MP: Iran, Russia Naval Presence in Syrian Waters: Message to USA
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/227506.html
"A Senior Iranian lawmaker says the presence of Iranian and Russian naval forces in Syria's coastal waters is a clear warning to the US to refrain from any possible military adventurism. Hossein Ebrahimi, deputy chairman of Iran Majilis National Security and Foreign Policy committee added that in the event of a US strategic mistake in Syria, Washington may receive a crushing response from Iran, Syria and a few other countries..."

The International Committee of the Red Cross said Monday that it is trying to broker a ceasefire aimed at allowing emergency aid to reach people in the areas most affected by fighting in Syria, where thousands have died in an 11-month uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
An ICRC spokeswoman said the Geneva-based aid group has been in talks with Syrian authorities and opposition groups for some time but attempts to negotiate a ceasefire had begun only recently. She declined to specify when.
"We are currently discussing several possibilities with all those concerned, and it includes a cessation of fighting in the most affected areas," the spokeswoman, Carla Haddad, told The Associated Press.

US military officials confirmed Saturday that US drones are flying over Syria, as fighting spreads inside the country and US officials discuss military or "humanitarian" intervention to topple Syrian President Bashar al Assad.The drone flights, which flagrantly violate Syrian air space, include a "good number" of both military and US intelligence drones, according to US defense officials. These officials said the drones' mission is to obtain "intercepts of Syrian government and military communications in an effort to ‘make the case for a widespread international response.'"
The Israeli daily Ha'aretz also reported Saturday that Syrian forces had captured 40 Turkish intelligence operatives working with the "opposition" inside Syria. It said the Turkish operatives confessed to working with the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad to train the US-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), and claimed that Mossad operatives were working with Al Qaeda operatives in Jordan planning operations in Syria.
Terrorist attacks against women and children are called revolutionary.

The Case For A Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy - by Jean Bricmont
http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/02/20/the-case-for-a-non-interventionis...
"The events in Syria, after those in Libya last year, are accompanied by calls for a military intervention, in order to 'protect civilians,' claiming, that it is our right or our duty to do so. And, just as last year, some of the loudest voices in favor of intervention are heard on the left or among the Greens, who have totally swallowed the concept of 'humanitarian intervention'.
In fact, the rare voices staunchly opposed to such interventions are often associated with the right, either Ron Paul in the US or the National Front in France. The policy the left should support is non-intervention..."

RT - ‘Assad must go to save Syria from intervention’ (interview with Tariq Ali)
Syrian President Bashar Assad should resign if he doesn’t want to repeat the fate of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi, while Russia and China should help him to do so, the Middle East expert Tariq Ali told RT.British historian and journalist Ali considers it unlikely that Syrian president will step down on his own accord.
“He has to be pushed out,” Tariq Ali insists, for which “the Syrian people are doing their best”.
. . .
The expert says both Assad and his father have spilled enough Syrian blood and that “this family is unacceptable”.
. . .
“The fact is that the overwhelming majority of people in Syria want the Assad family out – and that is the key thing that we have to understand and he [Assad] should understand,” Tariq Ali claims.

Heh, "Middle East expert". Reminds me of Barry Weisleder saying Canada (actually the NDP, specifically) should demand that Libyan borders be opened so that the "rebels" could get arms. He said it here on babble.
What is it with these characters? Not enough to do in their own lives? Have to push for regime change in countries targeted by the U.S. and the U.K.?

Upon Return to Israel, Druze Students Say Syria Crisis Isn't All That It Seems
http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/upon-return-to-israel-druze-st...
"Druze students returning to the Golan Heights from Syria said on Monday that they never saw any demonstrations, and that reports and pictures emerging from the country were not credible. 'There is a feeling of uncertainty, people are very confused,' said Nadar Khalabi, who studies Arabic literature.
'I went out to the street when I heard there was a demonstration, but I didn't see anyone,' he said. 'A large part of the pictures and reports from Syria are not reliable, at least that was our impression.' Another student, Wissam Safdy agreed. 'I went to the al-Mazzah neighborhood in Damascus where there were reports of demonstrations, but I didn't see anything,' he said. 'We don't know what's happening, but in Damascus things are calm, and the prevailing feeling is that in the end Syrians will come out of this crisis.."

International Tensions Mount Over Syria Conflict - by Partrick Martin
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2012/feb2012/syri-f22.shtml
"The United States and other imperialist powers are pushing ahead with plans for military intervention and the overthrow of the Syrian government, convening a meeting Friday in the Tunisian capital, Tunis, of so-called 'Friends of Syria.' [John Baird is a 'Friend' going]
Tunisian Foreign Minister Rafik Abdessalem, speaking Monday after a meeting of Mediterranean region foreign ministers in Rome, said his government had decided that 'The Syrian National Council (SNC), the largest Syrian opposition group and other opposition groups will be represented at the Tunis meeting.'
The SNC is an amalgam of CIA hirelings, Islamic fundamentalists and disaffected former officers of the Assad regime in Syria, sponsored by Turkey and the US in a maneuver similar to the creation of the National Transitional Council in Libya, which provided a pretext for the US-NATO war against that country.
An SNC spokesman said the group would go to Tunis to seek military aid for the Free Syrian Army (SFA), the armed wing of the 'rebels'. The two countries that ahve the closest relations with Syria, Iran and Russia, are excluded from the meeting of the 'Friends' along with China, which joined with Russia to veto a UN Security Council resolution that would have opened the door to a Libya-style military intervention in Syria..."
Baird To Attend Friends of Syria Meeting in Tunis - by Lee Berthiaume

"...After London the Foreign Minister will jet to Tunis to attend this Friday's Friends of Syria meeting, which will be attended by high-level officials, international organizations and Syrian opposition movements. Canada has been in the vanguard of these meetings when they were still getting off the ground and building legitimacy... Officials in Baird's office have said the government is looking to co-ordinate with allies. It appears there will be discussion about arming the Syrian rebels, though Canada would never willingly admit that it was supportive of such a move.."

