Amb Robert Ford offers a new definition of Arab terrorism

"Also on Friday, the American ambassador to Syria, Robert S. Ford, said that an attack on his convoy by government supporters on Thursday was more violent than had been reported. He said one man jumped on the hood of one vehicle and tried to kick in the windshield while another clung to the vehicle’s side, trying to smash a window. Others threw concrete blocks and attacked the vehicles with metal rods."  How does one carry a concrete block?  Also, Ambassador Ford added that one of the protesters (notice they are referred to as "government supporter" because any one who expresses opposition or animosity to the US in the region is a supporter of the Syrian or Iranian government no mater where he/she--there were women protesting the ambassador from footage I saw--is) carried a whole mountain and tried to throw it on the car. And another tried to throw an elephant at the convoy although no footage exists of the flying elephant.
