Venezuela, Cuba FMs Lead Support Mission to Syria
2011-10-09
[An Nahar] The foreign ministers of Venezuela and Cuba are leading a delegation of leftist Latin American countries to Syria to meet Sunday with Syria's President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators. Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor...
in a show of support.

The eight-member ALBA bloc's talks aim to "reject invasion and political destabilization attempts of the country by the United States and its allies," Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro said in state news agency AVN.

"We reject all forms of interventionism that the empire is trying to apply as it did in Libya for a violent process of regime change," he added from Geneva.

Representatives of Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Bolivia led by Maduro and Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez are traveling to Damascus
...The City of Jasmin is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti...
to "support the Syrian people in their search for stability."

ALBA is sending the diplomatic mission amid fears of a repeat of the same conflict that saw Libyan leader Moammar Qadaffy
...a proud Arab institution for 42 years...
removed from power.

Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are also members of the alliance of leftist Latin American and Caribbean countries.

Washington has renewed its calls for Assad to step down immediately amid escalating violence against anti-regime protesters that has left nearly 3,000 people dead.
