1 "We are against the occupation of Iraq, against the actions of American forces in in Iraq, against violations of human rightsâ¢."

So... umm... where the fuck were you Assad when Saddam was gassing his own people and murdering them in the thousands?

And when will you withdraw from your own occupation of Lebanon?

2 But we don't consider the United States an enemy of our country...

"... so please don't make me hide out in one of those empty septic tanks."

What's that smooching sound I hear coming from Dubya's butt? Sounds like Baby Assad is suffering some pucker factor in regard to his continued existence.

Fine one to talk about "violations of human rights", innee?

5 Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad said in an interview that he did not consider the United States an enemy despite their sharp differences.

In other news, President Bashar Al-Assad was seen at his residence rat holing an e-tool.

6 "We are against the occupation of Iraq, against the actions of American forces in in Iraq, against violations of human rightsâ¢."

Has he condemned his father's slaughter of Hama, yet? Or are some human rights violations more important than others?

7 To the people of Syria, no not in principle.

To Baby Assad, to to your local Home Depo and by one of those little shovels and start digging. It's just a small hole and really won't take very long.

And to make your stay a bit more comfortable maybe you could buy a bit of DDT.

8 Is Baby Assad trying to prepare the background for the day Saadam's lost WMDs are found stashed on syrian soil!

9 The Greek journal Kathimerini is owned by the devious Greek shipping magnate Aristides Alafouzas. Alafouzos has just signed an agreement with a number of liberal newspapers to create a new press alliance (also including the NYTimes-owned International Herald Tribune). It is a toss-up who is more reliable, Assad or Alafouzos.
