U.S. President Barack Obama will call today for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to leave office, an administration official said. The announcement is expected this morning, said the official, who declined to be named before the president’s statement.
The explicit demand for Assad’s departure comes more than a month after Obama said Assad had lost legitimacy and as momentum builds at the United Nations for a formal resolution against the bloodshed. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu warned on Aug. 15 that “time for words will be over” unless Syria ends military operations against its people.
Human-rights activists who have compiled names of the dead since the uprising began five months ago say Syrian forces have slaughtered more than 2,400 anti-government demonstrators.

U.K Syria= Double Standard? What about the U.K Mr Obama? why not make the Mayor of London step down because of their NYPD style police force?
