Obama to Call for Assad’s Departure

HeadlineAug 11, 2011

President Obama is expected to publicly call on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down in the coming days. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the United States is watching the violence in Syria “with horror.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney: “The growing chorus of criticism aimed at President Assad for his heinous actions is not an accident. It is because we are all watching, with horror, what he is doing to his own people. And we are working with our international partners to ensure that pressure continues to be placed and is ramped up on President Assad, and we’ll continue to do that.”
