U.S. Says Assad Must Go
(Reuters) Andrew Quinn and Arshad Mohammed - State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland suggested Wednesday that Washington had doubts about the viability of an Arab League plan aimed at ending Syria's violent crackdown on protesters. "Syria's made a lot of promises to the international community in the past," Nuland said. "There is a risk here that they are trying to string out diplomacy, that they are trying to offer their own people half steps, or quarter measures, rather than taking the real steps." White House spokesman Jay Carney said, "Our position remains that President Assad has lost his legitimacy to rule and should step down."
