Syria : NATO Chief Rules Out Intervention In Syria.

Source RT

NATO has no intention of intervening in Syria, the alliance’s Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Monday. A political decision on the country’s conflict is still possible, he said at a monthly press briefing. Itar-Tass also quoted him as saying that the alliance will not think it necessary to set time limits to achieve a political decision.

Syria: U.S. Backed Terrorirsts Told To Report 'No opposition talks if intervention is not discussed'

 

Members of the radical Syrian opposition have boycotted a meeting in Cairo, where some 250 delegates are discussing an internationally backed transition plan. The armed rebels branded it a conspiracy and said the agenda lacked an aggressive stance.

The rebel Free Syrian Army and "independent" activists lashed out at the organizers of the two-day conference for “rejecting the idea of a foreign military intervention to save the people… and ignoring the question of buffer zones protected by the international community, humanitarian corridors, an air embargo and the arming of rebel fighters."­
The boycotters said they refused “all kind of dialogue and negotiation with the killer gangs… and we will not allow anyone to impose on Syria and its people the Russian and Iranian agendas.”

The meeting in the Egyptian capital brought together mostly members of the exiled wing of the Syrian opposition, the Syrian National Council (SNC), as well as representatives from France, Tunisia and Turkey.

The Cairo event is to be closely followed by a visit of the Syrian opposition delegation to Moscow on Wednesday and Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. Next week the head of the SNC Abdulbaset Sieda may arrive in the Russian capital to meet Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

The Syrian opposition is mulling a proposition for a transition in the country, which was voiced by international negotiators in Geneva on Saturday. The plan is to form a transition government, which would include representatives from both the current government in Damascus and opposition members.

The initiative is universally backed in contrast to months of disagreement over how to deal with the conflict. This is even despite lack of coherence over whether Syrian President Bashar al-Assad or members of his inner circle have a place in the would-be transition government.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said an initial version of the document read “those whose continued presence and participation would undermine the credibility of the transition and jeopardise stability and reconciliation,” but the phrase was dropped out of the final communiqué on Russia’s insistence and replaced by a reference to “mutual consent” of the parties involved.

“It didn’t fit in into the principle of inclusiveness and the UN Charter article on non-interference into domestic issues of sovereign states,” he said, adding that the composition of the would-be government has to be decided by the Syrians alone.

 
But US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton believes even in the new version the document implies that Assad has to go.

There is "no way anyone in the opposition would ever consent to Assad or his inside regime cronies with blood on their hands being on any transitional governing body," she commented.

DAMASCUS- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad endorsed a counter-terrorism law, which came just days after he announced that Syria is at a state of real war.

The anti-terrorism law, announced by state-run SANA news agency on Monday, says that punitive actions would be leveled against anyone proven to have committed acts related to terrorism.

President Bashar al-Assad issued Law No. 19 on combating terrorism. The anti-terrorism law identified some terms in connection with the application of this law provisions, as “The law is anti-terrorism law and the state is the Syrian Arab Republic.” ...read more

President Bush to Tony Blair: "The US was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours. If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach"

Bush: "It was also possible that a defector could be brought out who would give a public presentation about Saddam's WMD, and there was also a small possibility that Saddam would be assassinated."


Blair: "A second Security Council Resolution resolution would provide an insurance policy against the unexpected and international cover, including with the Arabs. "

Bush: "The US would put its full weight behind efforts to get another resolution and would 'twist arms' and 'even threaten'. But he had to say that if ultimately we failed, military action would follow anyway.''

Blair responds that he is: "solidly with the President and ready to do whatever it took to disarm Saddam."

Bush told Blair he: "thought it unlikely that there would be internecine warfare between the different religious and ethnic groups." .....read more

Geneva agreements mean end of Assad`s rule – France

­The declaration adopted in Geneva means the end of president Assad`s rule, said French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. The text agreed upon in Geneva proposes that a transitional government take power in Syria to end the conflict. The measure implies that Assad must go, Fabius declared in a televised interview. Moscow, however, maintains that the final text of the declaration does not order Assad to step down.
