The Assad regime in Syria is denying responsibility for the slaughter of 90 civilians, about half of whom are children, in a tank and artillery assault yesterday. The spokesman for the regime says that heavily armed men carried out the assault. Of course, teh civilian population says it was government forces. The United Nations "peacekeepers" found spent tank and artillery shells at the site of the massacre. I assume we will next hear from the government that those shells were just planted there by the foreign terrorists on whom the regime blames all violence.
In simple terms, Bashir Assad and his regime are lying. They are ignoring the rest of the world and attempting to slaughter their way to retention of their power. So far, it seems to be working as the rest of the world has displayed major indifference to the killing of 12,000 Syrians.
Given yesterday's headlines that Iran now has enough enriched unranium for five nuclear weapons, my guess is that president Obama will want to replicate that great success here. Obama can have endless discussions with the Assad regime while they kill tens of thousands just as he has talked to Iran while their machinery of death cranks out a few nukes.
