Arab League Attacks U.S. for Withdrawing Support for Syria's Assad
(Telegraph-UK) Richard Spencer - President Barack Obama has been attacked by Arab countries for his withdrawal of support for Syria's Assad regime. The head of the Arab League, Nabeel Al-Arabi, denounced "foreign intervention" in Syria after Obama said President Assad was "losing legitimacy" in the eyes of his people. Al-Arabi by contrast insisted that he "supported" Syria's reform process. His words put the Arab League at odds not only with America but also Europe. In separate comments the French foreign minister, Gerard Longuet, said it was "indecent" that China and Russia continued to block a Security Council resolution condemning the Assad regime's crackdown.
