"The future of Syria should be determined by his people, but President Bashar al-Assad in his way," Obama said in a statement released Thursday morning by the White House. "Their dialogue and reform calls rang hollow as it is to imprison, torture and slaughter of his own people."
"However, for the Syrian people, it's time for President Assad to withdraw," added the statement to Obama.
