Arab-League Monitors Come Under-Fire Again. Assad Vows to Fight On. Any intervention would need to establish a no-fly zone to protect Jisr al-Shughour. Syrian forces used helicopter gunships in their previous attack on the city, and the Assad regime has Soviet-designed surface-to-air missiles stationed up and down the western corridor of the country that are capable of downing fighter jets. Nevertheless, a Western military force would achieve air supremacy with relative ease. The United States’ Sixth Fleet could also easily establish a naval blockade; ancillary air support could come from the United Kingdom’s bases in Cyprus.

Anyone who has followed the Libyan catastrophe through 2011 will see a similar thing played out in a much slower fashion in Syria now. One has to ask why is it taking NATO longer to enforce a no fly zone over Syria than what it did over Libya? There's many factors to this, but I think the main reason is this: Going to war with Syria involves a lot more difficulties for Empire than it did relatively on Libya. The point being that many fronts of liberation war will open up against Empire if they go for Syria directly now. [link to www.presstv.ir] |

Meanwhile, a group of alleged dissidents from Syria's ruling Baath Party, have declared a "coup" against the party's leadership, saying they would join the Syrian uprising against Assad, according to a leaked statement issued Monday in London. The group, calling itself the neo-Baath party announced "the formation of its leadership in Syria and joining the people's 10-month uprising to confront tyranny in order to establish a democratic, plural, and civil state." The statement called for a return to the ideological goals rooted in "national unity, freedom, and democracy," and urged members of the Baath party, which has ruled Syria since 1963, to rise up against the "corrupt" leadership. They called on the army to withdraw from the streets, and for the formation of a new constitution and national unity government as well as the setting of dates for parliamentary and presidential elections.

And so it is written...I can't help feeling that this whole arab spring so far is paving the way for the appearance of the 3rd anti-christ,and he will unite the arab world(sunni and shia)under one banner before he goes to war in Europe,Asia and north Africa.My feeling is he has already appeared on the scene and he is skillfully manipulating arab leaders like Ahmadinnejad in the ME.
