CONFERENCES TO BE HELD AS LONG AS THE SLAUGHTER CONTINUES

A cunning ploy to halt the carnage in Syria has been revealed in a scoop by the UK satirical magazine Private Eye.

In its edition of 9 to 22 March 2012, it has the following world exclusive:

The final communiqué of an international conference in Tunisia has warned President Assad of Syria that the international community is prepared to hold another conference if the bloodshed doesn’t end.

“President Assad needs to understand that we’ll continue to hold huge conferences and we won’t stop until every last man, woman and child has been slaughtered in Homs,” said an angry Hillary Clinton.
