Damascus lashes out at Egyptian president, Muslim Brotherhood after Morsi severs ties with Bashar Assad's regime.

Syria on Sunday harshly criticized Cairo's decision to sever diplomatic relations with Damascus, accusing Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi of joining a US and Israel-led conspiracy against Syria.

Morsi said he had cut all diplomatic ties with Damascus on Saturday and called for a no-fly zone over Syria, pitching the most populous Arab state firmly against President Bashar Assad.

Syria's official SANA news agency quoted a government source as saying that Morsi was implementing the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood, who has called for jihad against the Syrian regime, and ignoring the aspirations of the Egyptian people.

"We [Sunni MB of Syria] stand against Hezbollah [Shia's of Lebanon] in its aggression against the Syrian people," Morsi said. "Hezbollah must leave Syria - these are serious words. There is no space or place for Hezbollah in Syria."

Morsi said Syria was the target of "a campaign of extermination and planned ethnic cleansing fed by regional and international states", partly in reference to Iran, though he did not name the Shi'ite Islamic Republic.

[that's the pot calling the kettle black for sure, as the "Syrian opposition"] is in reality a Sunni & MB putsch]

“We have the ultimate satisfaction that as these savages go at each other in a take-no-prisoners attitude no matter what the outcome we win.”

It’s not. It’s not on simple humanitarian grounds and its not because the opposing lines will only be hardened more afterward no matter the outcome. “Moderates” where ever they are will have even more difficulty afterward as the cycle of blame and revenge continues.
