The prospect of a Geneva II peace conference actually happen for the ongoing Syrian Civil War is looking more and more remote, as the leader of the Syrian National Coalition George Sabra has announced his group will not be taking part.
Sabra went on to say that talks with the Assad government are “impossible” at present, and warned that his group would withdraw from the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), the pro-US rebel umbrella, if anyone else from the SNC attended.
Not that anyone else in the SNC had announced it was going to at any rate, as the group has spent the last several months debating whether or not to take part in the conference (which was supposed to be in June) without any resolution.
The SNC has the loyalty of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), a moderate faction made up of military defectors, but the group seems to be splintering badly lately, with a number of rebel groups disavowing them and signing up for rival umbrella groups.
When you are siding with the enemies of the people you will not be able siding with peace, you don't want peace, you will not understand peace and you will work against peace, which is the reason for you being the enemy of the people.
This is why the "rebels" will fail…they were never unified – never had the same goals except the overthrow of the Assad government. They were doomed from the beginning. There is the possibility that the ultimate goal of those pushing for the conflict (agents from the US and Israel) was purely for the purpose of destabilization of Syria – and the ME overall.
Frankly, I'd like to know who's the idiot who invited them!?
THese "rebels" are NOTHING! They're not legal, they're not a legal government, they have no 'raison d'etre." All they are are psychos, killers, from other countries, that even their own people have rejected.
Why are we even considering them?
It would be a justice to iinnocent civilians, if they would be scattered to the winds, even better, , more merciful for the "Greater Good" – would be to burn them out, like the lethal viruses, they are,
In translation, the phoney group that is representing no-one, set up by Western governments to take over after the psychos kill enough civilians, "pushing" Western "humanitarans" into "something must be done mode". Seen this in Kosovo, seen it in Libya. Obama and Clintonites like Kosovo model. This is why until today, in Kosovo, phychos and criminals are the "government" and we pretent that everything is normal. On the ground in Syria, nothing new. Phychos continue chopping heads, dismembering children, kidnapping Red Cross, journalists, bombing near the places inspectors stay. All is fine and well in the West, as it this is all normal. West has to check its collective head. The only thing to do is to help Asssad destroy the terrorist, and hopefully make sure they end their career there, and not go back to their countries.
Free Syrian Army is NOT made of deserters. Much propaganda in Western media contributed to this fake image. Free Syrian Army consisted mainly of Syrian and Iraqi SALAFISTS. Anyone who deserted was also a SALAFI, but there were not many of them among Syria Sunnis. This is why the army is still majority sunni soldiers. After, what was percieved by Salafi rank and file the FSA started playing politics with the outside groups — they distrusted the leadership, and went into other Salafi groups — we call usually "Al-Qaeda", even though they do not care about such titles. Salafis have their own world view, and is turned to Mecca — that is all. Now, FSA is in trouble, and is negotiating with Assad. Otherwise, they will be beaten by the Salafi groups. You can bet that it was Salafi groups with Saudi money that is doing all the killings and all the bombings. FSA now need Assad's help. That is why the external fake bodies are in a panic over a conference. If it comes — FSA will not be under their thumb, as it is trying to come to terms with Assad.
What's a "legal government?"
Governments make laws. And usually the first laws they make are laws affirming their own exclusive "legality."
The Syrian National Coalition has almost certainly asserted that it is the only "legal government" of Syria, just as the existing regime has ever since (and probably actually before) 1970's "Corrective Movement," i.e. coup.
