Obama: Order needed in Syria when Assad leaves
None
Anxious to keep Syria's civil war from spiraling into even worse problems, President Barack Obama said Friday he worries about the country becoming a haven for extremists when - not if - President Bashar Assad is ousted from power.
Obama, standing side by side with Jordan's King Abdullah II, said: "Something has been broken in Syria, and it's not going to be put back together perfectly immediately - even after Assad leaves. But we can begin the process of moving it in a better direction, and having a cohesive opposition is critical to that." (AP)
