Mitt Romney will announce Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate on Saturday, according to two sources with knowledge of the decision. Ryan is a bold pick who will energize the Republican Party, but putting him on the ticket is fraught with risk and instantly puts Ryan's budget plan front and center in the 2012 campaign. Romney will announce his choice in Norfolk on Saturday morning at the beginning of a four day bus tour through key battleground states, the campaign said Friday night. The Weekly Standard reported earlier Friday that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has been asked to be ready to make the case for Ryan beginning Saturday. Romney's alliance with the 42 year old Ryan has become the most dramatic development of the 2012 presidential campaign. Romney had been presumed for much of the last few months to be set on a safe pick, such as Sen. Rob Portman, or former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. But now, Romney, who is 23 years older than Ryan, will signal that he is willing to roll the dice. President Barack Obama's reelection campaign and Democratic political groups have been eager for Romney to pick Ryan, the architect of plans to slash government spending and overhaul entitlement programs that Democrats believe are political losers.

Mitt Romney will announce Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate on Saturday, according to two sources with knowledge of the decision. Ryan is a bold pick who will energize the Republican Party, but putting him on the ticket is fraught with risk and instantly puts Ryan's budget plan front and center in the 2012 campaign. Romney will announce his choice in Norfolk on Saturday morning at the beginning of a four day bus tour through key battleground states, the campaign said Friday night. The Weekly Standard reported earlier Friday that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has been asked to be ready to make the case for Ryan beginning Saturday. Romney's alliance with the 42 year old Ryan has become the most dramatic development of the 2012 presidential campaign. Romney had been presumed for much of the last few months to be set on a safe pick, such as Sen. Rob Portman, or former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. But now, Romney, who is 23 years older than Ryan, will signal that he is willing to roll the dice. President Barack Obama's reelection campaign and Democratic political groups have been eager for Romney to pick Ryan, the architect of plans to slash government spending and overhaul entitlement programs that Democrats believe are political losers.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad on July 17 on his administration's violent crackdown on anti-government protesters since the demonstrations began three months ago. Mrs. Clinton was speaking alongside the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu at a news conference in Istanbul, Turkey in which she urged the government to enter into dialogue with the opposition. "Yesterday, we witnessed the largest demonstration up to date in Syria and effort to try to convey directly to the government the pent-up desire Syrian people for the kind of reforms that they have promised and at the same time we saw continued brutality by the government against peaceful protests. Now Syria's future is up to the Syrian people but of course the efforts by the opposition to come together to organize to articulate an agenda are important parts of political reform," she said during the news conference. On July 15, security forces reportedly killed at least 32 civilians, as well as 23 in the Syrian capital Damascus as, according to activists, thousands of people took to the streets in a growing challenge to Mr. Assad's tyrannical rule. A National Salvation Conference was scheduled to take place in Damascus with important Syrian opposition members but the meeting was cancelled after the brutal crackdown.
