Syria & the Arab League

Syrian Army in revolt, 4000 citizens killed and Iran's little buddy, President Bashar Assad seems to be on the way out.

That guy is so disgusting even the Arab League has had enough.

Syria says it’s still open to Arab League observer plan, as sanctions tighten

New violence killed at least nine people on Sunday, including a female university professor and a father and his three children in central Syria


Syria’s failure to meet a Nov. 25 deadline to allow in observers drew Arab League sanctions, including a ban on dealings with the country’s central bank.

Who would think?
Syria, which has already been suspended from the 22-member League, may be playing for time while its crackdown continues.
