Wasn't it Obama who decided to send an embassador to Syria. He just got a good beating. Robert Ford attacked in Syria (VIDEO) Posted By Josh RoginMonday, August 29, 2011 - 4:21 PM Share A video has emerged of U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford being assaulted by a pro-regime demonstrator on the streets of Damascus last week. The assault took place before Ford's unapproved trip to the city of Jassem on Aug 23. Ford was present at a gathering of demonstrators who support the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assadoutside the Cham Palace Hotel in Damascus when one demonstrator ran up to Ford and tried to wrap him in a poster that featured Assad's face. Ford's security intervened quickly and rushed Ford to his car. The incident was then replayed in a highly produced segment on a Syrian television station owned by Mohamed Hamsho, a businessman is the brother-in-law of the president's brother, Maher al-Assad. Hamsho was sanctionedby the U.S. Treasury Department earlier this month for siding with the Assad regime during its brutal crackdown on protesters. VIDEO thecable.foreignpolicy.com
