Thursday’s threat comes as international pressure mounts on President Bashar Assad to stop the brutal crackdown on an uprising against his regime. The U.N. says 3,500 people have been killed in the crackdown since March.
The Cairo-based Arab League called on Damascus to agree to an observer mission by Friday. If they refuse, the League will meet Saturday to decide on sanctions that could include stopping flights to Syria, ending financial dealings with Damascus and freezing Syrian assets.
If the Arab League was really serious about doing anything, it would have acted months ago. I hope the Turks invade Syria form the north, and teach Assad a lesson.
The days of the squirmy dictator dentist are approaching. He should go back to London and pratice on all the Muslims there.
To #2 - Assad is NOT a Dentist, but an Ophthalmologist.
