'Panetta has blood on his hands for supporting Syria rebels' [Michel Chossudovsky © RT]

The U.S. military chief says the fighting in Syria's largest city of Aleppo will ultimately be 'a nail in President Assad's coffin'. Leon Panetta is currently on a Middle East tour, promising to continue to push for Assad's departure. RT spoke to Michel Chossudovsky from the Centre for Research on Globalization. He believes there are indications that NATO states may soon move from war mongering against the Syrian regime to real action.
