“What we started will not stop”

Sounds about right.

So-called "syrian opposition" is nothing short of a bunch of plain murderers, supported by western hypocrites. Assad is doing right, exterminating them at a place.

Well said techno! I agree 100% We all can wait have happened to many countries after so called revolution, see where Iraq is standing now, Libya is a country owned by war lords and Egypt is on news everyday! West is selling guns and they must be pretty happy with the war industry selling more bullets than Mc Donalds sells burgers!!

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement that Assad's speech was "yet another attempt by the regime to cling to power and does nothing to advance the Syrian people's goal of a political transition."

I am puzzled: Is she the spokeswoman of the U.S. State Department or of the Syrian people?

How many Mideast "police actions" must the blue-helmeted troops be involved with? Is that the western agenda?

I thought most of the opposition funding was coming from other Middle Eastern countries, Are people just conditioned to say "the West" to the point where they just can't stop themselves?
