Rebels from the Syrian National Coalition (SNC) today met with backers in London, the latest in a long line of meetings that have mostly focused on promising funding to the opposition factions, but this time appears aimed at convincing someone of at least a little credibility to attend the Geneva 2 peace conference.
That’s looking increasingly unlikely, as several factions in the SNC have ruled out involvement, and one of the bigger factions has even threatened to withdraw its backing if anyone else attends. So far no rebel faction has agreed to attend.
That’s a big problem with the talks tentatively set for November 23, though US and Russian officials have insisted the date isn’t finalized, and Syrian President Bashar Assad echoed those comments today, saying he doesn’t hold out much hope for the talks.
Assad’s comments were immediately spun as harming the peace process, but seem entirely accurate, as even if the US does manage to get a rebel faction or two on board, al-Qaeda and others clearly won’t be, and thus anyone who does attend won’t credibly be able to offer to end the fighting.
The US and Russia have admitted as much repeatedly, and the Obama Administration seems more focused on arguing that Iran shouldn’t be involved than in getting people involved who might be able to stop the fighting.
It was NOT the Syria people who started the Syrian war, it was and still is the Saudis, the UAE, the English, the French the USG and that Swedish king who kissed the hands of these tyrant regimes who started the Syrian war. They thought that they all going to profit by sharing the Syrian natural resources by expending the Saudis and UAE tyrannical regime as they have in Libya. The European social democrats, the other deceitful and falsified democratic regimes, they all thought and worked hard to destroy Syrian people unity by presenting one after another illegitimate organization who become the rebel and later the Syrian Islamist, jihadists terrorists, these regimes even provided the home grown mercenaries-terrorists from Turkey to Sweden to France to England to USA to terrorize the Christians and all other religious and nationality in Syria, now they want to make a peace deal with who, bunch of terrorist and leftover mercenaries sent by Saudis and UAE tyrants regime? Syria is the graveyard for terrorism, the Saudis barbarians and all other one. Syria is the sanctuaries for these barbarians and rest to be barried and thats why they are in Syria, they are looking for a peaceful sanctuary with forty Swedish virgins dressed as nun by their bed side, like the one who claim that Julian Assange raped them.
For years as soon as the Palestinian elected a leader Israel would assassinate them then declare they can't talk Peace with the Palestinians because they have no peace partners.
Syria should take a leave out of Israel copy book and do the same by showing a willingness to negotiate but unable to find a Peace Partner. Keep hunting down the foreign invaders terrorists cannibals and criminals in search of one.
