Obama Insists: Assad must Step Down
Arutz Sheva ^ | 09/12/2013 | Adam Ross

Leading Kuwaiti newspaper Alrai has reported that the U.S. administration will demand that any agreement made with Syria should commit President Bashar al-Assad to step aside, and commit the remaining parties to working towards a cease-fire agreement. Reportedly, the new U.S. demand has been met with fury in Syria, where regime officials claim such a move would ride roughshod over the "democratic rights" of the Syrian people to elect their own leader.

Sources close to the Syrian President were quoted as saying: "Not Iran, Russia and not the United State can decide who the Syrian President will be, " adding, "the Syrian leadership expected the demands of Washington to get bigger and bigger, but this is illegal and cannot be considered."

The source added: "The intention was to enter into an agreement regarding chemical weapons that would ensure they don't fall into the wrong hands, but there will be no agreement that seeks to further strengthen the terrorist rebel forces."

Obama’s interest in invading non-enemy Syria has nothing to do with Syria, poison gas, or children.

Obama’s interest in bombing non-enemy Syria has everything to do with creating a long-lasting, controversial, DISTRACTION for Congress in order to keep Congress from defunding Obama”care”/Boehnerkare.

Obama’s “Red Herring” for the 9-11 Benghazi Massacre Coverup was Susan Rice’s fake Video story.

Obama’s “Red Herring” for distracting Congress until Obama”care”/ Boehnerkare kicks in October 1 is Obama’s “Crossing HIS personal Red Line” distraction speech.

Obama speaks only for Obama, not the US Federal Government or America.

REMEMBER BENGHAZI !

But first, we demand that he put his left foot in, he takes his left foot out, he puts his left foot in, then he shakes it all about.

If Assad steps down it will mean the deaths of many Christians and alawite Muslims in Syria by the Moose-limb brotherhood...

>>alawite Muslims<<

AFAIK, Alawi are about as Muslim as Mormons or Jehova Witnesses are Christian.

“I insist” said Obama while stamping his feet. “don’t make me hold my breath”

Sure. That’ll happen. Meanwhile, Assad insists we stop helping al Qaeda. OK. What’s Putin going to do now?

In a million years I never, ever thought I would ever think of myself as pro-Assad or pro-Putin.

That is how bad Obama is.

Assad is at least as legitimate a president as the other guy.

Obama has been made internationally irrelevant, at least over Syria. The Russians and Syrians can go their merry way, “controlling Syria's chemical weapons”, and ignore Obama. Can Obama strike Syria or even expect Assad to step down when Russia and Syria announce progress to the world?
