سفيرا واشنطن وفرنسا في حماة وسوريا تتهم فورد بلقاء "مخربين"

These guys [Bashar-al-Assad and Co.] are just desperate

This is inacceptable and could be considered by the Syrian government as a ( casus belli ) !

Such diplomlats should be called back by their government , they are irresponsable .

I wonder what the US government would have done if the Syrian Ambassador to the US went to meet with anti government armed rednecks who purpose is to topple the Government?

I do think that Assad is in deep trouble . . . . .

courageous syrian people!

This "president" Assad has transformed his country into a mamsaha (so as he did in Lebanon: look at Lebanese State upside down included Mikati "govt"). If brave Syrians are saboteurs, then Palestinians are too, while they "cut roads" and help people from "going to their work" and are often met by foreign ambassadors. This Assad is an outstanding baboon instead. Our strongest hopes lies in seeing Lebanese in Lebanon wake up one morning as such saboteurs too.

"When is the U.S. ambassador going to attend the protests in Bahrain?"

the day the ambassador of iran is going to attend protests in syria....

This shows you how dumb the US and France are. They give the Syrian regime a reason (and rightfully so now) to crush Hama. Congratulations freedom-seekers for such dumb friends. If they cannot kill you directly, they can kill you in other ways. In any case, I cannot wait for the ambassadors of these countries to meet and sleep the night among the freedom-seekers in Bahrain and most urgently in Saudi Arabia. EWEEEEEEEHA

Finally some kind of move by France and the US to show some support to the Syrian opposition, too bad those countries are putting stability and their crap economies before the interests of the Syrian people by not seeking to oust the Assad regime, but in time the people will get it done.

A couple of weeks ago the regime was giving the US ambassador tours, now that he met the actual opposition in the street he is a 'saboteur', what a joke these archaic dictatorships are filled in their ranks with morons who think that they can succeed where other dictators failed or are failing (Ben Ali, Mubarak, Qaddafi, Saleh).

Finally a good move from this ambassador and for those who want to consider it a cassus belli start shooting if you dare little rats!
To the other morron wondering what would happen if the syrian ambassador met with rednecks wanting to topple the US government, the answer is: nothing will happen, whoever is FREE to meet with whoever under whatever circumstances in the US.
PS: the US ordered the Bahrainis not to hurt civilians. How many people died in Bahrain? How many people died in Syria?

Throw the bastards out asap.

Assad told Ford, if you meet with the people and learn the truth, we’ll punish and kill all our citizens.

The days of the criminal Assad Family regime are coming to an end. All those criminals that helped kill their own people in the name of protecting their Dictator Assad will no doubt face justice by the very people they helped Assad kill and opress. In other words these individuals not only are protecting their own dictator (tormentor) who would not hesitate to kill everyone of them if need be to save his own skin, but they will also face the wrath of their opressed FREE Syrian people. The Choice of these individuals is theirs they either stay on board Assad's sinking ship of sensless dictatorship and face certain death and leave their surviving families with a legacy of shame and fear of retribution or switch sides (the way many have already done) and join the only sustainable legitimate rule to be, that of the Free Brave Syrian people that will undoubtably prevail over Assad's criminal gangs and so called "intelligence" weasels. Freedom and Democracy to Free Syria is a must and a need

I have been trying to stay away from commenting on here when I see the ignorance spewed by some of the posters (Le Phenicien mostly).
Just this note: If Syria i o upet about Ford' visit, why isn't he being summoned by the Syrian FM to explain his actions? This is because the ASS(ad)HOLE regime can use this as propoganda in the state run media. Why i the no mention of the French ambassadors visit to Hama?
I have such great respect for Lebanon...or maybe I should say had...
