Obama’s friends help Syria suppress demonstrations

As I said, Syria and Iran are friends. Best friends, even.

In Syria, the anti-Assad demonstrations are getting bigger and are explicitly calling for regime change. The Iranians have sent some of their top experts to Syria to aid the Baathists in putting down the insurrection. The mullahs have delivered some 400 cameras that are hidden in traffic signals, in order to identify the activists, and more than 42 censors to shut down foreign radio and TV broadcasts. And there are many Revolutionary Guards and Hizbullah in Damascus, along with Iranian-trained Arabs, nearly 2,000, to show the Syrian security forces how it’s done. In other words, it’s an attempt to replay the Iranian repression on Syrian soil.

Isn’t that wonderful? The so-called secular Baathists are supported by Tehran’s extremist Mullahs. And Obama? What is he doing? Why isn’t he condemning the violence in Syria? Isn’t it remarkably how quick he was to condemn America’s ally Hosni Mubarak, while nothing than the sound of silence is coming from the White House with regards to the violence committed on the order of Bashar al-Assad – a noted America- and Israel-hater?
