More Gulf Arab nations have withdrawn their ambassadors from Syria. "We've kicked them (Assad and Co) out of the sand pie making contest and that's just for starters!" said the spokesman for Kings, Despots and OPRF (one party rule forever). "The Arab Consolidation Committee," he informed us, "is serious about this Syrian restlessness. We're withdrawing many Ambassadors for what we in the trade call "consultations." We've learnt as much as we can from our Syrian brothers about how to stick the boot in and other inventive techniques for putting down the undesirable elements who don't know their place." The spokesman stubbed out his bad habit and lit another. "So, you're Willy Western, new press boy in town. You'll soon be writing nonsense about Arab Springs, eh? Habebe; this is how it works. We Arabs say whatever we think that pant suited woman of Obama's wants to hear. Same for all of you fans of elected governments.We have a big tent-in, invite all the Carter family and Arab Spring simpletons; then after goats head soup and a camel race, pack them all off back home."

"But... we in the West regard as highly significant that no less a figure as King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has publicly criticised Bashar al-Assad!"
"Yeah, right" as you might say in the land of the free.
