Syria regime blasted by David Satterfield, Bernard Kouchner, and ...

... John Kerry?

Yup. Here it is at Across the Bay:

"Syria must be held accountable"

In an interview with UPI, Satterfield said: "The Syrian government bears responsibility for the political crisis in Lebanon, and is obstructing the election of a new president in order to peddle its demands in that country, seeking to restore its hegemony over it. This behavior is rejected by us and is unacceptable to the democratic majority in Lebanon itself, and should be rejected also by the region and the international community."

He added that Syria must be held accountable "for its obstruction of the election of a president for Lebanon and preventing the Lebanese from deciding their own future by themselves."

Regarding the recent meeting between President Bush and Syrian dissidents, Satterfield said that the meeting "reflects our interest in supporting the voices calling for change and freedom and democracy in Syria." ...

Kouchner: Talks with Syria lead nowhere

Meanwhile, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner also lambasted the Syrians for their subversive interference in Lebanon, and acknowledged what we've been saying all along, that talking to Syria leads absolutely nowhere. Engagement with Syria has always been and continues to be a disastrous failure. ...

Go to the post for the whole thing, and don't miss the exchange between Senator John Kerry and "Bashar groupie, propagandist and court biographer, David Lesch", where you can find out in what context Tony Bey reports that "Kerry then cut through the BS".

Yes, really.

In any case, it's good to see the likes of Bernard Kouchner, David Satterfield, and even Senator Kerry agreeing on the need to get serious about Syria. As Tony says, "Onward with the tribunal -- full throttle. Let's get those indictments."
