May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

What I Said Isn't What I Said

“Many of the Members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he’s a reformer.”  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the murderous thug Bashar Assad, who happens to be President of Syria.

Well, she had to back up on that one a bit, so she said later at a press conference, “Well, first, Jay, as you rightly pointed out, I referenced opinions of others. That was not speaking either for myself or for the administration.” Alrighty then….

Here's how Bashar reforms:
Ron Allen, NBC Nightly News: "For days the Syrian government had crushed protests with brute force. Dozens are believed dead. Today many expected al-Assad to bend, but he took a very hard line and blamed the unrest on outside conspirators....Today the president said announcing reforms under pressure would be a sign of weakness. The same iron hand that kept his father in power for 30 years before him." Kudos to NBC, the only Jurassic Press outlet that reported the news of this. 
The Assad family has been murdering, imprisoning and torturing citizens for the last 40 years. Bashar is just the latest member of that illustrious family. In 1982 dear ol' dad slaughtered 10,000 protesters in the city of Hama.

So far 38 plus have been killed. Apparently Bashar is a bit more timid than Dad. Gotta ask the Bamster though, is it time to enter a fourth war.
