This assassin, Bashar al-Assad, is apparently just as bad if not even worse than Muammar Gaddafi was, and hopefully he will meet with the same fate; sooner rather than later. These animals will do whatever it takes to remain in power, even if it means slaughtering their own people. For these low-lives, enough is never enough. TGO

AMMAN/BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces rained rockets and bombs down on opposition-held neighborhoods of the city of Homs on Wednesday, reducing buildings to rubble and killing more than 80 people, including two Western journalists.
The barrages marked an intensification of a nearly three-week offensive to crush resistance in Homs, one of the focal points of a nationwide uprising against Assad’s 11-year rule, and prompted further international condemnation.
More than 60 bodies, both rebel fighters and civilians, were recovered from one area of Homs’ Baba Amro neighborhood after an afternoon bombardment, adding to 21 killed earlier in the day, activists said.
“Helicopters flew reconnaissance overhead then the bombardment started,” Homs activist Abu Abei told Reuters.
Videos uploaded by opposition activists showed smashed buildings, deserted streets, and doctors treating wounded civilians in primitive conditions in Baba Amro, the main target of Assad’s wrath.
