Syrian President Bashar Assad said Monday that the United States has lost its influence in the Middle East due to its failure to contribute to regional peace, in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

U.S. President Barack Obama "raised hopes" in the region, said Assad, but has failed to accomplish any significant peace maneuvers.

Assad's comments came just before Obama was to meet with Lebanon Prime Minister Sa'ad al-Hariri to raise Washington's concerns about Syria arming Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.  ...

Throwing Israel under the bus isn't good enough for them?  What do they want, for 0Bama to personally fire rockets into Israel?

Well, yes, pretty much.  This is a transparent attempt to get Obama to make some further concession to the Arab/Muslim world as a further 'sign.'  I should say that it would be transparent to a person of normal intelligence and experience, whether it will actually work on the truly credulous tools of the Obama Oministration (Including the Head Tool) is a much more wide-open question.
