Obama: Order needed in Syria when Assad leaves
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)
