what has happened is this . the president has pulled back his forces to safeguard the Syrian people. anything else is a complete lie.
why are the rebles not called terrorists ? if 99% of Syrians support the president, who are the 1% that don't ? I'm from the communist UK. what I've learnt about president assad is this . if I had a country full of honorable citizens. I would want a president like Mr assad.
