But it does also state that he is a graduate of a Montessori school in Damascus, a detail confirmed within a profile on Hafez's mother, Asma al-Assad, which appeared in Vogue in February 2011...........
The post has also attracted many 'likes' and comments from accounts appearing to belong to the families of members of Assad's administration.

A Syrian journalist from Damascus, who wished to remain anonymous, told the New York Times that the accounts belonging to Mr Shawkat's son, Bassel and daughters, Anisseh and Boushra, appeared to be authentic....

Well, since President Obama acts like an 11 year old, and has the reasoning capacity of a four year old, this makes perfect sense..
Get through to Obama with someone who is about our CiC’s mental age.
Well, that’s like a “double dog dare”!!!!
It’s on now!!!

FACEBOOK WAR: ASSAD SON TAUNTS OBAMA!
Leader of the free world getting punked by the 11 year old son of a tinpot dictator. Makes me get the Jimmy Carter flashbacks..
I wonder if someone will break ettiquite and declare a “triple dog dare” right away? B-)
is really becoming dicey when an eleven year old is more intelligent than the _resident.
The management of Facebook is cracking down on threatening posts. Obama should unfriend him and report his threats to Facebook. That’ll show em
Our president want’s to fire a warning shot at Syria, but warning of what? If you’re going to fire a weapon, shoot to kill.
The heck with chemical weapons -- this will be his new causus belli.
Watch as he follows this up with a post saying that he intends to ask Sasha to the dance.
Isn't that the diplomatic equivalent of a Wag the Dog?
He says they were born to fight...
The region’s like Chicago street gangs on speed. Which side do we stand with? Doesn’t matter - both sides are the same.... A ‘win’ means nothing... and it could never be worth the price.
After Iraq and Afghanistan, and with Obama in office, the USA is not invading any country except for maybe France.
