PENTAGON: 'It's Time For President Assad To Step Aside' — Violence In Syria Is 'Deplorable And Disgusting'
When news broke yesterday that Russia is sending attack helicopters into Syria to help President Assad silence the civil uprising, it was clear the conflict could take a dramatic turn soon.

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said Russia's move to arm the Syrian government "will escalate the conflict quite dramatically."

In tandem, the Pentagon is using even harsher words to slam President Assad, saying the regime has to go.

Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said the violence in Syria is "deplorable and disgusting," according to the Armed Services Press Service.

"I would reiterate, once again, that it’s time for President Assad to step aside and for Syria to return to a country of greater peace and stability and a place where the Syrian people can determine their own future," he said.

"We have a degree of violence that is intolerable, perpetrated by a relatively well-armed regime," pointed out Little. The massacres of innocent civilians by the regime's loyal forces is "intolerable" in the eyes of the U.S.

"They are lashing out, and they are lashing out in a violent and brutal way. And that is absolutely unacceptable."

First off,

It's not a civil war. Assad is just killing innocent civilians. These people are trapped in the city and have no supplies. It's murder.

There are 40,000 south africans dying a month from starvation, thats pretty deplorable and disgusting,but how would it benefit us to really go in there and help. Humans are nefarious leeches, we are parasitic to our fellow man and this planet

Anyone that watched Libya intervention closely sees the similarities with Syria.

"step down"
"step aside"
"condemn"
"sanctions"

Same rhetoric coming from the talking heads. It's just taking longer this time.

I've been saying for quite some time this is going to be a Libya redux on steroids.

Sounds that way... Because for now, all they can do is publicly condemn the regime, and any nation that supports them.

The scenes of dead children in Syria are somehow more shocking than the scenes of dead children in Afghanistan and other places resulting from U.S. drone attacks?

Kinda hard to claim the moral high-ground here, when the U.S. is itself guilty of massacres and crimes against humanity.. Especially against Muslim people.

The USA has crated a monster, and the more they try to fight it, the stronger and more dangerous it becomes.
