Begin Excerpt 1 are from Wikipedia
Hafez al-Assad was the President of Syria for three decades.
Assad’s rule was praised for consolidating the power of the central government after decades of coups and counter-coups,
He also drew criticism for repression of his own people, in particular for ordering the Hama massacre of 1982, which has been described as “the single deadliest act by any Arab government against its own people in the modern Middle East.” Human Rights groups have detailed thousands of extrajudicial executions he committed against opponents of his regime.
Assad ordered the Syrian army to bombard the town of Hama in
order to quell a revolt by the Muslim Brotherhood. In what became known as the Hama massacre, an estimated 17,000 to 40,000 people were killed, including about 1,000 soldiers.
He was succeeded by his son, current president Bashar al-Assad, in 2000.

“Al-Quds” reports new Syrian military operation seeks to “eliminate armed rebellion proclaimed by terrorists against civilians and the army.”
Syrian President Bashar Assad declared a state of war on Wednesday and issued a general mobilization of troops, Al-Quds newspaper reported Thursday evening.
Operation “Bayrak al-Assad” was implemented secretly, and is a “major military operation” requiring full mobilization of military forces in Syria for concentrated offensives on cities across the country in order to eliminate “terrorists who threaten us,” according to the report.

On Friday Syria broadcast terrorists confessing to building bombs in order to attack civilians and Syrian forces in Latakia, Israel Radio reported.
Additionally, Syrian opposition leaders called on protesters to organize large demonstrations this, and every, Friday, according to the report.
Syria’s new military operation is an escalation of President Bashar Assad’s violent crackdown against what some call “pro-democracy activists” and others call “terrorists,” which began in March.
This order implies a significant difference between the peacetime efforts carried out by Syrian military forces since March to round up terrorists trying to undermine the Syrian regime, and the newly declared state of war.
The stated goal of the new offensive, which required the mobilization and full preparedness of the Syrian military, is “the elimination of armed rebellion, proclaimed by terrorist organizations against the civilian population and elements of the army and security forces for several months,” according to the Al Quds report.

Assad said the country would be ready for political parties besides the ruling Baath Party to submit applications within a week, paving the way for possible elections in as little as three months, but that February, 2012 would be the most logical time for voting.
Protesters in Syria have been calling for Assad’s ouster since mid-March, and the regime has come under international criticism for its violent crackdown on demonstrations in which thousands of people have been killed.
