WASHINGTON - The White House on Tuesday branded Syria's parliamentary elections "a meaningless exercise" marred by unfair laws and intimidation tactics by the authorities.
"On April 22 and 23, (Syrian) President (Bashar) al-Assad failed again to deliver on his long-promised reforms, rendering Syria's parliamentary elections a meaningless exercise," spokeswoman Dana Perino said in a statement.
