Syrian President Bashar al-Assad expects War

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said Israel's raid on the Gaza aid flotilla has increased the chances of war in the Middle East.
In an interview with the BBC's Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen, he said Syria was working to prevent a regional war.
But he added that there was no chance of a peace deal with the current Israeli administration, which he called a "pyromaniac government".
Mr Assad also rejected claims he was arming Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.
Nine Turkish activists died during last month's raid on the Free Gaza ships attempting to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Asked if the Israeli raid had increased the chance of war in the Middle East, Mr Assad said: "Definitely, definitely."
"When you don't have peace, you have to expect war every day, and this is very dangerous," he said.
Israel has set up an inquiry into the raid after rejecting a United Nations proposal for an international investigation, but Turkey has said that it has no confidence in the impartiality of the investigation.
"[The raid has] destroyed any chance for peace in the near future," Mr Assad said.
"Mainly because it proved that this government is another pyromaniac government, and you cannot achieve peace with such [a] government."
The current Israeli administration of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was "different from any previous Israeli government", Mr Assad said.
He said there had been indications before the raid on the Gaza flotilla about "their intentions towards peace, their intentions towards the Palestinians, their intentions to kill Palestinians".
Mr Assad denied that he was sending weapons to the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, which fought a month-long war with Israel in 2006.
He said he was happy to do business with the United States, but insisted that Iran would remain an ally.
And he added that Turkey, which had been mediating between Syria and Israel, was unlikely to do so now following the flotilla raid - unless the Israeli government changed.
"The Turks never attacked Israel, never smuggled weapons, never did anything harmful to Israel. They only worked for peace," he said.
Syria had been in indirect talks with the former Israeli government of Ehud Olmert in 2008 until Mr Olmert resigned, facing corruption charges.
In recent months US foreign policy worked on the assumption that persuading Syria to come on board with them would be a piece of "low-hanging fruit" in the region, our correspondent says.
But now it is becoming apparent that gaining the support of Syria to help fix the Middle East peace process will not be easy at all, he adds.
The US has offered to drop five year-long sanctions against Syria in return for Syria dropping its ties with regional ally Iran.

No murder, since they are just a pack of obnoxious, rabbide jackals hopelessely caught in their stone-age retardations.

In any case, the Syrian governement is indeed holding back from fully dealing with those scumbags in homs and other such open sewers

One can flush the rats down but first, the battery acid!

@Fridaey13txhOktober Yeah. Murdering Israelis and 30million turks is really really a good thing. Almost as good as killing 5.000+ Syrians and depreving the rest of their freedom and dignity. ASS+ should kill all Syrians, all Turks, all Israelis, all pigeons and doves and dogs and cows. Just kill kill kill kill. Coz ASS+ is so good. He's really the best! I wish he'd rule the world, he has so much good things to give to the world!!! He's awesome, I want a baby from him. Go ASS+! God loves you!:-)

Good thing Syria have VX gas and biological agents, it can take down isreal and 30 millions turks.

Ken Jennings is the president of Syria?!

Israel is evil. Warmongers completely out of control. Stop AIPAC. End the wars. End the zionist Federal Reserve. Turn off the zionist corporate media. Israel and zionist traitors who were bought and paid for by AIPAC did 9/11. PURE EVIL. Do your research people. 12thGenAmerWASPmale
