"The American soldier has become an expert in killing," he shrugs.

President Bashar al-Assad ruled out talks with the armed opposition and ignored its demand that he step down, instead using much of a nearly hourlong speech on Sunday to justify his crackdown. Sounding defiant, confident, and to critics, out of touch, President Bashar al-Assad of Syria on Sunday dashed hopes for a political breakthrough to resolve the country's 21-month uprising, using his first public address in six months to justify his harsh crackdown, and to rally his supporters to fight and inform on his opponents.
