Syria to Reject Any Arab League Initiative to End Crisis
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Damascus will reject any initiative stemming from this week's Arab League summit to end the year-long crisis in Syria, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.
"Syria will not cooperate with any Arab League initiative at any level," spokesman Jihad Makdissi said in a statement to AFP.
"Since its suspension from the Arab League, Syria has been dealing with member states on a bilateral level," he added.
The 22-member pan-Arab body in November voted at an extraordinary meeting to suspend Syria until President Bashar Assad implements an Arab deal to end a crackdown on a revolt which, according to U.N. figures, has left more than 9,000 people dead since March of last year.
Arab foreign ministers were meeting in Baghdad on Wednesday, on the eve of the landmark summit, to debate a draft resolution calling on Damascus to end the violence and hold talks with the opposition.
Makdissi in his statement made no reference to U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan's six-point peace plan, which Annan's camp said had been accepted by Assad's regime.

So the Arab League of Zionists and Filth kicked Syria out. And the Arab League of Zionists and Filth went to the extreme to bring down the regime. And the Arab League of Zionists and Filth openly announced that they will fund, train and ship any Sunni crazy to Syria to kill and bomb and rape and whatever filth they are known to perfect. But now the Arab League of Zionists and Filth wants to "solve" the crisis! So those who intended to kill you and failed want to help ease your pain! Surely. Just come in my friends! Here are the knives and there is the snake poison and over there you will find the hanging rope...

Vetso Yadavitch. I’m sorry who are you? Watch your Russian TV and make that analysis sure But I also watch Russian TV, CNN, BBC, Leb TV (both sides), You Tube and other sources. PLUS I live near the Boarder with Syria I hear and see first hand accounts from Syrians on how the Terrorist BASHAR and THUGS terrorize their own Citizens and then the BAATHST THUGS (Israeli helpers for past 30 yrs) Blame it on Extremist Muslims, No Sir! Stop believing the smoke screen that is blown in front of you! I put all the bits and pieces together (all news sources Lie) and make my own Objective opinion (not like the Shia Sheep) and I tell you that the people who say that we are the Zionist helpers are really the ones who are the Zionist helpers and you know what? Sometimes if the Filthy Zionist Machine in Tel Aviv is not involved it simply does really come down to it that the People are really so tired of there dictatorships and want it gone and Yes regardless of the religion or sect of the people.

he is not russian and is not even remotely linked to russia. He is a thug, just a normal thug who always posts under different names, and my guess he is one of the usual frequent posters here that always get voted down for his stupid remarks.

it does not matter anymore what the falling syrian regime accepts or not: it is already falling :)

But Dr. Fe2e3a Hableh predicted that the regime... already fell 4728 times since 2005 and then again last year before it might fall again in 2012. Keep smiling and keep hope alive. But then how can you lose hope with such precise and never-ending... failed predictions? of Dr. Fe2e3a Hableh? HOW?

True. But if we think that the Arab league members still have to learn about freedom and democracy, this definitely include the Syrian regime. This has been valid even before the year-long uprising

nice words mowaten, also geha why do you say its falling? as far as a non bias and objective analysis can be made the worst outcome is a civil war, and the best is that syria cops sanctions on it and stays like china or north korea or some other country with a mad man in charge... but falling i think is pre emptive ?

mowaten, the regime has been saying that the crisis is over for a year now and the next tuesday and bla bla bla.. a regime armed to the teeth that can not quel a rebelion for over a year will not survive. The Syrian people are not going back home, get it thru your thick head. The pre-march 15 is history. Nasralah taba3ak has finaly understood the situation because he too has been under occupation and knows that a people determined to fight an occupation can never lose thus he asked for both parties to lay down weapons. There are revolutions that lasted 10 years. The economy and the army can not go that long in Syria, that is a mathematical certainty.

maybe but the Syrian economy is backed by the BRIC nations who are now really loaded and are searching for fresh zone to colonize, so money won't be a problem. plus now that the Free syrian army has lost most if not all of it's strongholds, and that the US is backing down, I don't think the revolution stands a chance, too bad

It isn't about teaching them a lesson but helping out to end the crisis and human bloodshed. Big difference! Bachar wants to play it solo, Let's see how well he'll manage alone.

I am very happy to see that the regime in Syria is suffering from the Arab medling into their affairs. If they don't want involvement of the Arabs, why then Assad the father and his son put their noses in every single matter in Lebanon. I am laughing at them now because I want them to see how ugly it is to involve yourself in somebody else's business. What gives me comfort is the fact that their involvement in Lebanon didn't result in any regime annulation; theirs, though, will soon be gone with the wind and everything that has to do with Assad family will be unearthed and destroyed. This is what I call fairness.

Assad was never meant to be replaced. He is only meant to be shaken by the west, who wants the syrian regime weakened for a while because it is preparing to strike Iran. With Syria out of the picture , transfer of weapons to Hezbollah from Iran will be very difficult. Specially a lot of American fleets in the mediterannean. Assad will stay because the USA cannot guarantee whats after him and it might actually not help them against Iran. If it didnt want Assad to stay , it could have removed him long ago. USA attacked Irak , Libya, supported Egypt and Tunisia. But Syria is different. Time will tell and i think what im saying MIGHT be a portion of what is true

I agree exept the Us forgot to add to it's equation the BRIC nations wanting the piece of the cheese, those guys are now at lease as powerfull as the Nato economically and military, add to this the full support of the Vatican in an election year, you get the results we're seing now. too bad for the real revolution (not the Gulf funded 2ekhwan)

Look forward to see Syria in a civil war, 100+billion in debt. For all the hardships, pain, murder, kindnapping, militias and corruption you caused in my beloved Lebanon, may return 1000 fold to your dirty filthy country, no mercy no love. I do feel sorry for the innocent

Let's say that the hopeless hopefuls care less about what the "already fallen" regime says because they bet that the Free Syrian Army with the help of the Sunni crazies of Lebanon (and among these we can safely count the Christian crazies of the Lebanese Takfiri Forces) will bring down the regime in 2027, or so says the leader of the Lebanese Takfiri Forces, Dr. Karakoz Beyekh.
