Russia: Clinton: Russia Aiding Syria

 
In a dramatic turn Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that Russia may be sending attack helicopters to aid Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Violence in the region has continued unabated as forces loyal to the Syrian ruler try to crush a 15-month popular uprising. Clinton said Tuesday that the United States is “concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from Russia to Syria,” saying that the adding to the iron-fisted ruler’s armory “will escalate the conflict quite dramatically.” Clinton made the comments at a joint appearance with Israeli President Shimon Peres. Russia has worked to stall international plans to bring an end to the conflict that has left an estimated 13,000 dead.

  1. Hillary has displayed her humane character caring for the children of Syria. Nobody else has.
