Washington, Rabi'I 24, 1434, Feb 5, 2013, SPA - Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad cannot be involved in a political resolution to end the crisis in Syria because he has lost all legitimacy, the White House said Monday. "The U.S. position is clear; it is also the position of the Syrian people [that] we support a political resolution to the crisis in Syria," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters traveling with President Barack Obama to Minnesota. "And as the Syrian people have made clear, Bashar Al-Assad has lost all legitimacy to enable a political solution and a democratic transition that meets the aspiration of the Syrian people." --SPA 11:03 LOCAL TIME 08:03 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1075352
