    Syria says will foil Western efforts to sow chaos

    BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria dismissed on Monday U.S. and Western criticism of Damascus and said it would defeat what it called foreign attempts to spread chaos, hours after the White House said President Bashar al-Assad had lost control and would inevitably fall from power.

    "We are not surprised at the lack of wisdom or rationality of these statements and regret that they are still issued by countries that are used to making the Middle East an arena for their follies and failures," the state news agency quoted a Foreign Ministry source as saying late on Monday.

    "Syria, which is defending itself today against terrorism and will continue to do so, will be the exception which ... will foil the policies of chaos adopted by these countries," it said.

      TOO LATE, SYRIA!!!
      You've been HAD.
      We've planted the seeds of dissent, now they will grow, Grow , GROW!!!

      You see, once we allowed the 9/11 attacks to happen, we had all the excuses we needed to go ANYWHERE we want and UNDERMINE RADICAL ISLAM ANY WAY WE CAN....Moderate Islam is too weak and divided to do it themselves....So we'll be doing it FOR THEM whenever, wherever and HOWEVER we can.

      And guess what???

      SYRIA IS ON OUR LIST!!!

      This is a time of war.....it's not a game.
      Its GAME OVER.

      Pres. Oblablah has lost control and will inevitably fall from power.

      Will Hillary side with the anti-Oblahblah forces or with Oblahblah's brownshirts?

      Egypt and Libya are rapidly becoming Islamic Radical nations. Obama will make it a perfect 3 with Syria.

      If what just happened in Oakland CA is any example, the demonstrations are turning into riots and could grow to be as big a problem as what the SYrian regime faces. Also, the so-called Arab spring is leading into more and more chaos with instability in both Egypt and Lybia. What happens when people protest is that it is taken over by anarchists and turns more towards rioting. We could see the general and more conservative US public turning against the Wall Street protesters as they turn into more radicalized mobs.

      The perfect defense is to label the protesters as terrorists. Once labeled a terrorist anything is fair game. Unless the army stops killing their own people the blood will continue to flow.

      EU targets Samsung, central power is the answer, one world government will make us all happy and there will be no more killing. We need to all serve the state and that service will enrich our lives knowing we are creating new and better and fair rights for all man. I have seen the light we must stop this "I" society and focus on the world. Hillary wrote a book called it takes a village read it. America elected Barak we need to follow him, and do what he says, cause he knows. If we can somehow make him world leader things would get a lot better. Obama for world Emperor in 2016 (after his second term prepping the U.S. for transition into the new world community.) San Francisco and Paris would be the new world capitols. Islamic law would serve as the basis for new social norms.
