Though the “official” US position on Syria seems to change wildly by the hour and is based primarily on who is talking and who is standing near them at the time, new reports suggest the Obama Administration is ready to ditch their demands for regime change.
As violence skyrockets in neighboring Iraq, and nations like Lebanon and Turkey also see destabilizing incidents along their borders, the concern of Syria’s civil war turning regional is growing, and the administration, or at least much of it, now believes that keeping Assad in place is a small price to pay to avoid that eventuality.
Which of course rests on the same premise as the US demanding regime change: the administration’s inescapable assumption that they, and not the Syrians, ought to decide who wins and loses this war. Even the past international talks have centered more on the US and Russia, with Syria’s government and rebels mostly sidelined.
The reality though is that the rebels are not on board with the idea of peace in the first place, a fact which some US officials are loathe to admit but which is drawing growing Russian concerns that the talks won’t have a serious, influential rebel component.
US government position is, as always a nebulous work-in-progress, with Secretary of State John Kerry still loudly pledging virtually unconditional support for the rebels even as the indications are that much of the rest of the cabinet is getting really concerned by the rebels reliance on Jabhat al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda faction in the fight, and the lack of secular leaders of any note.
Oh, the US is giving Assad the blessings (for a little while at least). How grand of them. Quite a pathological display of god complex.
I want for Hillary Clinton to come out and say it loudly.., apologizing to the world for what she and her European Neo fascism started.., for what Saudis and other tyranny in the region wanted for USA and NATO militarism to do against the will of the Syrian people.., that's why they realizing that they losing the war.., look Jason.., USA have no other choice but rethink its foreign politics regarding Syria.., so don't try to paint a picture of an angel while its not even close to the word.
The reason for "rebel" not "seem" to be on board of peace talks.., is because they don't have the Saudis support any longer.., they got paid for what is not accomplish.., so what is left.., the barbarians and they are also on the run.., so what is left.., nothing but for USA to accepted the fact that their plan for syria, dividing the nations and the unity among nations is lost.., that president Bashir Al-Assad, the people of Syria, the government of Syria is the only legitimate representative of and by the Syrian people.
Wow, minutes after the israeli " Israel Ready to Attack Syria if Assad Falls" their US stooges start parroting to the same effect, suggesting attempts to "damage control" the obvious links between the Zionist abomination and their Al-Qaeda´s & Al-Nusra´s in Syria. But these "birth pangs" for regime change instigated by them shouldn´t lead to the fall of a well functioning state (and a people overwhelmingly in support of their President), we learn, only to weaken it enough to not pose a threat to the Zionist hegemony and to pave a way to Iran.
Well, since Russia and the rest of the free world has made it clear that they would get directly involved(Putin teaching Nuttyyahoo a lesson in Sochi),beside arming the Syrians with state-of-the-art defence weapons like S-300 (upgraded) and Iskanders, should the Zionist abomination attack Syria again, israel seems more reluctant as the report of a Syrian retaliation attack on a military vehicle killing 4 suggests. No flexing of muscles over that one, no nuclear armageddon, only o lot of hot air from Tel-Aviv….
Totally agree that the West and Israel did not fully appreciate the resilience of the Syrian people, their love for their country and Russia's steadfastness in not allowing their nefarious designs to come to fruition. Russia's relationship to Syria, unlike what many people belive, predates the Soviet Union. __Syria was always the craddle of Eastern Orthodox christians and Tsarist Russia considered itself their protectors. But I will only believe that Putin has deliverd the upgraded S-300 and Iskander when I see them in Syria. The Iskander is Russia's first line of defense against the US's missile defense system in Europe. It would be extraordinary if they delivered it to Syria because their crews would certainlt be Russian.
Garbage– cause rebels are finished. USA is polishing up a turd Ditz !
The US thought that it could get rid of Assad with out AlQaeda type organisations getting involved, it has found that that isnt so! As Syria is on the flank of the main supply route for an invasion of Israel and also a base for which Iran could mount attacks on Israel if the Israelies actually Bomb Iranian nuclear facilities, for Syria to be in Iranian friendly hands, is literally the biggest impediment to Israeli or American Aggression against Iran, however radicalised Muslims akin to AlQaeda hold as big a risk if not more! America has totally stuffed up the middle East with its meddling since WWII. I really wonder what the middle east would be like if the CIA had not got rid of the Democratically elected Iranian Government in the early fifties for the Anglo Persian Oil Company more commonly known these days as BP!
To paraphrase Sun-Tzu (The Art of War), When your adversary approaches with overtures of truce, it is because he either can not withstand a continuation of the conflict, or he is lulling you into complacency and is planing an offensive. In either case, your response should be to IMMEDIATELY ATTACK!
Syria, with Russian support, should commit to a full offensive against these remaining Rothschild banker mercenaries and eliminate them to the last man. Rule #2 of warfare… NEVER FIGHT THE SAME ENEMY TWICE!

Why no one talks about this is beyond me.
I posted this on facebook a few months ago and it didn't seem to attract anyone's attention.
Let's start with the basics… Who are the "rebels"? Why not name the groups — besides the now infamous Al-Nusra? We know that the "Free Syrian Army" does not exist, and is merely a construct to make it appear that there is a real, meaningfull opposition and that the defectors are large part of it. None of it is the case. May be somebody can name other groups and their numbers. Also, as these groups are fiercely fighting each other, can we figure out who is fighting whom, and why? The civilian outfit is a group that has been litterally forcibly put together by the sheer will of Hillary Clinton, doomed to not function from the start. Majority have since resigned. However, since that body is RECOGNIZED by US, UK and France as the legitimate representatives of Syrian people — why cannot they negotiate? It looks like they cannot — because in Syrian nobody listens to them anyway.
However, SOMEBODY is still recruiting volunteers. From Kosovo and Serbian South were mostly moslem Albanians live — many have already returned dead. Same in Bosnia. A few days ago, in Bosnia they arrested eight people who were recruiting. Until now, they worked in open.
