Assad to UN: Syrian operations over (yeah, right!)

Military and police operations against protesters in Syria have stopped, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the world body said in a statement.

  1. <p><span>A dictator, hiding behind a nihilist's mask,
    has killed and killed and killed,
    pillaged and wasted,
    but is afraid, he claims,
    to kill a sparrow.
    His smiling picture is everywhere:
    in the coffeehouse, in the brothel,
    in the nightclub, and the marketplace.
    Satan used to be an original,
    now he is just the dictator's shadow.
    The dictator has banned the solar calendar,
    abolished Neruda, Marquez, and Amado,
    abolished the Constitution;
    he's given his name to all the squares, the open spaces,
    the rivers,
    and all the jails in his blighted homeland.</span><span></span>

  2. Assad should be tried for crimes against humanity for his attempted genocide against the Iraqi people 2003-2007. And for crimes against the Syrian people as well.
