Assad Demands End to U.S. 'Threats'

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad insisted that the U.S. give up its "policy of threats" and halt arms shipments to rebels before his government turns over its chemical weapons, as U.S. and Russian delegations began talks in Geneva aimed at forging a road map for the shutdown of the weapons program.

Mr. Assad's comments, in his first public statement on the Russian proposal that Syria hand over its chemical weapons to an international monitors, underlined the distance between Syria and its backers in Moscow on one side and the U.S. and its allies on the other.

Before starting their discussions, Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, pledged to closely cooperate in seeking to disarm Syria. But differences between the two diplomats were evident, with Mr. Lavrov saying military force against Syria was unnecessary and Mr. Kerry stressing that the threat of force was the only reason Mr. Assad has made pledges to give up his chemical-weapons arsenal.

First Putin, now Assad. That this two-bit dictator rodent has the embolden temerity to take potshots at the US in unprecedented manner seemed unimaginable under Bush is part of the new found reality of America's eroded power and influence on the world stage. With Putin's new found military, political stridency giving him cover, Assad has taken the lead in defiance of America, demanding it end its threats against this ruthless thug, can you imagine?, not the least of which is result of the abject lack of respect, fear in which Obama's pusillanimous, rudderless presidency has turned the US in to a laughing stock. To see how such vermin that Assad as the political pariah he is thumb its nose up at American diplomacy, its seeming military resolve with impunity is a sad commentary on the once unassailable superpower in the shadow of its former glory.

Nothing a little trip to Damascus and a little 0bama bowing and scraping couldn’t cure.

He can't get any work done from all the laughing.

Oh c'mon, FReepers!

Never mind the sabotage of America's superpower status. That hurts my brain.. He's dreeeeeeeeemy!

[lbryce]

Bull’s Eye mocking commentary on the open-mike fiasco of Zero in characteristic revolting obsequiousness talking to Putin of increased selling out of America once unshackled by his re-election.

The World is rubbing The Messiah's face in the mud for his incompetence, political posturing, and out-and-out ignorance of how to deal with Leaders.

America is the laughing-stock of the World now, with a faggot/dyke/ass-kissing command structure in its Military, too.

Hey Asshead!

How would you like a knuckle sandwich?

[Made In The USA]

I want more Americans to see that picture, be sickened by it, understand that this is how they do business, and decide without question to not follow any political leader that supports these animals.

Nauseating, revolting for sure. But not quite the orgasmic glee of Monica Lewinsky’s puss captured forever in frozen Botoxed paralysis upon laying eyes on Bubba during a campaign stop.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

“Orgasmic glee” got us stuck with 0bama for 8 years, possibly for life.

[Vendome]

I agree with President Putin and Assad.

[Lady Heron]

Assad should keep his mouth shut. All he is going to do is goad the al Qaeda boy president into going ahead with a strikea strike.

The House needs to vote now.

[Dalberg-Acton]

al Qaeda boy president

You called it right and it applies to a large number of elected and unelected officials in the federal government. This is treason as defined in the US Constitution. Will the military have the will to arrest these low life traitors?

Afraid so. :-)
