With the virtual collapse of the secular Free Syrian Army (FSA), Western nations have been on the hunt for a new “Western-backed” rebel faction in Syria, with Britain courting the Islamic Front and others having debates about the difference between “good al-Qaeda and bad al-Qaeda.”
Maybe the new Western-backed faction is just going to be the Assad government now, as the latest reports are that key European nations, as yet unnamed, have been sending top intelligence officials to Damascus to discuss their concerns about foreign rebels.
In the EU this has been a major concern, with reports of thousands of EU citizens now fighting in Syria, mostly for al-Qaeda-linked groups. As the war drags on, this situation is only going to grow.
The US has so far insisted they are uninvolved in any direct talks with the Assad government, but likewise wouldn’t deny that other Western nations are doing so. The revelation comes just a week before the Geneva II peace conference however, which is being attended by government officials and likely no rebels at all, and could suggest Assad will be going into those talks with more backing than initially expected.
Start getting your heads out of sands and smell the reality, from Swedish government and monarch to English, the French and others just few months ago were predicting the regime change is Syria and even Hillary Clinton was betting on it. The Syrian people said it from day one, Syria is not Yugoslavia nor is Libya, Syrian people are free of all religious or racist or any other kind of prejudices that western societies struggling with; therefore 78% of the Syrian people still fighting the changes set by west.
For the west it is time to realize the truth that Syrian government is not going anywhere nor there is a power in this world capable changing it, unless the Syrian people vote the Syrian government out.
We said it from day one, there is no opposition with the real meaning of the word in Syria, there are those that oppose the government but they are only a hand picked street intellectuals living in Istanbul, Paris or London paid and supported by Saudis and western government which predicted the change. Every government has a opposition but that doesn't mean that majority of people would support them.
The obstacles that stoping the progress in democracy in Middle East are two, Saudi Arabia, the tyrants of Middle East and Israel, they always been the reasons and due to western support with their wrongful foreign policies the progress in democracy been delayed. The start of the Syrian war, the uprising of yet another barbarian group in Middle East, support of these barbarians by the west and Saudi Arabia-Wahhabis-Sallafis is again delaying the progress in democracy in Middle East.
Groveling and kissing ass is accepted.
I hope Assad uses this offer to lure any “Western-backed” forces into a trap. Maybe then they will leave Syria.
