As Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafis regime collapses, another Middle East autocrat is facing more and more heat internationally: Syrias Bashar al-Assad. The latest indication that Assad is losing ground in his battle with anti-regime protesters came on Wednesday when a key ally, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, offered at least veiled criticism of Syrias violence against its own peopleand in an interview on a TV station affiliated with one of Syrias closest patrons, Lebanese terror group Hezbollah.

Hey Basher Asshat: We watched the U-Tube videos of people who were on their knees, cuffed, and being kicked in the face by your goons. KNOW THIS! YOU OWN THAT! And hopefully soon, you will trade places with the helpless people who are being kicked in the face.

Oh, no, not more international pressure, heavens to betsy.
If the miserable hell-hole had more than a drop of oil in it, Zero and NATO would have given Assad a fragmentation grenade enema months ago.
And don't forget, these warnings and pressure are totally phony, just being put out there in order to lay down some cover for the next big UN condemnation of Israel -- probably next month's General Ass. vote on koranimal statehood.
Thanks Tzfat.
