Kofi Annan leaves Syria after talks with Assad
Source: AP
The international envoy Kofi Annan has left Syria without a deal to end the year-old conflict in the country, as regime forces mounted a new assault on rebel strongholds in the north.
The former UN secretary general said he had presented the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, with concrete proposals "which will have a real impact on the ground".
"Once it's agreed, it will help launch the process and help end the crisis on the ground," he said at the end of a two-day visit.
Annan, who also met Syrian opposition leaders and business leaders in Damascus, said he was optimistic following two sets of talks with Assad, but acknowledged that resolving the crisis would be tough. "It's going to be difficult but we have to have hope," he said.

If it's not unethical to nominate something based on your own posts!
But seriously, folks, I knew I had the pic on my server but thought it would be quicker to do a search for it. On google, yahoo, and bing, this is as close as I came:
I said, "This ISN'T the picture -- he looked a LOT dorkier than that." That's when I pulled it off my server!
