Assad Agrees to form Transition Government!! A very telling snip from DB's second link: Quoting: northerntomcat Annan spoke to reporters in Geneva after a private videoconference session with the U.N. Security Council in New York. The envoy did not identify the person whose name Assad put forward, but said: "He did offer a name and I indicated that I wanted to know a bit more about that individual. So we are at that stage." Read more: [link to www.dailystar.com.lb] (The Daily Star :: Lebanon News :: [link to www.dailystar.com.lb)] Naming your own successor is the oldest trick in the book,every tin pot dictator in the world has tried this one. NATO was clear.... Assad is not to choose the next leader. The next Syrian government will be comprised of candidates that expressed interest in Moscow and Tokyo. I think this story was broken early, and is rumor. Appears to have too many flaws in it already. |

This doom unfortunately is unavoidable, Syrian population is very diverse, lots of different religions living peaceful with each other for years. You all know the outcome if the Brotherhood gets in control. Last Edited by insertfunnyusername on 07/11/2012 04:56 PM |

Assad Agrees to form Transition Government!! THIS MEANS NOTHING. Assad isn't going to barter for a transitional government. You're talking about a Shiite Muslim with ties to Iran, Hezbollah, and Afghanistan. He's not going to surrender. Most likely it's a STALL tactic. It's straight out of SUN TZU'S "The Art Of War" The Sheathed Sword (Offensive Strategy) Focus is on knowledge of self and opposition, and the accomplishment of objectives by informed pre-positioning so as to minimize the need to engage in costly conflict |

Assad Agrees to form Transition Government!! Have you all forgotten so soon that in that "useless" constitution that was drafted and ratified months ago with a majority of the popular vote, stated that Assad would step, and he agreed to that, Russia approved of this process from the beginning. This is what is happening right now. Assad will be replaced with another pro eastern, Syrian nationalist leader. The rebels ultimately wont have much say, they were never a very popular group from the beginning. Many Syrians wanted reforms, wanted the right to run for office, wanted stability, and did not want to have their nation destroyed by NATO or the rebels. If the rebels refuse to participate, it will only make them look even more illegitimate, and distance themselves from the vast majority of the Syrian population that wanted democratic reforms, not destruction. |

There's a reason the only place the rebels can maintain any foothold is in the border towns. Since NATO isn't there to bomb the Syrian military, the rebels really cannot hold any ground for very long before the Security Forces shell them, then move in with their armor to mop up. |

I do not believe he is willing to step down. He believes that the opposition are terrorist backed by the West, I can not see him handing power over to the opposition. Especially when he is winning against the rebels. To each is own... |

Assad Agrees to form Transition Government!! Brilliant strategy... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19152396 1. Calls for disarmament for meaningful transition. If they say no than they look like they are not willing to negotiate. If they say yes, then Assad gets all of their arms. also can prove that America is supporting them with US arms. 2. Wants "unity government", which means these rebels will have to come out of the woodwork and expose themselves to take power. 3. Iran agrees, making Iran look peaceful and reasonable. 4. Buys time. Iran and Syria are masters at buying more time, the more time they get the more time Russian arms get to travel to them for eventual war. 5. If the offer is refused than they can legitimately say (Iran and Syria) that they tried their best to keep peace, but these rebels just want to continue bloodshed. Great strategy IMO... Nonsense. All this is is bickering as to who hogs the top table in global capitalism. The US and UK know that if they stick to their guns, the others back down as these two are the wizards in capitalism, the alchemists. Don't be waiting for Iran, Russia or China to satisfy your desire for change (now or at any time in the future.) Aint gunna happen, I am sorry to say. Workers of the World, Unite.
