Assad to Mansour: State is Obligated to Confront Outlaws who are Terrorizing the People
Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour stressed on Sunday Lebanon’s rejection of all attempts to meddle in Syria’s internal affairs.
He said after holding talks in Damascus with Syrian President Bashar Assad: “Lebanon’s stability is linked to Syria’s stability.”
“The two countries are not only bound together because they are neighbors, but they are bound by historic, cultural, and fraternal ties,” he added.
For his part, Assad stated that Syria is steadily implementing reform.
Furthermore, he said: “The state is obligated to protect the lives and security of its citizens against outlaws who are blocking roads, closing down cities, and terrorizing the people.”
The meeting was attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Walid a-Muallem, Assad’s advisor Buthaina Shaaban, Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali, and Lebanese Ambassador to Syria Michel Khoury.

This unelected dictator whose only achievement in life is being his fathers son has some nerve, his henchmen are the only outlaws.
Only in the Middle East could this be considered normal, he's had over 10 years to reform the coiuntry and he's failed, now its reform at the end of a noose Assad.

"Syria is on the path to reform," he was quoted as telling Lebanese Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour by the state news agency, Sana.
"To deal with outlaws who cut off roads, seal towns and terrorise residents is a duty of the state, which must defend security and protect the lives of civilians," he added.

I wish you would give this advise to your surrogates here in Lebanon. Your allies here, Aoun, Hizbullah, Amal, SSNP, Baath, etc did exactly that in Lebanon, and we did not see you urge the Lebanese government to do its obligations. Blocking the Airport road in Beirut has become a daily routine for your local thugs in Lebanon. They closed down the center of Beirut for 18 months and we did not see you "raise an eye", on the contrary you encouraged them. Funny how state obligations differ from your regime to ours.....

Bashir... So the 400 odd security forces dead were killed by who? Oh that's right, Hezbollah and Iran.
And the 120 police from jisr el shagour that had their heads chopped of and spiked? That's right, they were killed by their own army for not shooting on civilians.
Oh, they must of been Syrian army dressed in civilian cloths infiltrating the protesters to shoot and kill the police and army so to blame the peaceful demonstrators. (this is actually what the "Syrian opposition" released statement regarding recent Homs clashes)
No bashir, no one believes that there are armed Gangs, after the weapon smugglers were caught in Beirut.... They are more likely best described as terrorists, religious extremists, brotherhood salafis, mixing in with peaceful demonstrators.

Ado...do you realize that 120 sodliers killed at the hands of "extremists" in one day is more than what Canada lost in Afghanistan in 10 years? Seriously dude, do you believe that there are armed gangs? Why then did they not attack any of the pro-regime rallies...Think for God's sake..

Countries with ethics and consciences are pulling out of Syria, we send our monkey on a string to dance for Assad.
Furthermore, Assad said: “The state is obligated to protect the lives and security of its citizens against outlaws who are blocking roads, closing down cities, and terrorizing the people.”
I cannot believe my ears and my eyes! Is it a nightmare or what? are you not the biggest supporter of these thugs in Lebanon who did exactly that ! In your country you kill them with tanks but in Lebanon you support them and call them resistance. In syria, you say now you will allow political parties but not those with religious roots or those that are branches of foreign parties. But, in Lebanon your allied with Hizbullah, a party founded on wilayat al faqih. It is ok inLebanon to have a Baath party and a SSNP, both branches of foreign parties?
