is one of the reasons he is not getting support: President al-Assad gives interview to German Frankfurter Allgermeine Zeitung newspaper-SANA Syria,http://sana.sy/eng/21/2013/6/18/487994.htm.

That is the link to a recent interview, Assad gave to a German newspaper. He has been getting his side of the argument out to friendlier audiences. He does not come off as this monster, the other side is portraying. In fact, he is comming off as very intellectually well spoken, unlike a Saddam might we say. I would say if not as well but just as smart as Obama and his adversaries, when talking about his understanding of the problem.

You do not hear his side from the media in countries opposing him, like Britain, France and the United States. He definately makes serious accusations against the governments of the British and French. He also makes allegations against Saudi Arabia, Qatar,Turkey and Jordan. They are more directed at those countries than the United States. It gives the impression, Obama is the one being led by others. Including groups in the United States, that want him to invade Syria.
