美國說阿薩德“失去合法性”

The United States says Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has "lost legitimacy," while France has renewed its call for the United Nations Security Council to take action in the on-going Washington's strongest condemnation of Mr. Assad since his security forces launched a violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in March, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the authoritarian leader "is not indispensable," and that the U.S. has "nothing invested in him remaining in power."

French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said Tuesday it becomes more difficult for Mr. Assad to remain in power with each passing day. He also told Europe-1 radio that the U.N. Security Council's "silence" on Syria has become untenable, and that Russia and China are blocking a U.N. ton condemned recent mob attacks on the U.S. embassy and the American ambassador's residence in Damascus, as well as separate assaults against French diplomatic missions in the accused Mr. Assad's government of attempting to divert attention from its brutal domestic crackdown, and she demanded that Syria uphold international treaty obligations to protect foreign diplomats and missions. She also charged that Damascus has accepted aid from Iran to repress the Syrian ds of Syrians loyal to Mr. Assad surged into the U.S. embassy compound in Damascus Monday. Attackers broke windows, raised a Syrian flag on the grounds and wrote anti-U.S. graffiti on walls. The mob left after the brief incursion was pushed back by U.S. Marine guards.美國表示，敘利亞總統阿薩德已經失去合法性，與此同時，法國再次呼籲聯合國安理會在這場持續不斷的危機中採取行動。在華盛頓對阿薩德安全部隊今年三月暴力鎮壓支持民主的抗議者後最強烈的譴責中，美國國務卿希拉里·克林頓說，這位獨裁領導人是“不能脫開干係的”。美國對他“繼續掌權不抱任何希望”。

法國總理菲永星期二表示，現在阿薩德的執政狀況每況愈下。他還對歐洲一臺說，聯合國安理會在敘利亞問題上默不作聲的做法站不住腳，而且俄羅斯和中國阻撓聯合國的決議。希拉里·克林頓譴責最近暴徒對美國駐大馬士革使館以及美國大使官邸的攻擊，同時譴責針對法國駐敘利亞外交使團的攻擊。希拉里·克林頓指責阿薩德政府企圖轉移人們對其殘酷國內鎮壓的視線。她還要求敘利亞遵守保護外交官和外交使團的國際條約的義務。希拉里·克林頓還指責大馬士革爲了鎮壓敘利亞人民而接受伊朗的援助。大批忠於阿薩德的敘利亞民衆星期一衝入美國駐大馬士革使館院內，他們敲破窗戶，升起敘利亞國旗，並且在牆上書寫反美塗鴉。暴徒們在被美國海軍陸戰隊員逼退後撤離。
