Re: BREAKING - Annan says 'Iran OK with Assad Stepping Down'!! Assad Agrees to form Transition Government!!
A very telling snip from DB's second link:

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."

 Quoting: northerntomcat


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.

Kudos to Annan, he's trying hard. Expect talks to collapse in the next days as always. 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.

Re: BREAKING - Annan says 'Iran OK with Assad Stepping Down'!! 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"

Re: BREAKING - Annan says 'Iran OK with Assad Stepping Down'!! 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.

Well, they could run out of ammo, supplies. 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.

Re: BREAKING - Annan says 'Iran OK with Assad Stepping Down'!! Assad Agrees to form Transition Government!!
Unfortunately this will not be good enough for the US Evil Shadow Government/International Bankers/etc..... They need to be able to install their own Puppet Government of Traitors. It is the way of all invading money grubbers who want to control the world's wealth and make Iran their cotton picking slaves. You'd hope after a decade of war with countries that posed no threat to the U.S., with hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, dead, etc would teach even the most thick-headed a lesson, but nope, they still want more!! First off the US goes to war where the International Bankers tell them to do it. First in Iraq because he dared to mention trading oil for anything other than USD. Iran's central Banks are not affiliated with the FED/IMF system (this is what this entire BS is all about). Therefore they need to be brought in line. So the US military will be used to attack Iran due to the Banker's wishes for ultimate control unless a US Puppet Government is installed. If a US Puppet Government is not installed they will commit another False Flag sometime in October - December time frame. We already have our next Puppet President for the next term which is Romney and what perfect time to have it while everyone is distracted with all the BS election coverage.

Doorbert,

I always appreciate your work and the links you provide. But after listening to Assad as recently as 2 days ago. 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.

Annan briefed the UN Security Council after meeting with Assad and Tehran.

Assad will be represented in talks with the Rebels to decide a transition government.

UNSC will decide next steps.

Re: BREAKING - Annan says 'Iran OK with Assad Stepping Down'!! Assad Agrees to form Transition Government!!
Brilliant strategy...

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...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19152396


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.
