AFP: US calls Syria military 'barbaric'
clipped from article:
"The behavior of Syria's security forces, including other such barbaric shootings, widescale arrests of young men and boys, brutal torture, and other abuses of basic human rights, is reprehensible," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.
"President Assad must understand that he is not indispensable, and we believe he is the cause of Syria's instability, not the key to its stability," she said.
"The regime should make no mistake that the world is watching, and those responsible will be held accountable for their crimes," she said, repeating Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's remarks that Assad has "lost legitimacy."
