Empty talk in 'nice hotels'
2012-07-05
[Saudi Gazette] The chief UN observer in Syria Wednesday criticized the international community for talking too much in luxurious settings, and doing too little on the ground to stop the horrific violence.

"There is this feeling that it's too much talk in nice hotels, in nice meetings and too little action to move forward and stop the violence," Maj. Gen. Robert Mood told news hounds here.
The 300-strong UN Supervision Mission in Syria was suspended in mid-June because of intense violence across the country.

"The urgency of stopping the violence is maybe the most important issue for everyone involved" in the conflict, Mood said.

Maj. Gen. Mood returned to Damascus
...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world...
 from Geneva, after a meeting where world powers agreed on a plan for a transition in Syria, which did not make an explicit call for Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Leveler of Latakia...
 to quit power.
