Assad clings to power: ‘We stopped American-Israeli plot’
Hat tip to lawhawk, who posted earlier about Assad typically blaming the turmoil in Syria on a conspiracy. I am reposting with link to another source to highlight what the mainstream media refuses to report, namely that Assad doesn’t merely blame nameless outside sources, but rather that he specifically blames the U.S. and Israel. Again, lawhawk’s update on his own blog points this out, but it is notable that the msnbc report to which he originally linked does not mention this fact. Nor did the NPR radio report that I heard this morning during my drive into work.
