'Assad should tell West to go to hell'

The Arab League has frozen its monitoring mission in Syria, because of the escalation of violence there. More than a hundred people are thought to have been killed in clashes between Syrian security forces and opposition groups in the past two days. The UN Security Council remains split on how to end the crisis. Russia has given a resound "no" to a new resolution on Syria, drafted by the EU and Arab states, that warns of further action if Damascus fails to comply. The text called for President Assad to transfer power to a deputy. Moscow says the resolution should not contain any threat of sanctions or imply any outside intervention. RT talks to political analyst Stephen Lendman, from the Center for Research on Globalisation.
Amid intensifying fighting between the Syrian army and opposition groups, RT's Sara Firth has been to an area near the capital, which was recently taken over by rebel fighters. As she reports, although the opposition is united against the regime, they're poles apart on their methods.

@mrtomjoy Assad is not bombing his own people he is attacking the rebels whom are creating terror. Syrian Army is not bombing or using power just because they feel like there is a reason for it. Assad is a great leader there is no better option for Syria. God Bless Assad & the hell with all who wants him to leave office !
