Houla massacre-- turns out Al Assad's government had nothing to do with it

Not sure why anyone didn't just think to ask him in the first place-- would have cleared things right up.

Syrian President Bashar Assad said on Sunday that, despite deep suspicion from the United Nations, the Syrian government had nothing to do with last week's massacre in Houla, where more than 100 people--many of them children--were killed.

"Truthfully, not even monsters would carry out [the crimes] that we have seen, especially the Houla massacre," Assad said in a televised speech to the Syrian parliament in Damascus, his first public comments since the massacre. "There are no Arabic or even human words to describe it. The criminal or criminals who committed this crime and others are not criminals for an hour or criminals for a day, they are constant criminals and are surely planning other crimes."

Assad blamed foreign terrorists for the killings.

"At this time, we are facing a war from abroad," he said. "Dealing with it is different from dealing with people from inside."
