaded by foreign troops "the price would be too big" for the rest of the world. "If we have a problem in Syria - and we are the last stronghold of secularism, stability and co-existence in the region - it will have a domino effect from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He said he believed the West wouldn't move in that direction, but added: "If they do so, nobody can tell what's (going to happen) next."

    Blank spots

    Mr Maurer said the conflict was causing more casualties and making it difficult for the ICRC to reach victims. There are currently "a lot of blank spots" and an unknown number of people were not getting access to the aid they needed, Mr Maurer added. The ICRC has not been able to get to certain parts of the country, he added, giving as an example the city of Aleppo, which has been badly hit by violence in recent months. Its personnel were able to access some districts of the flashpoint city of Homs last week, which Mr Maurer said was a major success.

    The constantly moving nature of the conflict meant the Red Cross could not plan but instead had to seize opportunities for aid delivery on a day-to-day basis, Mr Maurer said. His comments come a day before UN diplomats and aid agencies are due discuss the issue of access to Syria at a meeting in Geneva. On Wednesday, a Syrian medical group claimed that up to 95% of foreign medical aid supplies were being diverted into the hands of government forces - a statement that the ICRC says is so far unsubstantiated, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva reports.

    Strong pressure

    Genius USers love to blame everyone except their own shamed, hoodwinked, deluded and insane mentality.

    It is US support for the terrorists that is causing the problem in Syria. If the US blockaded the flow of assassins and terrorists going to attack the Syrian people, and, if the the US seriously said to the Saudis et al., "STOP your terrorism, or we'll take you out of the game" the problem in Syria would end.




    USers' collective refusal to know the truth is bringing them big trouble. They don't even want the truth of who killed President Kennedy.
    Marina Oswald says, "The danger of the truth not being known will destroy this nation, actually. They maybe don't believe me, but that's the fact."
