GCC: Syria Must Stop 'Killing Machine'

W300

The Gulf Cooperation Council on Sunday urged Syria to immediately stop its "killing machine" against anti-regime protesters, and reiterated its demand for serious reforms.

Ending a meeting in Jeddah, the six GCC foreign ministers issued a statement calling for "an immediate end to the killing machine" in Syria.

The group of oil-rich Arab monarchies also urged "the immediate implementation of serious reforms that meet the aspirations of the Syrian" people.

Last month, GCC states Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain recalled their envoys from Damascus to protest against President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on anti-regime protests that erupted in March.

The United Nations says more than 2,200 people have been killed since then, mostly civilians.

The Syrian regime blames the violence on “armed terrorist gangs” backed by foreign agitators.

And this was coming from the foreign ministers of KSA and Bahrain. They seem to have forgotten how they massacred the peaceful Bahraini protesters, and now they're lecturing on morality.

The next time these farts meet they will beg Syria to stop its killing machine. In the meeting that will follow that, they will proudly announce that Assad a good and loyal friend. I wonder is cheikh imbecile will ever set foot in Lebanon again considering that he wants to come back from Damascus Airport. WHAT AN MENTALLY ILL IMMATURE IDIOT. But then this raises the following troubling question: if the leader cheikh Imbecile is an idiot, then what does this tell you about his followers?

Karim, in Bahrein far fewer chiites were killed than peaceful demonstrators murdered in Tehran by their fellow chiite compatriots! Any Iranian trouble stirring hand should be cut from the shoulder down!
