Casino67 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Arutz Shiva:Syrian President Bashar Assad took advantage of the interview he gave to Syrian state television on Sunday and responded to U.S. President Barack Obama’s call for him to resign by saying Obama himself should resign.Assad said in the interview that the U.S. stands alongside Israel “who commits crimes against Arabs and Palestinians.”“What the West says does not interest us,” Assad said. “If we understand that these countries support the crimes of Israelis against the Palestinians, then we understand what this is all about.”The Associated Press reported that in the interview, Assad also said he expected a parliamentary election to be held in Syria in February of 2012, along with a series of reforms that would let political groups other than his Baath party to participate.
