الولايات المتحدة ترى أن الاسد اما "منفصل عن الواقع" أو "مجنون"

Assad uses the same dis-logic and confounding lies as the Hezz do. It worked in the small world of Iran, Lebanon, and Syria.....but the whole world knows these lies and it doesn't work where people have tongues and big guns too.

Psychotic interviews like this will only highlight that he needs to be gotten rid of and put on trial by the families of those he killed and tortured.

Maybe. But then show just one leader, especially in the Arab world, who isn't. Who are you kidding?

I don't see why he can't be both.

Dictators live in denial and create false realities based on the flatterring of those who surround them. To be a dictator requires brain damage and assad sure does have it in his genes!

Bashar has messed up badly in this interview. He is in the the same league as all the doomed dictators of the past. The sooner he steps down, the better it is for everyone. Lots of lives will be saved.

The US foreign policy is also disconnected or turns a blind eye to what the israeli's have been doing to the palestinains for the past 60+ years.

So in 1 word: hypocrites

Go public week, yesterday the rat was out of its hole to speak to the media live on TV in Lebanon and today we have the liar not the dreamer or illusion man waste people's time to buy time.

It was courageous of Mr. Assad to confirm what some had suggested: that he is not the boss. I wonder if Mr. Obama would make such an admission.
Apparently nobody is the boss of Lebanon (because Israel, France, and the US cannot agree what to do with it). So Hezbollah is the only state in "Lebanon".
The interesting question is about who is the boss of Israel.
If you take "Israel" to include both the colony in Palestine and its supporters in governments in Europe and the US, you have a state with a unique character. Not only is it without a boss, but it has no laws. It is a state without a state. "All dressed up and nowhere to go." It has one mission imperative: to avoid wondering what it is doing. So everyone in this wider Israel is in charge (in a very democratic manner) of this job of avoiding wondering what it is for. Security? Try secularism, law, and equality. Heritage? The same. Escapism? There are cheaper ways. Revenge? On whom?
Syria now mirrors Israel.

Just a criminal buying more time, time to relocate to a sewer
