Latest On Syrian Conflict

Although we are distracted by the Sandy Hook shooting, 12-21-12, & gun control; the conflicts in the ME continue to spread & incorporate even more elements.

Morning



Sadly enough!! Another day of war

Good morning!!





Interesting that the network MSM are even picking up on this now.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas wants Palestinian refugees living in Syria and affected by the fighting there to be able to enter the West Bank or Gaza Strip.

The official WAFA news agency said Abbas on Wednesday urged United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to help the refugees get to Palestinian territories.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency says more than 486,000 Palestinian refugees were living in nine official and three unofficial camps in Syria.

RUSSIA has dispatched warships to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, its defence ministry announced, in what appeared to be preparation for the evacuation of Russian citizens from Syria.

The news came as thousands of Palestinians fled Damascus after an attack on the country's largest refugee camp, according to survivors who have reached Lebanon.

Russian officials began formulating plans during the northern summer for an evacuation, but have delayed making public announcements, analysts say, to avoid signalling a loss of confidence in President Bashar al-Assad.

The World Food Programme (WFP) says it is becoming increasingly difficult for Syrians to get enough food as the conflict continues in that country. It says the country's hardest hit areas are in the north where insecurity is preventing delivery of food to people in need.


Despite these difficulties, the agency continues to make efforts to provide food to the hundreds of thousands of displaced people inside Syria and refugees in neighbouring countries.

WFP spokesperson in Geneva Elisabeth Byrs said since the beginning of November her agency has distributed food assistance to 1.3 million people inside Syria.

This will add even more fuel to the fire in Israel.

I do not expect any major cataclysm with 12-21, but I do see the world shift even more decisively into a very dangerous footing.

Syria's longtime vice president said the army cannot defeat the rebels fighting to topple the regime, the first admission by a top government official that a victory by President Bashar Assad is unlikely.

In an interview with Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar published on Monday, Farouk al-Sharaa offered the unusually bleak public assessment of the civil war.

"All these opposition forces can only conclude the battle to topple the regime if their goal is to push the country into chaos, a cycle of violence that has no end," al-Sharaa said in the interview. "I don't see that what the security forces and army units are doing will lead to a definitive victory."

Al-Alkhbar said al-Sharaa was speaking in Damascus.

Even Syrian leadership feels they cannot prevail over the rebels.

Next ME conflict will change the history big time

Syria is well on it's way to be easy pickings for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Assad is no choir boy, but the more countries that fall to MB rule, the more dangerous the world becomes for anyone who is not an Islamic Fundie.

ANTAKYA, Turkey — The new Syrian rebel military commander said he is "very afraid" a cornered Syrian President Bashar Assad will unleash chemical weapons on his own people but the opposition does not have the means to seize and secure them.

Gen. Salim Idris, who defected from the Syrian army in July, told The Associated Press in an interview the rebels could defeat the regime within a month if supplied with anti-aircraft weapons. Without foreign military help, he estimated it could take up to three months.

Assad's troops are stretched thin and have lost ground in recent months, particularly in northwestern Syria, but have kept rebel fighters pinned down with massive air bombardments. Idris claimed that more than 120,000 armed men are fighting Assad's military, a figure difficult to confirm independently in the chaos of the civil war.

Although NATO and Turkey's officials have emphasized that the deployment of Patriot missiles in Turkey is only for defensive purpose, Iranian officials expressed their deep concerns over the issue over the past days.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast reiterated Tuesday that NATO's deployment of Patriot missiles in Turkey is a "provocative" move.

Mehmanparast said that any "provocative" measures like deploying Patriot missiles in Turkey-Syria border is at odds with the interests of regional countries.

Such measures are the "root causes of instability and insecurity" in the region, said Mehmanparast at weekly press conference.

He said that Iran has announced its position over the deployment of the air-defense system to the Turkish officials, emphasizing that the stability should be achieved by cooperation of the regional states and any measures which may led to further instability and insecurity in the region should be avoided.

Also on Tuesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu stressed that the Patriot missiles to be deployed along Turkey's border with Syria are for "defense" purpose, refuting recent accusations by Iranian officials.

Iran is taking a threatening stance over Patriot Defense Systems mobilization in Turkey.

So, correct me if I'm wrong. The UN and the States, are sending aid supporting the rebels(who are Muslim brotherhood/jihadist) in overthrowing the Syrian government...therefore installing a radical Muslim rebel force in charge of Syria? Is that right?

As President Barack Obama enters his second term, Syria has become the most urgent test of his foreign policy leadership and style.

If Obama finally takes ownership of the effort to unseat Bashar al-Assad (which would not require U.S. troops or planes), there’s still a chance of preventing a Syrian implosion. If the administration leads from in front, it may be possible to head off a strategic disaster that would endanger Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Israel.

Yet early signs indicate Obama will continue the muddled Syria policy of his first term, while continuing to lead from way, way behind.

Yep.

Ain't that a bitch?

Our hard earned tax dollars at work & not a peep from the sheep.

They did the same coup in Libya..What is Obama's goal in doing this?(NVM I know the outcome he is wanting)And you are right we are funding these operations. I truly am ashamed that we have let these maniacs in Washington continue on this evil agenda. We as citizens are just as guilty for all those body bags filled with civilians killed by illegal drone strikes. I hope we can learn from our middle east brothers and sisters and Greece and Spain in Europe to have the testicular fortitude to protest and cause real change in power

Europe also sponsors these barbarians, but there are hardly any protests here against the Middle East policy. People have been brainwashed and most sheeple believe in the 'evil dictator' lie. I have read recently (on voltaitre?) that 'rebels' get a bounty for every alavit or christian they kill and that France sponsors these killer squads.

Morning all!

We are conditioned to abhor violence, so even when there is a desire to stop the actions of a criminally insane government, those taking part march peacefully in their designated protest zones until the government decides to send everybody home to bed to dwell on what was destined to fail before it had even begun; point in case;

Here is my question which no one seems to wish to touch. What the hell are these Pali Refugee Camps funded by the UN et al all over the Arab countries? They have existed since 1948 and have drained billions if not trillions from the UN and the west. Why have these people not been resettled in their host countries? Could it be that international policy is at fault for the ME ills?

Muslim prophecy foretells a "prince" who will unite all of the Muslim nations under one command. This commander will unite with the Mahdi (the Antichrist in Christian prophecy) and ride out to kill and conquer most of the free world, forcing them to Islam.

With commonality of government control, seems more likely, doesn't it?

I know I am distracted being a live a half hour away from that, and it's visibly shaken most of us folks living down here. Living in an inner city I'm used to violence, but up there in that part of the state, with children, that's just a whole other level of evil.

Like passing UN181 against the wishes of the people that live in the area?

Won't be long before the "moderate" is toppled and replaced with a radical. AKA Muslim Brotherhood.

Does this mean Obama will get another Peace prize?

... because most of the other ME countries regard the Palestinians as vermin. These people are not wanted even by their own Muslim "brothers', instead, they are simply useful for promoting the Islamic agenda & demonizing the west.

In the end, the Palestinians are screwed regardless of how fate unfolds.

what's the body count?
