Bashar Al Assad's interview was one of the most inarticulate, discombobulated, contradictory and mendacious performances by any head of state I had ever seen. It is even worse when you read the full transcript rather than just watch the sanitized video that was broadcast.
One of the most outrageous claims is that there was no official policy to shoot or maltreat peaceful demonstrators. Those who died were the result of "mistakes" committed by individuals. How many mistakes should be committed before we can declare it a policy? Even more troubling is his total lack of remorse. Even if every last civilian victim of the last 9 months were killed by his fictitious terrorist gangs, he should feel remorseful because he failed miserably to protect his own people.
For those doubters, those who still cling to the notion that there is an ounce of decency in this man, here is the list of 4360 of Bashar's "mistakes" as of December 6th.
