Annan in Syria with message for 'everyone with a gun'
By CNN Wire Staff
International envoy Kofi Annan arrived in Syria on Monday amid growing fury over a gruesome massacre that killed 108 people in one town.
He vowed "serious" discussions with President Bashar al-Assad and said he had a message for "everyone with a gun": to halt the violence.
Rebel leaders have said Annan's six-point plan is already "dead" following the killings in Houla, a suburb of the anti-government bastion of Homs. U.N. monitors in Syria said 49 children were among those slaughtered there Friday.
Al-Assad's regime insists it was not behind the massacre and blames terrorist groups. Throughout the uprising against the government, Syria has blamed violence on "armed terrorist groups."

This is a classic situation in which it is virtually impossible to find who is responsible. The world does not have methods to detect whose the incoming projectiles are. That is prevented by the fact that the shooters are hidden in buildings or behind the. This dooms the Annan Plan! I see no other way than to ask Al Assad to make massive concessions to the opposition, to spare his nation more bloodshed! Call it the Desertvoice Plan.
Why must CNN insist on plastering blatant Israeli propaganda??
Remember Bahrain anybody??
Where the fuck is the international outrage for Bahrain??
It's time to stop messing around here. Action needs to be taken immediately. Actual action not talk.
Does anyone take this clown seriously?
