Bush: Patience with Syria's Assad Ran Out Long Ago
[White House] President Bush said Thursday at a press conference: "My patience ran out on President Assad a long time ago. And the reason why is because he houses Hamas, he facilitates Hizbullah, suiciders go from his country to Iraq, and he destabilizes Lebanon." "I'm looking forward to going to the Middle East. I've got a couple of objectives. One is to advance the Palestinian-Israeli peace process. Secondly is to continue to work with our Arab friends on reconciliation with Israel. And finally, is to assure people in the Middle East that we understand - or we'll show a strong commitment to the security of the region, and a commitment to the security of our friends."
