Why there won’t be a ceasefire this Eid al Adha in Syria "Why should we give them these gifts? Do you think al Qaeda and these North African and Persian Gulf jihadists will observe the Eid al Adha holiday? Do you think they will pass Eid praying and sacrificing lambs and camels and distributing the meat to poor people as a gift? Or, by celebrating the end of the Haij Pilgrimage and asking God for forgiveness? No my dear, I assure you they will not. They will use a ceasefire to rebuild their ranks to prolong the chaos and terror. Our president is very wise and he knows this as well.” ... “Let me give you an example,” he said going on to explain that there are now eight Syrian army checkpoints between Damascus and Homs, so the road is usually secure. He continues, “The opposition has the habit of using terror and hit and run tactics. They set up checkpoints for pro-western media outlets to film to demonstrate that they are gaining support and then they quickly run away before the Syrian army attacks them. It’s kind of a psychological war, but as a military man I can tell you psychological tactics with one’s enemy are very important. Their aims are to impress the western media and to weaken the confidence of our people, soldiers and leaders. They will eventually fail but an ill-considered ceasefire for Eid will not help.” |

He added that some rebels also "agreed to the principle" of a cease-fire. But whether the words lead to any kind of peace remains uncertain. The U.N.-Arab League special envoy to Syria spoke from Cairo after a recent trip to Damascus. But Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said that from his perspective, nothing was set in stone. "The issue of halt(ing) the military operations during the Eid al-Adha holiday is still under study by the general command of the military and the armed forces," Makdissi told CNN Wednesday.
