A new UN Security Council resolution reiterating their approval of the Kofi Annan ceasefire deal in Syria and urging both sides to stop fighting by April 10 has been stalled on specific wording, with the US seemingly trying to work the resolution into some sort of mandate.
US Ambassador Susan Rice insisted that the United Nations has to act “urgently and seriously” against Syria once the April 10 deadline the Annan government agreed upon passes, assuming there is no halt to operations.
Rice went on to add that the “United States is concerned and quite skeptical that the government of Syria will suddenly adhere to its commitments.”
The UN Security Council is supposed to approve a team of observers to ensure that the ceasefire is met by both Assad regime forces and the rebels, even though there seem to be few among the rebels who agree to the idea of a ceasefire and talks in the first place. Russia, understandably concerned that any resolution would be used to start a Libya-style NATO war of regime change, is expected to resist any wording that would make the deadline an ultimatum for UN action.
Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, one of the leading advocates of regime change in Syria, has condemned the UN Security Council for failing to issue a mandate already, saying that their lack of resolutions amounts to support for the regime.
Regarding Syria, if the UN must act, it must act against the western powers and their Arab puppets (Saudi & Qatar) as well as the assortment of their armed terrorists who are killing the Syrians.
One more thing: Who the hell is this country that constantly sticks its dirty nose into other counties’ affairs???
Let it be clear to all parties, US is a militarism regime wanting to change the life of people from Lebanon to Pakistan, conquering Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and if they can Pakistan. This is nothing new, is an on going plans since Balkan war. This plan is a military – strategic important as well as the economical aspect of having these countries under EU-US militarism control. In another word, EU-US want to militarize the area wanting to change regimes that are against such idea presented by AIPAC, non but Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perl and others.
THere is no democracy or humanitarian or human rights and other mouthful words in this plan, is simply a military plan orchestrated, organized by the Zionism in America, therefore, US Ambassador says what she have to say, like her boss she have nothing more to ad but ultimatums.
"U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice told reporters that Syrian forces have been continuing offensive operations and the United States "is concerned and quite skeptical that the government of Syria will suddenly adhere to its commitments.” as Susan Rice don't believe in Syrian government intentions sticking to UN plan for peace, the US representative is “concerned and skeptical” , now such comment is as skeptical and people of Syria should be concerned about the fact that US – EU and Saudi and UAE feudalism regimes have a plan for entire region and Syrian government don't, that Lebanese people need to be concerned and skeptical about US and its democracy, that people of Iraq need to be concerned and skeptical about US – EU and Saudis – UAE feudalist regimes plans for Iraqis people, and so on. In the other hand, Paranoia is the largest and the most depressive social sickness in modernized world, this makes people not to trust each other, this makes people distance from each other, this makes everyone suspicious about his or her neighbor, the sickness is a social psychological warfare to divide people and the word "concerned and skeptical" is part of that, these word and ultimatums are part of that sickness.
Where is the UN "action" on US/Israeli constantly flaunting their criminality? Oh, that's probably because the UN is their bastard child.
I certainly do not support any UN resolution, or indeed, anything which might offer an excuse to intervene in Syria. The Syrian people should be left alone to fight each other in peace.
ROFL! What a wonderful idea – Syrians should be left to kill each other in peace. Sounds like Iraqi type peace. But Obomber might have to share his Nobel with one of them if that happens.
Iraq was a United Nations operation. The division of land won in WWI was an operation of a like the United Nations operation and in 1948 the United Nations most certainly existed. What good came from forming Israel from a group with the most guns?
What has happened in the last 100 years is the rebels have been armed starting with Lawrence of Arabia and armed rebels has been the method to steal all the oil fields.
The United Nations is totally useless and they wasted any pretense of being an honest broker when the head of the United Nations became a cheerleader of the NATO bombers attacking Libya. What a disgrace that a member of the United Naitons was attacked by other members and the head cheers them on.
Quote. The country's domestic policies are the biggest threats to U.S. national security says Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations.
"What we do to improve our schools, our infrastructure, what we do to reduce the budget deficit…this is going to be critical in years and decades ahead," Haass says in an interview with The Daily Ticker. "The most important national security question for the coming year is actually the domestic set of issues that involves the economy."
So why is Susan Rice and friends are so frenzied up about what is going on Syria? Where in the US Constitution is the American citizen/taxpayer and government mandated to decide who is in charge in Syria, Libya, Belize or podunk?
The worst thing is that there is no hope to get somebody sane to the helm of US sinking imperial super-Titanic. Just look how this steering is done under Democrats led by Nobel Peace Prize (sic) holder Obama. And Americans (save few around Ron Paul) are ready to send another mad dog from Republicans into the duel for position at the helm of the country. Both leading candidates Santorum and Romney have shown same stupidity but people are voting for them. What is wrong with Americans? Are they really so stupid that except maybe 15% (of Ron Paul supporters) they will vote for idiot who will surely help to sink the boat in the name of Israel?
Yeah, M'ercans are soooo dumb. So dumb.
Not much of a newsflas, that, is it nucky?
Canada had its wonderful Liberals and NDP voting 100% with Harper to invade Libya, twice!
Canada has again its so called leftist parties supporting all the big war talk on Syria too.
Canada is a right wing war mongering nation full of deluded vain smug idiots who actually believe they are part of a peaceful nation. At least the Americans have about 20% of their population who actually understand that they live in a fascist nation. Canadians are more detached from reality than their southern cousins.
PS, aren't you guys all one big country now? The NAU started by Liberal Jean Chretien and now escalated by Harper continues to roll along without any substantive resistance by any of your leftist parties. Pathetic.
Heywood I am trully saddened by your coment – because it is true. I still believ there maybe is still those 15-20% of Canadians who do not like this going. We are the same in this regards, I bet, however Americans have bigger responsibility, since they are leading "international community". Unfortunately the leaders of "free world" are just shills of the most powerful.
If the UN weren't the USan puppet that it is, they would turn around an act on the US, its terrorism, imperialism, disaster capitalism, etc. But we can dream…at least while they figure out a way to profit from those dreams too, of course.
UN should start working on disolusion of Israel – for benefit of Whole Humanity.
This embarising project became very, very dangerous to life on this planet as this new state will never accept basic internacional laws and norms and soon whole world will live in pernament preparednes for war like countries in ME today. Sooner WE return before 1946, better for all….
State with undeclared arsenal of WMD now daily treats Iran for its peacefull nuclear declared program. Unbelivable arrogance and shame of civilized world…
