US Pulls Out Ambassador From Syria Over Safety Fears

Robert Ford angered Damascus with support for protest movement

The United States has pulled its ambassador out of Syria over worries of his "personal safety" after his cultivation of contacts with protesters led to attacks on his embassy and residence by backers of President Bashar al-Assad, the State Department said Monday.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Monday that Ambassador Robert Ford returned to Washington this weekend after "credible threats against his personal safety."

Well, we let the radicals take over Libya, they are beginning to take over Egypt, so why not pull out of Syria and let them take over there? Sharia Law for EVERYONE!

At this rate, the star & crescent will be flying over Washington, D.C. by 2020 (or sooner).

And you thought Obama was stupid [he loves it when a plan comes together!]
