how vain can one become...
Bashar al Assad is not his Daddy’s kind of Stalinist, but his brother is in charge of the Syrian military, and as long as the Army is fanatically devoted to House Assad, and they most certainly are, Bashar is invulnerable.
Assad is going nowhere anytime soon, and especially not at the direction of Premier Hussein. Hafez al Assad was a very devoted Stalinist, and enjoyed the support of the former Soviet Union for decades. They armed him with just about everything they had in their arsenal, and as a result the Syrian Army is well equipped to put down any kind of internal resistance as their performance over the last five months has proven.
This statement from Hussein is meaningless. The US is in no position to do anything about removing him. NATO is six months into their efforts to remove Kadaffy, and making no progress toward removing him either.

He sent his fellow Saul Alinskyite, Hillary Clinton, out to call for the step down...
"That trick never works!"
‘Stop, or I’ll yell ‘stop’ again!’
“Any chance Assad will do the same thing with Bammy?”
Wouldn’t that be hilarious?
Assad should reply Nuts! That would be hilarious.
Obama, you couldn’t run a lemonade stand if you had an operator’s manual; I call on you to step down!
It worked so well in Libya, why not?
Title should be:
Asshat calls on Assad to Step Down....................
Genoa calls for Obama and Biden to step down.
