The Scotsman: Syria: Free Syrian Army vows to free nation from Bashar al-Assad (5 February 2012)
THERE is no choice but to use force to drive president Bashar al-Assad's regime from power the commander of rebel Syrian soldiers has declared, after Russia and China used their Security Council vetoes to block a UN resolution aimed at resolving the crisis.

...

He called Russia and China's veto a "strike against the Syrian people," not just the opposition.

...

In an interview with Al-Arabiya TV on Saturday after the UN vote, the head of the Syrian National Council Burhan Ghalioun said a coalition might give the FSA support "if necessary" to "protect the Syrian people".