[size=12] Bec, a fellow American has something to say to you: Silencing The Critics by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, the "father of Reaganomics"
What the Ministry of Truth calls “peaceful protesters brutalized by Assad’s military” are in fact rebels armed and financed by Washington. Washington has fomented a civil war. Washington claims its intention is to rescue the oppressed and abused Syrian people from Assad, just as Washington rescued the oppressed and abused Libyan people from Gaddafi. Today “liberated” Libya is a shell of its former self terrorized by clashing militias. Thanks to Obama, another country has been destroyed. Reports of atrocities committed against Syrian civilians by the military could be true, but the reports come from the rebels who desire Western intervention to put them into power. Moreover, how would these civilian casualties differ from the ones inflicted on Bahraini civilians by the US supported Bahraini government, the military of which was fortified by Saudi Arabian troops? There is no outcry in the western press about Washington’s blind eye to civilian atrocities committed by its puppet states. How do the Syrian atrocities, if they are real, differ from Washington’s atrocities in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo prison, and secret CIA prison sites? Why is the american Ministry of Truth silent about these massive, unprecedented, violations of human rights?Bec, your governments no longer represent the American people. Your constitutional rights have been reduced to discussion in lapdog news media as whether Americans should receive free condoms. Americans are lied to constantly by what amounts to an Orwellian ministry of truth.[/size]

Syria: Seeking a Convenient Casus Belli - by Tony Cartalucci

"...Syria's rebels are armed. Were they running loose in New York City, a military operation mobilized to neutralize them would not be described as a 'massacre' by the corporate media...What we do know is that the West has long ago predetermined that regime change will occur in Syria, and that they will do anything necessary, at any cost to achieve it.."
What Does the Civil War in Syria Really Mean for Iran, Russia and China?
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article30622.htm
"...The behind-the-scenes but direct involvement of Gulf States like Qatar in the war in Libya adn the transformation of the Arab League into a 'US/NATO invitations committee' clearly shows that the rich oil sheikdoms are becoming concerned and have decided to counter what they perceive as the 'Shia crescent's' threat.
But let's remind ourselves of what we are talking here: the Shia crescent is nothing else but a list of countries where the Shia have been systematically and brutally repressed and excluded from the political process either by secularists (Shah in Iran, Saddam in Iraq), Wahabbi zealots (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia) or a mix of both (Lebanon).
It also happens that these are parts of the Middle East in which most of the oil can be found."

Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has arrived at the hotel for the meeting, but the protest forced US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be diverted to her hotel, delaying her appearance at the conference.
The Syrian government supporters, waving Syrian and Tunisian flags, tussled with police and carried signs criticizing Clinton and President Barack Obama. Police wielding truncheons stopped them from entering the venue and drove them out of the parking lot after about 15 minutes.
The Western and Arab allies are expected to endorse a proposal that Syrian President Bashar al Assad step aside and allow in humanitarian assistance to end a brutal crackdown against opponents.."

[url=http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=29476][size=16]Gladio Gang's Front Group Drafts "Humanitarian Aid" for Syria[/size][/url]
An advance draft of the Friends of Syria plan calls for al-Assad to agree to an immediate cease-fire or face a "yet-to-be mentioned response" from the "world community." It recognizes the Syrian National Council as a "credible representative of the Syrian people."As we noted last November, the Syrian National Council is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, which supported the al-Qaeda rebels in Libya and is now working with the NATO installed government to turn that country into another impoverished Arab vassal state indebted to the IMF and the bankers.
In January, Haitham Maleh, a founding member of the executive committee of the Syrian National Council, called for murdering Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, his British wife and three children.
Imagine political opposition leaders in Britain or the USSA calling for the sodomization and murder of government leaders and their families. And then imagine that foreign governments are funding and arming their militant wings and fomenting civil war in America and U.K. There would be hell to pay as a result.

What does this have to do with the fact that most Syrians support Assad and want to avoid sectarian violence and civil war, or the same sword operations used by Gladio gangsters in destroying Libya?

A few months after the aggression by imperialism and its war machine NATO, against the Libyan people and territory, the major imperialist powers orchestrate new belligerent adventures in the Middle East.
The US and EU, accompanied by Israel and the Gulf monarchies, plan moves, create pretexts, generate internal interference set on de-stablizing the countries in the region that do not fit into their plan and interests. Their current targets are Syria and Iran.

Allot. If most Syrians support Assad how can a hand full of outsiders defeat him right in front of his supporters and his army? Given how big the Syrian army is I would say if what you say is true Assad is safe from any outside overthrow attempt.
Of course that doesn't explain why his military is shooting artillery into cities (if you believe that); but hey I'm not going to ask you a question like that... you'd probably say that's irrelevant.
