Backing al-Bashir

No surprise here:

Arab leaders have concluded their annual summit by showing their support for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir who is wanted for war crimes.

The Arab League said it rejected the International Criminal Court's decision to issue a warrant for his arrest.

President Bashir had earlier spoken at the summit in Qatar, and won strong support from his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad.  […]

Earlier in the day, Syrian President Assad said those who had "committed massacres and atrocities in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon" should be arrested first.

In Lebanon? The man is shameless.

    ‘Syrian President Assad said those who had “committed massacres and atrocities in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon” should be arrested first.’
    So that’s the Hamas leadership, ex-Baathist bosses, those currently in charge of Al Qaeda in Iraq, and the leaders of the varying factions involved in the Lebanese civil war. Plus Bashar himself as well. That sounds like a good start.

    It’s all about the sales pitch.
