Ecuador says asylum for Assad not ruled out

AFP - Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa, in an interview published Monday, said his country would consider granting asylum to his embattled Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad.

"Any person that requests asylum in Ecuador, obviously we are going to consider as a human being whose basic rights we have to respect," he told the daily Folha de Sao Paulo.

He confirmed that Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Fayssal Mekdad visited Quito two weeks ago but denied Israeli press reports that a possible asylum for Assad and his family was discussed during the visit.

As these maps published Friday by the Institute for the Study of War show, Bashar al-Assad now controls less than half of his capital city of Damascus, and is basically holding up in his stronghold of downtown Damascus.

Damascus close to falling?

Another ME country about to come under fundie control. Assad is no choir boy, but at least he is comparatively moderate.

Can you imagine the chaos there will be when/if Assad is gone and Syria is in the hands of MB? Including all of the chem stuff...

Can Israel just stand there and watch that happen?

There was a thread on that earlier.

That's it then. The Kurdish people are on board.

This means the definite end of Assad's reign.

Is the fact that the MSM is picking up on this lost on you?

It is the push to get the American sheeple to support US intervention. There was a serious effort made to point out the crossing of the "red line".

I was wondering the same thing LJS ! What about that red line ?

Not at all. What remains to be seen is if it will actually work.

Consider how dumb-down much our population has become, if "they" say it often enough, yes, it will work.

Not unlike a blitz advertising campaign. Soon the sheep will be fully hypnotized & if Oblala says so, will follow him into the abyss.

Besides, this administration may soon need a serious distraction from the fiscal cliff issues -- whether they are resolved or not. Matters not how that matter ends, there will be a large number of pissed off people.

Why pass up on a great distraction opportunity??
**sarcasm**

I give it about 50/50. With the advent of the internet and sites like this, there are less people asleep at the wheel now, imho

Twitter news?

War salad from military industrial complex think tank?
Institute of study of what? The imaginary drawing of current events in DAMASCUS? They have people on the ground? ...hm lets see...

Who is behind these twitter news?

As of December 2011, ISW did not publicize on its website the members of its board of directors. However, according to 2008 tax documents, the organization has had five board members: Elizabeth Cheney (chair), daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney and founder of the right-wing advocacy group Keep America Safe; William Kristol, editor of the neoconservative flagship magazine the Weekly Standard; Jack Keane, a retired four-star general who coauthored with Frederick Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute “Choosing Victory,” a 2007 study that served as a blueprint for the so-called “surge” in Iraq; and Dennis Showalter, a military historian. ISW’s founding president is Kimberly Kagan , a historian who is married to Frederick Kagan.[2]

When I see you write about this current administration I still can't believe this is true, I can't believe we're gonna be stuck with Hussein for another 4 years...I'm still hoping to wake from this nightmare !

For more than a month now I can't shake the nauseating feeling I got after Nov 6th !

bullshit as usual..

assad lives and dies in syria, you aids ridden propaganda king.

Like an envelopment of a dark mist.

Looking forward 4 years -- what I see ranges from nothing to nothing good.

YouTube as a viable rebuttal?

Nothing good for the American people that's for sure ! The NDAA was just the first step in the transformation of the US into a Gestapo police state !

Outlawing guns, RFID chips and installing black boxes in cars are just the next steps !

this shows how dumbed down man is... After Syria its Israel turn... than the USA, Greece, Italy, France, Spain... this turics shall not stop... thats what they have been saying

Woe can fight the beast...
